Rev. 2130196-2043https://hdl.handle.net/1794/2946044 pagesThis is Article explores the 1820 criminal case of Connecticut minister Ammi Rogers. It uses an analytical, legal, and historical approach to explore the story of Ammi Rogers and what his story offers to our understanding of contemporary considerations of abortion. This Article, however, goes well beyond the historic account conveyed in legal documents and incorporates an approach more often seen in literature—a narrative analysis of law. The combination of legal, historical, and narrative analysis reveals the history, culture, and politics that have played a part in how we understand abortion in the United States.en-USAll Rights Reserved.AbortionRoe v.
