Andersen University of Vermont, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://www.repository.law.indiana.edu/ijlse Part of the Law Commons Publication Citation Ellen Ann Andersen, Transformative Events in the LGBTQ Rights Movement, 5 Ind. J.L. & Soc. Equality 441 (2017). This Article is brought to you for free and open access by the Law School Journals at Digital Repository @ Maurer Law. It has been accepted for inclusion in Indiana Journal of Law and Social Equality by an authorized editor of Digital Repository @ Maurer Law. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Transformative Events in the LGBTQ Rights Movement Ellen Ann Andersen* ABSTRACT Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 Supreme Court case holding that same-sex couples had a constitutional right to marry under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, was widely hailed in the media as a turning point for the LGBTQ rights movement. In this article, I contemplate the meaning of turning points. Social movement scholars have shown that specific events can, on rare occasion, alter the subsequent trajectory of a social movement. Such events have been termed ‘transformative events.’ I ask whether judicial decisions have the capacity to be transformative events and, if so, under what circumstances. I begin by developing a set of criteria for identifying a transformative event which I then apply to a handful of judicial decisions that, like Obergefell, have been described widely as turning points and/or watersheds in the struggle for LGBTQ rights.

    NARAL PRO-CHOICE AMERICA The United States ACCESS FACT: Currently, there are no states that provide total access Restricted Access The state of reproductive healthcare access in the United States is alarming. Due to the dearth of access in many regions, the nationwide status is “restricted access.” The meter’s colors represent the status of reproductive healthcare access in each state: a spectrum from bright red for “severely restricted access” to dark purple representing “total access.” As shown below, a handful of states have made great strides in expanding and protecting access to reproductive healthcare, achieving the status of “strongly protected access.” Yet, no state has achieved “total access” at this time. The majority of the states are in red, which should serve as a warning about the lack of reproductive healthcare access in much of the nation. An overview of the states that fall within each access category is below, and more detailed information about each state can be found in the state profiles. Colorado Minnesota Alaska Nevada Iowa New Hampshire Delaware New Jersey Massachusetts Rhode Island Maryland New Mexico SOME PROTECTED ACCESS ACCESS Florida California Montana Kansas STRONGLY Connecticut New York RESTRICTED Wyoming ACCESS PROTECTED Hawaii Oregon ACCESS Illinois Vermont Maine Washington SEVERELY TOTAL RESTRICTED ACCESS Alabama North Dakota ACCESS None Arizona Ohio Arkansas Oklahoma Georgia Pennsylvania Idaho South Carolina Indiana South Dakota Reproductive Healthcare Kentucky Tennessee Access Meter Louisiana Texas Michigan

  • 20-Week Abortion Bans
    ABORTION BANS: THE FACTS Reproductive access for women in the United States has remained a contentious battleground since the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Roe v. Wade in 1972. From TRAP Laws to continued attempts to defund clinics such as Planned Parenthood, anti-choice legislators have pulled out all the stops to ensure women do not have access to abortion, birth control, and other family planning services. In the age of Trump these attacks have hit an all-time high through the implementation and passing of state-level abortion bans that attempt to bypass Roe. These bans are unconstitutional, have statistically been proven to increase maternal mortality rates, and have dangerous implications on the health of women. WHAT ARE ABORTION BANS? Abortion Bans are laws that seek to criminalize the legal obtainment of an abortion during a certain--and often times arbitrary--point in a woman's pregnancy. These bans have presented themselves at 6-weeks, 16-weeks, and 20-weeks. Most legal experts cite these bans, and attempts to pass these bans, as unconstitutional. Attempts to restrict abortion access undermine Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court case that established the constitutional right to abortion. Despite their fundamental contradiction to Roe, legislators have continued to introduce and pass abortion bans on a state level, to 1) challenge the federal statue set by Roe and 2) continue to revoke access to reproductive services for women across the country. The most prevalent abortion ban model is the 20-week “Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act”. This bill posits that a fetus can feel pain at 20-weeks and is therefore a viable.

  • The War Against Plastic Legislation PLASTIC WASTE MANAGMENT: 1960-2017
    1 A landfill in California Credit: Les Stone 1.1. US: The war against plastic legislation PLASTIC WASTE MANAGMENT: 1960-2017 40,000,000 The US is facing a huge plastic pollution crisis, which was entirely predictable. Over the last few decades, the plastics indus- try has massively increased the supply of single-use plastics, with consumer-goods companies more than willing to package their beverages, cereals, snacks, cosmetics and other products using these cheap materials. At the same time, the industry 30,000,000 has continuously promoted recycling as the solution to dealing with all this extra waste, funding efforts through seemingly pro-environment non-profits to lay the blame and responsibility for ‘litter’ on consumers and municipalities. This focus on recycling has acted a smokescreen, behind which the industry has opposed mandatory legislation – from bottle bills to 20,000,000 plastic-bag bans. TONS 1.1.1. A global leader in garbage 10,000,000 The US generates three times more garbage than the global average, and recycles far less of it than other high-income coun- tries.2 It represents just 4% of the world’s population but produces 12% of global municipal solid waste – 773kg per capita – of which 106.2kg (234lb) is plastic waste.3 In comparison, China and India make up more than 36% of the world’s population 0 and generate 27% of its waste.4 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2005 2010 2015 2016 2017 YEAR Nearly 1 million workers are employed in the US plastic supply chain, which is a sector worth over $400 billion annually, RECYCLED COMPOSTED COMBUSTION WITH ENERGY RECOVERY LANDFILLED according to industry data.5 According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in 2017 the US produced over 35 million tonnes of plastic, yet fewer than 3 million tonnes were recycled.6 As Figure 4.1 shows, plastic production has grown exponentially since the 1960s, less than 10% of which has been recycled; most of it has ended up in landfills or incinerated.
