In a brief to the Supreme Court, Dawn Johnsen wrote:
Quote:
 
Statutes that curtail [a woman's] abortion choice are disturbingly suggestive of involuntary servitude, prohibited by the Thirteenth Amendment, in that forced pregnancy requires a woman to provide continuous physical service to the fetus in order to further the state's asserted interest.


Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee today she said:
Quote:
 
I made no Thirteenth Amendment argument. I can state categorically I do not believe the Thirteenth Amendment is relevant at all.


Also in that brief she wrote:
Quote:
 
The woman] is constantly aware for nine months that her body is not wholly her own: the state has conscripted her body for its own ends. Thus, abortion restrictions "reduce pregnant women to no more than fetal containers.

20 years is a long time. Did she really 'testify' to it, or was it just something in a written brief?

It was (as I quoted) in a written brief. But, hey, it's only the Supreme Court of the United States. It would be unreasonable to expect a lawyer anyone to remember what they wrote to SCOTUS 20 years ago, right?

My bad.
