This week, May 8, 2022, we plan to discuss the leaked draft of a Supreme
Court decision ending Roe v. Wade.  We suggest the following short essays
as preparation:

Jessica Winter, What’s Missing from Alito’s Decision to Revoke the Right to
Abortion
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z_rwpoJWfbZ7ZM7lXMdzXqgvdhtSUqj6H-NBbE0pfG0/edit?usp=sharing>,
In a leaked draft, the Justice points to “history and tradition” but
ignores the context of both the past and the present.

Jill Lepore, Of Course the Constitution Has Nothing to Say About Abortion
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SKv9A096YHVH0RD4cFW9v4XnNnj0AG4KwewKJS0JVJs/edit?usp=sharing>

There is no mention of the procedure in a four-thousand-word document
crafted by fifty-five men in 1787. This seems to be a surprise to Samuel
Alito. Daily New Yorker
