Movement/Counter-Movement: Abortion and the De Facto ERA
The lecture recovers the silences and preoccupations with abortion present in the debate over the Equal Rights Amendment at the end of the 20th century from the early feminists to the New Right. Professor Siegel draws on this history to illuminate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s dissenting opinion in Gonzales v. Carhart situating abortion rights in women’s equality rather than in a generalized notion of privacy.
