Reproductive Rights in 2026: What We Need to Know

Reproductive rights in the United States continue to shift rapidly—and 2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal year. This timely panel discussion will examine the current reproductive rights landscape and the key legal, policy, and enforcement developments shaping access to care. Panelists will explore evolving legal frameworks, emerging enforcement strategies, digital privacy and health data risks, and how recent policy changes are affecting pregnant people nationwide.

The conversation features leading experts at the intersection of law, policy, advocacy, and science: Kulsoom Ijaz, Senior Policy Counsel at Pregnancy Justice, who has defended people criminalized for pregnancy outcomes and challenged abortion bans post-Dobbs; Nina Dutta, Research Counsel at If/When/How, focusing on abortion law, mandatory reporting, and health data privacy; Jackie Pace Swigler, founder of The Jane Network, providing pro bono legal defense in Florida; and Devon Graham, a toxicologist and medical school professor researching neuropsychiatric development while bringing a scientific lens to public conversations about reproductive health.

This webinar is designed for students and community members seeking clarity, context, and practical insight into what lies ahead—and how reproductive justice is being defended in a rapidly changing political climate.
