PROFILE: Erin Hawley — the YLS grad challenging abort

In 2021, Erin Morrow Hawley LAW ’05 — a former law clerk of Chief Justice John Roberts and wife of Republican senator Josh Hawley LAW ’06 — joined the legal group that helped argue against the right to an abortion in Dobbs. Today, she is the lead counsel in the next major abortion case to reach the Supreme Court, which could significantly restrict nationwide access to abortion pills if the Court aligns with Hawley’s arguments.
