Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for the Centre, told a five-judge constitution bench led by Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud that the highest court has to deal with a “very complex subject” with a “profound social impact.”
“Dobbs represents the American Supreme Court’s view of a woman has no control over her bodily integrity.” “This hypothesis has long been discredited in our country,” he says.
Mehta highlighted a judgment decided by the United States Supreme Court in which it was determined that the Constitution does not include a right to abortion. In doing so, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade (1973) and Planned Parenthood v Casey (1992), both of which affirmed a woman’s freedom to make reproductive choices.
