A political cartoon released June 24, 2022, captures the immediate reaction to the Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization that overturned Roe v. Wade.

The drawing shows a small woman in a pink shirt holding a modest gavel beside a sign reading Women's Rights. She faces a much larger robed figure labeled Conservative Supreme Court that grips a far bigger gavel. A speech bubble from the woman reads Think Again.

The image highlights the scale difference between the individual asserting rights and the institutional power of the court. The ruling returned regulation of abortion to the states, ending nearly 50 years of federal constitutional protection.

Cartoonist Dave Granlund uses the oversized gavel to symbolize the decisive majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito. The composition underscores how five of the six conservative justices formed the majority that eliminated the precedent established in 1973.
