The End Of The North Carolina Abortion Fund, Paul Stam
The End Of The North Carolina Abortion Fund, Paul Stam
Campbell Law Review
This Article supports the court's position that there is no state constitutional right to state funding of abortion. It focuses on three areas often neglected by appellate courts. First, this article will look at the legal environment in which the Constitution of 1868 was adopted. As of 1868, the law of North Carolina would have been hostile to a claim of a right to abortion or a right to state funding of abortion. Abortion rights litigants offer several state cases as precedent for their position. Next, this article will demonstrate that many of these cases are not persuasive or are …

Conditioning A Woman's Probation On Her Using Norplant: New Weapon Against Child Abuse Backfires, Scott J. Jebson
Conditioning A Woman's Probation On Her Using Norplant: New Weapon Against Child Abuse Backfires, Scott J. Jebson
Campbell Law Review
Several courts have required female child abusers to choose between either going to prison or accepting the surgical implantation of Norplant as a condition of probation. In this Article, Mr. Jebson argues that a Norplant probation condition is invalid because it is both unreasonable and the probationer cannot give her informed consent to the procedure. Mr. Jebson argues that requiring a woman to choose between using Norplant and going to prison may violate her fundamental right to procreate, her right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment, and her right to freely exercise her religion. Further, the Author also …

Person Or Thing - In Search Of The Legal Status Of A Fetus: A Survey Of North Carolina Law, Tony Hartsoe
Campbell Law Review
What is the status of a fetus in North Carolina? This the primary question addressed by Mr. Hartsoe as he analyzes and critiques the case law and statutory enactments which deal with this question. While there is some case law and statutory authority on point, Mr. Hartsoe concludes that there is an overall paucity of law which defines the legal status of a fetus and, furthermore, the law that does exist is inconsistent. As such, Mr. Hartsoe examines the legal status of a fetus in North Carolina in the areas of wrongful death, prenatal injury, criminal law, wrongful life, wrongful …

Webster V. Reproductive Health Services: Do Legislative Declarations That Life Begins At Conception Violate The Establishment Clause?, Dr. Robert L. Maddox, Blaine Bortnick
Campbell Law Review
This article contends that the Missouri legislative statement is a theologically derived finding that personhood begins at the moment of conception. Such an inherently theological and controversial determination violates a core purpose of the establishment clause of the first amendment, the absolute prohibition against government preference of one religious sect or denomination over another and the placing of the state's imprimatur on a particular religious dogma. What follows is a synopsis of the religious debate over whether human life begins at conception. Next is a discussion of the statute in light of this debate in the context of establishment clause …
