ON PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI ERIC ALAN ISAACSON Counsel of Record LAW OFFICE OF ERIC ALAN ISAACSON 6580 Avenida Mirola La Jolla, California 92037 (858) 263-9581 [email protected] DAN HYNES LIBERTY LEGAL SERVICES PLLC 212 Coolidge Avenue Manchester, New Hampshire 03101 (603) 583-4444 Counsel for Petitioners i QUESTIONS PRESENTED Three women active in the Free the Nipple Movement were convicted of violating a Laconia, N.H. Ordinance prohibiting public exposure of “the female breast with less than a fully opaque covering of any part of the nipple.” Laconia, N.H., Code of Ordinances ch. 180, art. I, §§180-2(3), 180-4. The Supreme Court of New Hampshire affirmed their convictions in a published opinion rejecting state and federal Equal Protection Clause defenses. Contrary to federal appellate decisions, New Hampshire’s high court held an ordinance punishing only females for exposure of their areolas does not classify on the basis of gender. Alternatively, New Hampshire’s high court held the Ordinance would survive intermediate scrutiny anyway—a holding directly at odds with a recent Tenth Circuit decision, which in turn conflicts with decisions of the Seventh and Eighth Circuits. The questions presented are: 1. Does an ordinance expressly punishing only women, but not men, for identical conduct—being topless in public—classify on the basis of gender? 2.

  • Honour Killing in Sindh Men's and Women's Divergent Accounts
    Honour Killing in Sindh Men's and Women's Divergent Accounts Shahnaz Begum Laghari PhD University of York Women’s Studies March 2016 Abstract The aim of this project is to investigate the phenomenon of honour-related violence, the most extreme form of which is honour killing. The research was conducted in Sindh (one of the four provinces of Pakistan). The main research question is, ‘Are these killings for honour?’ This study was inspired by a need to investigate whether the practice of honour killing in Sindh is still guided by the norm of honour or whether other elements have come to the fore. It is comprised of the experiences of those involved in honour killings through informal, semi- structured, open-ended, in-depth interviews, conducted under the framework of the qualitative method. The aim of my thesis is to apply a feminist perspective in interpreting the data to explore the tradition of honour killing and to let the versions of the affected people be heard. In my research, the women who are accused as karis, having very little redress, are uncertain about their lives; they speak and reveal the motives behind the allegations and killings in the name of honour. The male killers, whom I met inside and outside the jails, justify their act of killing in the name of honour, culture, tradition and religion. Drawing upon interviews with thirteen women and thirteen men, I explore and interpret the data to reveal their childhood, educational, financial and social conditions and the impacts of these on their lives, thoughts and actions.

These are the famous five of Des perate Housewives, a primetime TV show. Get an insight into these popular charac ters with these Desperate Housewives quotes. Susan Yeah, well, my heart wants to hurt you, but I'm able to control myself! How would you feel if I used your child support payments for plastic surgery? Every time we went out for pizza you could have said, "Hey, I once killed a man. " Okay, yes I am closer to your father than I have been in the past, the bitter ha tred has now settled to a respectful disgust. Lynette Please hear me out this is important. Today I have a chance to join the human rac e for a few hours there are actual adults waiting for me with margaritas. Loo k, I'm in a dress, I have makeup on. We didn't exactly forget.
