Fresno City Councilman Garry Bredefeld announced the plan Tuesday, and the council will vote Thursday on authorizing the memorial’s placement on city property. “I’ve spent more than half my life seeing every day the sacrifice veterans made on our behalf and on behalf of our nation,” said Bredefeld, a psychologist who treats veterans. “It is time for us to recognize the 277 Fresno veterans who gave their lives so we can live in free- dom. … With this memorial, we will honor the courage, ser- vice, and ultimate sacrifice, now and for generations to come.” Total Cost Estimated at $130,000 The monument is estimated to cost $70,000.

    THE CRIMINALIZATION OF PREGNANCY: RIGHTS, DISCRETION, AND THE LAW by GRACE ELIZABETH HOWARD A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Political Science Written under the direction of Cynthia R. Daniels And approved by ________________________________________ ________________________________________ ________________________________________ ________________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey OCTOBER, 2017 ©2017 Grace Elizabeth Howard ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Criminalization of Pregnancy: Rights, Discretion, and the Law By GRACE ELIZABETH HOWARD Dissertation Director: Cynthia R. Daniels In my dissertation I conduct an inquiry into the legal phenomenon of pregnancy-specific crime. I discuss my theory of pregnancy exceptionalism in US jurisprudence, explore whether these laws are applied evenly in the population, and if not, why, and ultimately ask how, when, and if the law matters in practice. In order to answer these questions, I analyze pregnancy related US Supreme Court opinions to understand the court’s interpretation of the constitution as it relates to pregnant or potentially pregnant women. Next, I conduct a systematic analysis of state bills and statutes creating pregnancy-specific crimes, with an emphasis on the prosecution of pregnant women for crimes against the fetuses they gestate. Then, I examine arrest cases of pregnant women for crimes against their fetuses in the three states where such crimes have been officially codified: South Carolina, Alabama, and Tennessee. Next, I present my analysis of interviews with prosecutors involved in developing these punitive policies, in order to understand their motivations for doing so.

Bringing my work to fruition would not have been possible without the support of mentors, colleagues, friends, and loved ones. It would also not have been possible without interviewees who took the time to share their insights with me. To all of them, I am indebted and express my gratitude. As part of my work and PhD program at the University of Texas at Austin I got to interact with inspiring people who taught me a great deal. First, I would like to thank my dissertation adviser, Stephen Reese, for his mentorship. Dr. Reese taught me how to think conceptually by encouraging me to explicate concepts and to identify connections between them. By so doing, he made it possible for me to offer theoretical advancement.

  • The Criminalization of Motherhood and the New Maternalism
    A Velvet Hammer: The Criminalization of Motherhood and the New Maternalism Eliza Duggan* In 2014, Tennessee became the first state to criminalize the use of narcotics during pregnancy. While women have been prosecuted for the outcomes of their pregnancies and for the use of drugs during their pregnancies in the past decades, Tennessee is the first state to explicitly authorize prosecutors to bring criminal charges against pregnant women who use drugs. This Note suggests that this new maternal crime is reflective of a social and political paradigm called “maternalism,” which reinforces the idea that women are meant to be mothers and to perform motherhood in a particular fashion. This concept has developed from the “old maternalism” of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to the “new maternalism” of the late twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The new maternalism is developing in a modern world, finding its voice through both liberal, mother-centric organizations like MomsRising and conservative individuals like Sarah Palin and her “mama grizzlies.” While new maternalism is developing in a modern context, it still upholds motherhood as the prime directive of women. This Note first tracks the history of policing pregnant women, with an eye for the effects this history has had on women of color and poor women in particular. Next, it describes the progression of maternalism and how it has shaped American politics and culture. Finally, it proposes that the new law in Tennessee criminalizing the use of drugs during pregnancy is reflective of new maternalism. Through the criminalization and policing of pregnant women’s behavior, women’s reproductive freedoms become increasingly constricted.

From the initial guidance of Professor Musheno and Christina Carbone to the astute guidance of my advisor, Professor Perry, I am forever thankful. My family, too, has supported me mentally and even intellectually. To my Aunt Diane, I owe you so much for your direction and insight.

  • 2019 Pre-Elections Brief No. 2
    Inter-Agency Task Force on Israeli Arab Issues 2019 Pre-Elections Brief No. 2 Elections Discourse on Arab Political Participation April 5, 2019 The legitimacy of Arab participation in Israeli politics has emerged as a wedge issue in this election cycle, reflected in public discourse and surveys, decisions of the Central Election Committee and Supreme Court, and in campaign slogans and statements. Early on, the potential for political partnership between Arab and Jewish parties was effectively framed as a left/right-wing choice, with most mainstream Jewish-led lists choosing to express an explicit commitment to resist or even block such partnership. Anti-Arab sentiment has been part of previous national election campaigns, including Benjamin Netanyahu's slogan in 1999 that he was "good for the Jews;" Yisrael Beitenu Chair Avigdor Lieberman's slogan in 2009, "No Citizenship Without Loyalty;" and, most famously, Netanyahu's 2015 election-day statement that "the Arabs are flocking to the polls" in a last- minute effort to spur his supporters to vote. However, analysts and activists claim that this time around it appeared much earlier in the process, much more vocally and with more explicit backing of mainstream leaders and parties. Along with overt campaigning along Jewish/Arab lines, this issue is seen as woven through a number of aspects of this elections cycle, including PM Netanyahu and the Likud Party's support for the pairing of Otzma Yehudit, the extreme right-wing openly anti-Arab party, with Habayit Hayehudi; extreme and violent political ads broadcast on television; and Prime Minister Netanyahu’s Facebook statement that “Israel is not a country of all its citizens” according to the Nation-State Law in response to media personality Rotem Sela.
