🧵women's historian here for new #historicalcontext for #SCOTUS #abortion ruling. One word: #coverture. #Alito rails on in re: illegality of #abortion in past, but most of that time pd was under #coverture, the #commonlaw doctrine of yore.
Alito's fave dude, #Blackstone defined coverture in 1765 as "By marriage, the husband and wife are one person in law: that is, the very being or legal existence of the woman is suspended during the marriage, or at least is incorporated & consolidated into that of the husband..."
"under whose wing, protection, and cover, she performs every thing; and is therefore called in our law-French a feme-covert" Under coverture a woman could not sign contracts, control her own wages etc. If she was run over by a carriage (this is an actual case) husband could sue

Seen Ppl confuse terms like EIA, EAC, EC, SEIAA, SEAC & now DEAC. Ground realities of EIA report, Public consultation, EAC functioning, Award of EC, its monitoring etc is poorly understood. EIA legalese gotten verbose over time & agendas found entry under d clarification garb.
Today it is #HistoricalContext.
