The Case for (Just) Sex Discrimination
Until Dobbs, most people in the pro-life movement were at home with the thing that makes life possible: non-interchangeable men and women. They were thus wary of the anti-sex discrimination regime ushered in by the 1964 Civil Rights Act, then amplified by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (1978) and the Pregnant Worker’s Fairness Act (2022). They sensed that this regime was homogenizing, undermining the conditions of a rich common life, if not life itself.
