Refocusing Abortion Jurisprudence To Include The Woman: A Response To Bopp And Coleson And Webster V. Reproductive Health Services, Barbara Cox
Faculty Scholarship
This Article seeks to refocus the abortion debate to include the impact of unwanted pregnancy on women. The first two sections of this Article challenge Bopp and Coleson's argument that a woman's right to choose an abortion enjoys no constitutional basis and that Roe should be reversed. A woman's constitutionally protected liberty and privacy rights are directly implicated by the state imposed pregnancy that results from restricted access to abortion. The third section disputes Bopp and Coleson's claim that the abortion right has become virtually inviolate, not subject to the state restrictions that the Court has allowed for other aspects …

Some Questions About Gender And The Death Penalty, Elizabeth Rapaport
Some Questions About Gender And The Death Penalty, Elizabeth Rapaport
Faculty Scholarship
No capital punishment statute classifies by gender, but it is arguable that gender bias infects the administration of capital punishment because the discretion of prosecutors, juries and judges is employed to the advantage of female murderers. Prior to Furman, capital punishment statutes typically gave sentencing authorities untrammelled discretion to mete out life or death. Although sentencing discretion has been substantially reduced in the modern death penalty regime, it remains arguable post-Furman that the sparseness of women on death row testifies to the discriminatory use of capital sentencing discretion. However, in light of the recent decision in McCleskey v. Kemp, in …

Women In The Aids Epidemic: A Portrait Of Unmet Needs, Arlene Zarembka, Katherine M. Franke
Women In The Aids Epidemic: A Portrait Of Unmet Needs, Arlene Zarembka, Katherine M. Franke
Faculty Scholarship
While rarely a month goes by that the topic of AIDS escapes discussion in the legal literature, a survey of legal publications reveals that the implications of AIDS for women has received scant treatment by legal commentators. Unfortunately, this neglect is not unique to the legal community, but reflects a larger societal disinterest in women with AIDS.
In fact, this epidemic looks quite different from the perspective of women. The medical, social, and legal needs of women affected by AIDS are in many ways needs that preexisted AIDS, but which have been magnified by the threat and implications of HIV …
Deconstructing Gender, Joan C. Williams
Charleston Policy: Substance Or Abuse, The , Kimani Paul-Emile
Charleston Policy: Substance Or Abuse, The , Kimani Paul-Emile
Faculty Scholarship
In 1989, the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) adopted a policy that, according to subjective criteria, singled out for drug testing, certain women who sought prenatal care and childbirth services would be tested for prohibited substances. Women who tested positive were arrested, incarcerated and prosecuted for crimes ranging from misdemeanor substance possession to felony substance distribution to a minor. In this Article, the Author argues that by intentionally targeting indigent Black women for prosecution, the MUSC Policy continued the United States legacy of their systematic oppression and resulted in the criminalizing of Black Motherhood.
Privacy And The Regulation Of The New Reproductive Technologies: A Decision-Making Approach, Antoinette M. Sedillo Lopez
Privacy And The Regulation Of The New Reproductive Technologies: A Decision-Making Approach, Antoinette M. Sedillo Lopez
Faculty Scholarship
This article maps out the territory that must be explored in this very complex area and analyzes the implications of governmental regulation of the new reproductive technology. It suggests that the central issue for analysis is the extent to which authority to make decisions concerning reproductive potential should be allocated to individuals rather than to the government. The article describes approaches to allocating decision-making authority with respect to procreative issues. The first is a rights-based approach which emphasizes individual autonomy; this approach will not permit governmental regulation which interferes with personal autonomy in decision making, at least without good reason. …
Choosing One's Family: Can The Legal System Address The Breadth Of Women's Choices Of Intimate Relationships, Barbara Cox
Choosing One's Family: Can The Legal System Address The Breadth Of Women's Choices Of Intimate Relationships, Barbara Cox
Faculty Scholarship
In discussing the legal system's response to alternative families seeking an extension of traditional family benefits, this paper is divided into two main sections. The first section summarizes the Madison experience in trying to pass a comprehensive alternative family rights ordinance. It takes an in-depth look at the entire process from the grassroots pressures on the M.E.O.C. which resulted in formation of the task force to the Common Council's enactment of two minor sections of the proposed ordinance. It will analyze the political and legal process used in an effort to obtain significant reform in the definition of family within …
Cessation Of Family Violence: Deterrence And Dissuasion, Jeffrey Fagan
Cessation Of Family Violence: Deterrence And Dissuasion, Jeffrey Fagan
Faculty Scholarship
Family violence research has only recently begun to investigate desistance. Recent developments in the study of behaviors other than family violence, such as the use of addictive substances, suggest that common processes can be identified in the cessation of disparate behaviors involving diverse populations and occurring in different settings. Desistance is the outcome of processes that begin with aversive experiences leading to a decision to stop. Desistance apparently follows legal sanctions in nearly three spouse abuse cases in four, but the duration of cessation is unknown beyond short study periods. Batterers with shorter, less severe histories have a higher probability …
Demarginalizing The Intersection Of Race And Sex: A Black Feminist Critique Of Antidiscrimination Doctrine, Feminist Theory And Antiracist Politics, Kimberlé W. Crenshaw
Demarginalizing The Intersection Of Race And Sex: A Black Feminist Critique Of Antidiscrimination Doctrine, Feminist Theory And Antiracist Politics, Kimberlé W. Crenshaw
Faculty Scholarship
One of the very few Black women's studies books is entitled All the Women Are White; All the Blacks Are Men, But Some of Us are Brave. I have chosen this title as a point of departure in my efforts to develop a Black feminist criticism because it sets forth a problematic consequence of the tendency to treat race and gender as mutually exclusive categories of experience and analysis. In this talk, I want to examine how this tendency is perpetuated by a single-axis framework that is dominant in antidiscrimination law and that is also reflected in feminist theory and …

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Regulation Of Radiation Hazards In The Workplace: Present Problems And New Approaches To Reproductive Health, Michael S. Baram, Neal Smith
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Regulation Of Radiation Hazards In The Workplace: Present Problems And New Approaches To Reproductive Health, Michael S. Baram, Neal Smith
Faculty Scholarship
On December 20, 1985, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) proposed revisions to its Standards for Protection Against Radiation [hereinafter Standards].1 If adopted, the new Standards will provide additional protection for millions of workers and their unborn children. The effects of the Standards will extend, however, far beyond the health of those exposed to radiation. Specifically, the NRC's proposal may provide a new paradigm for regulating health hazards that have no safe threshold level of exposure. It will also focus debate on whether or not women should be precluded from working in fetotoxic environments
The Impact Of Medical Technology On The Pregnant Woman's Right To Privacy, George J. Annas
The Impact Of Medical Technology On The Pregnant Woman's Right To Privacy, George J. Annas
Faculty Scholarship
In the context of the bicentennial of the Constitution and science's relationship to society, it has been argued that "the advance of science and technology in the West has changed not only the relation of man to nature but of man to man."' This seemingly immodest statement may soon prove an understatement. In the arena of human reproduction, the marriage of science and technology in medicine may change not only the relationship of man to nature and man to man, but more significantly, the very concept of what it means to be human. This, in turn, will directly affect how …

Educating Our Children "On Equal Terms": The Failure Of The Dejure/Defacto Analysis In Desegregation Cases, Antoinette M. Sedillo Lopez
Educating Our Children "On Equal Terms": The Failure Of The Dejure/Defacto Analysis In Desegregation Cases, Antoinette M. Sedillo Lopez
Faculty Scholarship
This Article will describe the narrow process oriented analysis and contrast it with the broader analysis of both the process and the results. It will demonstrate the different conceptual framework involved in evaluating each component. This Article will show how the Supreme Court has viewed educational equality following Plessy v. Ferguson. Initially, the Court's evaluation was quite perfunctory, but it became increasingly strict. By 1954, the Court in Brown v. Board of EducationI was well on its way toward evaluating the results as well as the process. Since Brown, the Court has vacillated between reviewing only the purity of the …
The Alter Ego Doctrine: Alternative Challenges To The Corporate Form, Antoinette M. Sedillo Lopez
The Alter Ego Doctrine: Alternative Challenges To The Corporate Form, Antoinette M. Sedillo Lopez
Faculty Scholarship
This Comment examines alternative challenges to the separate entity fiction. First, it will analyze the economic policies underlying the separate entity concept and the justification for imposing shareholder liability in typical alter ego cases. Second, this Comment will review cases in which the corporate entity is challenged for alternative purposes and demonstrate how the usual alter ego analysis fails in these cases. Finally, this Comment proposes a three-stage analysis for examining alternative challenges to the separate entity fiction. The proposal would require courts to analyze the facts of the cases, identify the policies underlying the challenge, and balance the economic …

The Article concludes that neither the impartial mission of the rule of law nor the neatly tooled goal of individual justice has been served by the governmental response to conjugal violence, and suggests the elements from which a valid approach may be constructed.

Book Review: Woman's Consciousness, Man's World, Elizabeth Rapaport
Faculty Scholarship
Abstract of Book Review only. Women's Consciousness, Man's World is the third of Sheila Rowbotham's three recent books to reach the United States. In Women, Resistance and Revolution Rowbotham ranged over the history of pre-industrial and industrial Europe, the Russian, the Chinese and the more contemporary third world revolutions in Cuba, Algeria and Vietnam. She sought to recover the origins, development and fates of feminist ideas and movements, and most particularly their interaction with socialist movements, in opposition and in power. In Hidden From History she gives more detailed consideration to the history of feminism and socialism in England. With …
