The woman who argued Planned Parenthood v. Casey

In Planned Parenthood v. Casey’s dramatic joint opinion, the Supreme Court upheld the right to access an abortion 30 years ago this month. Amy talks with Kathryn Kolbert, who argued the case for Planned Parenthood. Kolbert explains what the 1992 argument was like from the inside and how she views Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.

An attorney, journalist, and non-profit executive, Kolbert argued two reproductive rights cases before the Supreme Court and served as the first vice president of the Center for Reproductive Rights. She is the co-author of the book Controlling Women: What We Must Do Now to Save Reproductive Freedom.
