  • May 30, 2013 the Honorable John A. Boehner
    May 30, 2013 The Honorable John A. Boehner Speaker of the House H-232, The Capitol Washington DC 20515 The Honorable Eric Cantor Majority Leader H-329, The Capitol Washington DC 20515 Dear Speaker Boehner and Leader Cantor: We, the undersigned representing millions of Americans, strongly support enactment of protections for religious liberty and freedom of conscience. We thank you for your efforts to protect these fundamental rights of all Americans. Given that the threat to religious freedom is already underway for businesses such as Hobby Lobby and others, and that this threat will be directed at religious non-profit organizations on August 1st, we strongly urge House leadership to take the steps necessary to include such protections in the debt limit bill or other must-pass legislation before that deadline. A vital First Amendment right is threatened by the HHS mandate. The mandate will force religious and other non-profit entities to violate their conscience in their health coverage, or face steep fines and other penalties for offering a noncompliant health plan. The penalties for noncompliance could force employers to stop offering health coverage, negatively impacting them as well as those who work for them and their families. The mandate exempts churches, but not other religious entities such as charities, hospitals, schools, health care providers or individuals. Through this mandate the government is dictating which religious groups and individuals are, and are not, religious enough to have their fundamental freedoms respected. We believe this policy constitutes a gross breach of the Constitution’s religious freedom protections as well as the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

  • 'Us Versus Them': Abortion and the Rhetoric of the New Right1
    Retrospectives | 2 Spring 2013 ! ‘Us versus Them’: Abortion and the Rhetoric of the New Right1 Will Riddington* This paper analyses America's anti-abortion movement from a rhetorical perspective. It examines the rhetorical tactics used by conservative elites to galvanise the movement and traces their effect on the movement's response to anti-abortion violence in the late 1980s and early 1990. It concludes by arguing that the fusion of populist dichotomies and religious justifications had an ultimately negative effect on the movement, despite initial successes. It engages with a number of historiographical debates surrounding the emergence of the New Right and its place in the wider American political tradition. By analysing the anti-abortion movement, its motivations and its actions, this paper will argue that although the movement invoked a number of long-standing conservative themes, its invocation of populism relied on new rhetorical devices whose resonance derived from opposition to sixties liberalism. Historiographical debate also revolves around the relationship between New Right activists and the Republican party, some arguing that conservative grassroots activism dragged the GOP to the right, others that social issues were manipulated by Republican elites for electoral gain. It will argue that, at least in the case of the anti-abortion movement, the fundamentalist and evangelical Christians who joined the fray in the late 1970s !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 This work was supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council [grant number AH/K502959/1]. * Will Riddington is a first-year doctoral student at the University of Cambridge. 86 Retrospectives | 2 Spring 2013 ! did so at the urging of the New Right and their pastors, rather than as part of a spontaneous grassroots uprising.

  • EUTHANASIA and ASSISTED SUICIDE in the UNITED STATES Recent Developments Undermine the Sanctity of Life Ethic
    EUTHANASIA AND ASSISTED SUICIDE IN THE UNITED STATES Recent Developments Undermine the Sanctity of Life Ethic Euthanasia and physician assisted suicide (PAS) are current problems in the United States. In a non‐ random sample of 190 health care professionals from the Midwest and West coast, 77% of whom were affiliated with long‐term care facilities, the authors found that 21% approved of active euthanasia, and 20% had taken direct action to shorten or end a patient’s life.1 A national sample survey of 355 oncologists (cancer doctors) found that 10.7% admitted to having participated in active euthanasia or physician‐assisted suicide.2 In 2014, a poll of 21,531 physicians in Europe and the U.S. asked, “Should physician‐assisted suicide be allowed?” Fifty‐four percent of the U.S. physicians said yes, with only 31% saying no.3 As a result of the pivotal Nancy Cruzan case, withdrawal of food and hydration tube‐feeding, causing the patient to die of starvation and dehydration in 3 to 21 days, is legal in all 50 states. Cruzan was a car accident victim, who, although in a coma, was not terminally ill, and did not require a respirator or dialysis. In May 1987, her parents sued the hospital to remove food and fluids. The case eventually went to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled that tube feeding was a medical “treatment” and therefore could be withdrawn at the patient’s or guardian’s request.3 But feeding a living individual is more correctly considered necessary care, like providing warmth and cleanliness, and not medical treatment.
