\nBlackmun Returns, 1992
\nJack Ohman, The Oregonian<\/em><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″ offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-1 vc_col-lg-7″][vc_column_text]Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun* is well known for authoring the majority opinion in Roe v. Wade (1973), the opinion that granted federal protection to reproductive rights. Jack Ohman\u2019s 1992 editorial cartoon reflects the pro-choice sentiment as a protest signals for \u201cBlackmun Batman\u201d to not only uphold Roe in Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992) but also expand federal protections. The Supreme Courts\u2019 recent decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization (2022) overturned both Roe and Casey. Thirty years later, Ohman\u2019s cartoon remains timely as reproductive rights continue to be a politically divisive issue in the United States.<\/p>\n

Do you think cartoons affect public opinion on the law?<\/strong><\/p>\n

*Justice Blackmun and cartoonist Ohman were both Minnesotan natives. Ohman\u2019s dedication comparing Justice Blackmun to Minnesotan Baseball Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew was the utmost compliment to Blackmun by Midwest standards at the time.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”3878″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n
