Approval Of Ru-486 As A Postcoital Contraceptive, Kari Hanson
Approval Of Ru-486 As A Postcoital Contraceptive, Kari Hanson
Seattle University Law Review
This Comment argues that if RU-486 were approved as a postcoital contraceptive rather than as an abortifacient, the drug would be of greater overall benefit to women seeking to control their fertility. To support the argument that RU-486 should be approved as a postcoital contraceptive, Part II of this Comment examines the background and development of the drug, the controversy it has engendered, and the drug's recently discovered contraceptive potential.

However, the Court also held that claims based on breach of express warranty, misrepresentation, and conspiracy were not preempted by the Act. Thus, although Cipollone represents a clear victory for tobacco companies, it also leaves the door open for future litigation. The first part of this Article will …
The Hunger Trap: Women, Food, And Self-Determination, Christine Chinkin, Shelley Wright
The Hunger Trap: Women, Food, And Self-Determination, Christine Chinkin, Shelley Wright
Michigan Journal of International Law
The authors examine the relationship of international law and food to women by first presenting seven stories of women from different situations, geographical locations, and conditions of affluence or poverty. These individual stories illustrate in a concrete way the circumstances of individual women's lives and their relationship to food and hunger. They are, to some extent, representative of women generally. We then examine the international legal framework and the provisions of international law that might be relevant to relieving the reality of hunger and women's vulnerability to food deprivation.
