DESCRIPTION: What Originalism Means for Women: The dangers of 18th-century rules for 
 21st-century women\n\nWednesday, June 12, 2024 at noon - 1 PM PT (3 – 4 
 PM ET) \n\nIn a few short years, the Supreme Court has upended American 
 law, pursuing a regressive agenda cloaked as a return to the 
 Constitution’s supposed “original meaning.”\n\nThe Court’s embrace 
 of originalism poses special risks to women. The 2022 decision in Dobbs v. 
 Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade, 
 exemplifies this threat — the majority failed to fully grapple with how 
 legal and cultural gender norms have shifted since the founding era. 
 \n\nThe current term’s United States v. Rahimi, which is built entirely 
 around the fact that domestic violence was not a crime in the 18th century, 
 has taken originalism to its logical but absurd end at the expense of 
 American women.  \n\nOn June 12, join us virtually for a panel discussion. 
 The speakers will explore what the 2023–24 Supreme Court term has meant 
 and could mean for all Americans, through the lens of what it means for 
 half the population - women.\n\nProduced in partnership with the Birnbaum
