Her research examining adoption decision-making after abortion denial was cited in the Supreme Court’s dissent in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health from Justices Breyer, Kagan, and Sotomayor.
Joy Parker is an Indigenous Abenaki granddaughter, niece, mother, auntie, midwife, and lawyer. She is one of the very few midwife-lawyers in the country.
