The Road Not Taken: State Constitutions As An Alternative Source Of Protection For Reproductive Rights, Kevin F. O'Neill
The Road Not Taken: State Constitutions As An Alternative Source Of Protection For Reproductive Rights, Kevin F. O'Neill
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
Lawyers seeking constitutional protection for reproductive rights have relied almost exclusively on a liberty/privacy theory under the Federal Constitution.

But it is not strong enough to prevent states from enacting restrictions on the availability of abortion.

While these penalties could be extremely costly for municipalities, the problem becomes even more severe because many …

Municipal Annexation In Ohio: Putting An End To The Bitter Battle, Mary Shannon Place
Cleveland State Law Review
