It was 2014, and Erin Morrow Hawley was fighting against the egg-laying hens of Missouri.
A law professor from five generations of ranchers and the wife of Senator Josh Hawley, Ms. Hawley joined a challenge to California, which required more spacious enclosures for hens laying eggs to be sold there.
Ms. Hawley continued teaching, and Ms. Harris became Joe Biden’s vice president.
Ten years later, Ms. Hawley, 44, is now at the center of one of the country’s most heated cultural battles about bodily autonomy, gender roles and abortion.
And Ms. Hawley was the woman standing before the justices, arguing to sharply curtail access to the abortion pill.
