Leaked Supreme Court draft raises concern around abortion laws

For years, lawmakers and political parties have controversially debated the issue of women’s rights, specifically their right to an abortion and control over their own bodies. According to a leaked copy of an official Supreme Court draft, the Justices are ready to put the argument to rest.

Roe v. Wade, the federal case from 1973, states that under the 14th Amendment’s Due Process Clause, women have a constitutional right to choose whether or not to get an abortion before the third trimester of pregnancy. In 1992, Planned Parenthood v. Casey specifically identified the age of fetus viability as 24 - 28 weeks into the gestational period, and put in place the undue burden standard for abortion restriction. These two cases have been the basis of regulating abortions in America for years. If the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, there is no prior laws on abortion set in place for a nationwide standard.

From great staff recruitments to the creation of new majors here at Sonoma State University, the Dean of the School of Arts and Humanities, Hollis Robbins, has certainly left her mark in her time at the school. Since coming to school in 2018, Robbins has always done what was best for the school and department and she will be missed by the SSU community.

Over her time here at SSU, Robbins says that her proudest accomplishment was the creation of two new majors: Native American Studies and Cinematic Arts and Technology. When asked what led to the creation of these new majors Robbins said, “students have told us that this is what they would like to focus on as undergraduates and we are glad to serve them.”

Overturning Roe v. Wade will cause more harm than good

The American government has once again shown its inconsistency revolving around certain topics. Abortion has been and still is one of the biggest issues that divides Americans. It’s a choice between moral and tradition or someone’s safety and choice. In a country that prides itself on liberation, choosing on behalf of another shows how the legislators are using their power in an unfortunate way.

As usual at Sonoma State, the students are in the dark about all that is happening behind closed doors. It has been over two weeks since the news first came out in the Press Democrat about the $600,000 settlement involving Judy Sakaki and the sexual assault case involving her husband. Since that article came out, there has been a shift in energy on the Sonoma State campus. That shift comes mainly from the lack of knowledge across the campus about what is going on.

Six years of passive leadership strikes a chord with students

After the past few weeks of turmoil and unanswered questions, one thing remains certain: the campus community’s confidence in President Judy Sakaki has been on a steady decline for the past few years, and this current situation was the last straw for most students. In light of the no-confidence vote deliberations beginning last week, it’s important to remember that this latest scandal is not the only reason Sakaki is being deemed unfit to continue by many faculty members and students.

Students disappointed with on-campus eating experience

Lobo’s is open Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m., which doesn’t give students who have afternoon classes the opportunity to take advantage of the “college experience” that’s supposed to come with returning to campus.
