Abstract
This article aims to analyse the context and contents of the US Supreme Court’s decision Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. This ruling overruled the federal precedents Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey refusing the Constitution and Bill of Rights coverage on abortion rights. In particular, this article focuses on the relationship between the interpretation of the incorporation doctrine and the originalist one of the American Constitution. It continues investigating the opinions filed by the Supreme Court Justices and verifying the US legal framework in force after the Dobbs decision has been delivered. Finally, some comparative reflections are elaborated on the Italian legal system on this subject.
