Sherif Girgis on Dobbs and the Future of the Pro-Life Movement

Sherif Girgis is an Associate Professor of Law at Notre Dame Law School, where his research sits at the intersection of law and philosophy. His first book, What Is Marriage? Man and Woman: A Defense, was co-authored with Robert P. George and Ryan T. Anderson and was cited by Justice Alito in his dissent in US v. Windsor. He also served as a law clerk to Justice Alito, earned a Rhodes scholarship at Oxford, and graduated from Princeton, summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa.

Sherif joins Jon and Rob to talk about the legal reasoning employed in Dobbs and its implications for future litigation.
