NEW YORK, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The partners of Ford O'Brien Landy LLP share in the tremendous outrage of the majority of Americans over the recent Supreme Court decisions in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen and Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.  Bruen struck down a century-old New York State law requiring citizens to establish a special need for self-protection in order to carry a concealed weapon, and Dobbs overturned the 50-year-old precedent set in Roe v. Wade granting women autonomy to make their own health care decisions.

Key Points:

  • In Dobbs, on the other hand, the Supreme Court for the first time in this nation's history eliminated a previously recognized individual constitutional right.
  • But the precedent set by the Court could lead to stripping away more rights than just a woman's right to choose.
