Important discussion in Monday's Georgia abortion decision about the "uncomfortable and usually unspoken subtext of involuntary servitude swirling about this debate," with citation to Michele Goodwin's work.

21 There is an uncomfortable and usually unspoken subtext of involuntary servitude swirling about this debate, symbolically illustrated by the composition of the legal teams in this case. It is generally men who promote and defend laws like the LIFE Act, the effect of which is to require only women -- and, given the socio-economic and demographic evidence presented at trial, primarily poor women, which means in Georgia primarily black and brown women -- to engage in compulsory labor, i.e., the carrying of a pregnancy to term at the Government’s behest. ... This is eerily reminiscent of earlier times about which insufficient discussion is had when reviewing the “history” of laws surrounding reproductive rights in the United States. See, e.g., Michele Goodwin, Involuntary Reproductive Servitude: Forced Pregnancy, Abortion, and the Thirteenth Amendment, 2022 The University of Chicago Legal Forum 191 (2022).

Abortion should be absolutely protected under the 13th Amendment, among other places
