Thursday Morning Riddle

I’m the opening scenes before “Shrew” has begun;
I’m to prove a first case, and then prove the plus one;
The event where you join; how electrons can run;
And to bring about birth, once a pregnancy’s done.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Asher. See comments for answer.

    Induction. This was a tough one.

    INDUCTION is correct. Way to go, Asher!

    I thought this one might be tougher than usual, but nothing you couldn’t handle.

    It’s often the case that just one of the clues will trigger the answer for someone, and they can use the other clues to confirm their guess. For me, it would have been the first line.

    I did not recall the opening to “Shrew” being called induction.
