UC Davis law professor and historian Mary Ziegler has become one of the country's leading authorities on the abortion issue. She sees a push-pull between judges, anti-abortion lawmakers and Americans who by and large favor abortion rights.

For two years, ever since the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to abortion, the country has waged a fierce fight over women's health, government's reach, individual choice and efforts to either ban or guarantee access to the procedure. Standing athwart that conflict is Mary Ziegler: Interpreter, guide, prognosticator.

It wasn't just the striking down of a constitutional right, said Ziegler, an avowed feminist and supporter of legalized abortion. 'I remember reading Dobbs and the idea that somehow this was going to make it better and people were going to stop fighting. I remember thinking that is definitely not going to happen,' she said. 'I thought about all the unintended consequences it was going to have' such as denial of urgent medical care — even in cases unrelated to abortion.
