Abstract

In April 2022 a multidisciplinary group comprised of researchers from the Institute for Practical Ethics at the University of California, San Diego and the University of San Diego School of Law began organizing a conference on the matter of conscience protections in law and ethics. At the time we could not know that our chosen subject would catapult in importance. But just two months later the Dobbs decision shattered the constitutional right to abortion that had stood for a half century. On the tail of this decision many states enacted laws making it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to terminate pregnancies in a broad range of cases. The U.S. entered an era of state-coerced gestation.
