evidence: During oral argument in Dobbs v. Jackson, the Supreme Court case challenging Mississippi’s attempt to prohibit pre-viability abortions, Justice Coney Barrett called the attention of counsel arguing against the Mississippi ban to so-called Safe Haven laws. Here are relevant excerpts from the Dobbs argument transcript: [...] What, I asked in 1997, could these stories of celibacy, contraception, abortion, and infanticide tell us about the right of procreative choice? What, I ask today, could they tell us about the profound and painful question of whether or when a pregnant person may be forbidden or otherwise prevented from terminating a pregnancy? There is no easy answer to this grave and weighty question. Different answers flow from different religious or moral convictions and in different human contexts. But the stories of slavery’s control over procreative liberty speak indirectly to Justice Coney Barrett’s suggestion that some of the difficulty in defining and justifying a constitutional right of abortion choice has been resolved by laws that permit new parents to surrender their infant children for adoption with little fuss or blame.
