From 2011 to 2022, the REPROHEALTHLAW BLOG was maintained by the International Reproductive and Sexual Health Law Program at the Faculty of Law of the University of Toronto (program website). Its original purpose was to make universally available the academic resources and legal developments that had formerly been emailed to program graduates and other members of the REPROHEALTHLAW-L email list since 2002. By 2022, 1,057 people, including law students and professors, medical and legal professionals and rights advocates, had voluntarily subscribed for email delivery of new posts. From the beginning, REPROHEALTHLAW focused on legal developments outside the United States, which was already well served by, for instance, the Repro Rights Prof Blog online here. As the field of Reproductive and Sexual Health Law grew, the blog began to focus on new jurisprudence, legislation, and scholarship specifically relating to abortion law.
Beginning in 2023, REPROHEALTHLAW will be managed by Joanna N. Erdman, a Professor of Law and the MacBain Chair in Health Law and Policy in the Health Law Institute at the Schulich School of Law, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Professor Erdman was also a co-editor of Abortion Law in Transnational Perspective: Cases and Controversies, published by the University of Pennsylvania Press in 2014. Her other credentials, awards, and selected publications are publicly available online here. Under the expert and creative guidance of Professor Joanna Erdman, the REPROHEALTHLAW Blog can increase its relevance and usefulness to current subscribers.
