DESCRIPTION:Abortion only rarely went to court in early-modern England or 
 the American colonies. Before 1803\, there was no English criminal statut
 e prohibiting it. Yet the 2022 Dobbs decision declared that abortion had 
 always been perceived as wrong in England and early America. This talk ex
 plores a few unusually-detailed legal cases as well as medical sources to
  explore how seventeenth-century people understood ending a pregnancy. Ma
 ry E. Fissell is the Inaugural J. Mario Molina Professor of the History o
 f Medicine in the Department of the History of Medicine at the Johns Hopk
 ins University\, where she also holds appointments in the Departments of 
 History and History of Science and Technology. She currently serves as pr
 esident of the AAHM. She has been the recipient of fellowships from the N
 LM\, the Folger Shakespeare Library\, and the Davis Center at Princeton U
 niversity. Fissell has published and podcasted on topics including early 
 modern reproduction\, patient-healer relations\; popular books about sex\
 , and the history of early-modern vermin. Her recent Pushback (Seal Books
 \, 2025)\, explores the history of abortion from antiquity to antibiotics
