Abortion And Harm To Children: Limits On Television Political Advertisements, David Ozmun Jan 1996

Abortion And Harm To Children: Limits On Television Political Advertisements, David Ozmun

Articles

Candidates wanting to air advertisements containing graphic depictions of aborted fetuses presented television stations with a dilemma. Sections 312(a)(7) and 315(a) of the Communications Act prevent broadcasters from censoring or restricting the political advertisements of legally qualified candidates seeking federal office. Under the United States Criminal Code, broadcasting material deemed indecent may result in penalties. Also, the Federal Communications Commission and courts have expressed concern about "harm to children" caused by televised material. While the FCC disagreed with a district court judge's ruling that political ads containing depictions of aborted fetuses were indecent, it did affirm a broadcast licensee's right …

Commonwealth of Virginia' ("VMI"), the Supreme Court has a landmark opportunity to revisit the legal standard courts should use to review classifications which treat men and women differently.

The United States, which brought the case against VMI, has asked the Supreme Court to rule that sex-based classifications, like classifications based on race, must be subjected to the highest level of constitutional scrutiny, or "strict …

Remembrances Of William D. Murphy, Margaret A. Leary

Articles

In mid-1988, as the time for me to assume the presidency of AALL at the end of the Atlanta meeting approached, the association's first executive director, William Jepson, announced that he would resign soon after the meeting. The presence of adequate staffing at headquarters had been a key element in my decision to run for president, so I was particularly appalled at the idea of the position being empty almost exactly as I took office. Then someone-I like to think it was Babe Russo but I can't remember definitely-suggested that Bill Murphy might be willing to serve as acting executive …


Choice, Conscience, And Context, Mary Crossley Jan 1996

Choice, Conscience, And Context, Mary Crossley

Building on Professor Michael H. Shapiro's critique of arguments that some uses of new reproductive technologies devalue and use persons inappropriately (which is part of a Symposium on New Reproductive Technologies), this work considers two specific practices that increasingly are becoming part of the new reproductive landscape: selective reduction of multiple pregnancy and prenatal genetic testing to enable selective abortion. Professor Shapiro does not directly address either practice, but each may raise troubling questions that sound suspiciously like the arguments that Professor Shapiro sought to discredit. The concerns that selective reduction and prenatal genetic screening raise, however, relate not to …
