LOS ANGELES — Adult industry attorney Corey Silverstein was featured in a recent article by The Daily Beast's Aurora Snow, assessing how the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade is likely to impact the adult industry.
Silverstein spoke about the perils of possible on-set pregnancies in a post-Roe world.
"This has always been a major area that all performers should be considering, and while Dobbs v. Jackson does not make abortion outright illegal, each individual state is now left to govern the issue," he said. "Depending on where a performer is located, an abortion may be far more difficult to obtain. It is a necessity for performers to become more familiar with abortion laws in all states that they interact with."
Silverstein also discussed the potential concern that a performer's home state could prohibit travel to a state that still allows abortion.
“Following the Supreme Court’s decision, conservative politicians from various states have suggested that they would seek to criminalize and prosecute individuals who attempt to travel from a state that prohibits abortion to a state that allows abortion,” Silverstein explained. While deeming it unlikely that a law of this type could survive a constitutional challenge, he noted, “The mere suggestion by these politicians is disturbing to say the least.”
