3 Criminalizing Choices 3 Criminalizing Choices
The history of criminal abortion laws has long been contested. Those opposed to legal abortion argue that from the beginning, British common law has treated abortion as a serious crime, early as well as late in pregnancy. Most historians disagree, suggesting that for centuries, abortion was largely legal until quickening, the point at which movement could be detected. This debate, as we will see later in the semester, was central to the Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women. What everyone agrees on is that by the nineteenth century, the movement to criminalize birth control and abortion was having tremendous success. For anti-abortion leaders, the laws passed by this movement are sometimes still held up as a model. How does this history influence contemporary debates? Should it matter?

SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT |
2 |
ARGUMENT |
3 |
I. Through Erroneous Readings of the Historical Status of Abortion Under the Common Law, Roe Broke Sharply with the Traditional Values of the Common Law |
3 |
A. From Roe on, Courts Have Relied on a Deliberately Distorted History of Abortion |
4 |
B. From the Beginning of the Common Law, Courts and Other Respected Authorities Consistently Condemned Abortion |
7 |
C. English Law Always Prohibited Parents from Killing Unwanted Children, and Parliament and the Courts Took Strong Steps, Gradually Strengthened over Centuries, to Punish Such Acts |
13 |
D. The American Colonies Applied Laws Against Abortion Rigorously |
17 |
E. When Abortion Became More Common Than Infanticide with the Development of Technical Means with a Lessened Danger to the Mother's Life, English and American Law Came to Emphasize Abortion as the Primary Evil Endangering Unwanted Children |
19 |
*ii F. The Prohibitions of Abortion Represented a Widely Shared Consensus on the Value of Fetal Life, a Consensus that Included Nineteenth-Century Feminists and, Thus, Cannot Properly Be Characterized as a Conspiracy by Male Physicians and Others to Suppress Women |
23 |
II. Contrary to Roe, the English and American Legal Understanding Before Adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment Was That Abortion Killed a Child at Any Stage of Fetal Development, an Understanding Expressed in Case Law and Statutes |
