  • Adoption As a Reproductive Justice Issue Kimberly Mckee
    Adoption as a Reproductive Justice Issue Kimberly McKee Adoption & Culture, Volume 6, Issue 1, 2018, pp. 74-93 (Article) Published by The Ohio State University Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/ado.2018.0001 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/782193/summary [ This content has been declared free to read by the pubisher during the COVID-19 pandemic. ] Adoption as a Reproductive Justice Issue KIMBERLY McKEE ABSTRACT: Centering adoption within a reproductive justice lens, this essay elucidates the complexities of adoption as a market and method of fami- ly disintegration and creation. This approach centers the labor of women of color in contemporary adoption and highlights adoption’s privileging of white, American adoptive parents’ reproductive destinies. KEYWORDS: reproductive justice, birth mothers, reproductive labor ARISING FROM women-of-color activism in the 1990s, reproductive justice ad- dresses the ways women of color and Indigenous women routinely are denied the rights of bodily autonomy given to white women.1 Examining women’s holistic lives and the multidimensional forces affecting women’s bodily autonomy (Ross and Solinger; SisterSong), reproductive justice underscores how “reproductive op- pression is a result of the intersections of multiple oppressions and is inherently connected to the struggle for social justice and human rights” (Asian). The deploy- ment of an intersectional lens accounts for the interconnected nature of seemingly disparate issues—“forced sterilization, environmental toxins in breast milk, man- datory drug testing of women on public assistance, and the lack of social support for poor women to have and raise the number of children they want” (Thomsen 149).

    Part I: Introduction “Perhaps the sentiments contained in the following pages are not yet sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favor; a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason.” -Thomas Paine, Common Sense (1776) “For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst and provide for it.” -Patrick Henry (1776) “I am aware that many object to the severity of my language; but is there not cause for severity? I will be as harsh as truth. On this subject I do not wish to think, or speak, or write, with moderation. No! No! Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen -- but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present. The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal, and to hasten the resurrection of the dead.” -William Lloyd Garrison, The Liberator (1831) “Gas is running low . .” -Amelia Earhart (July 2, 1937) 1 2 Dear Reader, Civilization as we know it is coming to an end soon.

  • THE Plot AGAINST Pensions
    THE Plot AGAINST Pensions The Pew-Arnold campaign to undermine America’s retirement security – and leave taxpayers with the bill BY DAVID SIROTA F O R OurFuture.org F O R OurFuture.org 1825 K Street NW l Suite 400 l Washington DC 20006 l (202) 955-5665 Executive Summary This report evaluates both the general state of the national debate over pensions and the specific effects of the partnership between the Pew Charitable Trusts’ Public Sector Retirement Systems Project and the Laura and John Arnold Foundation. The following is a summary of the report’s findings: Finding: Conservative activists are manufacturing the perception of a public pension crisis in order to both slash modest retiree benefits and preserve expensive corporate subsidies and tax breaks. n States and cities have for years been failing to fully fund their annual pension obligations. They have used funds that were supposed to go to pensions to instead finance expensive tax cuts and corporate subsidies. That has helped create a real but manageable pension shortfall. Yet, instead of citing such a shortfall as reason to end expensive tax cuts and subsidies, conservative activists and lawmakers are citing it as a reason to slash retiree benefits. Finding: The amount states and cities spend on corporate subsidies and so-called tax expenditures is far more than the pension shortfalls they face. Yet, conservative activists and lawmakers are citing the pension shortfalls and not the subsidies as the cause of budget squeezes. They are then claiming that cutting retiree benefits is the solution rather than simply rolling back the SHORTFALL IN PERSPECTIVE more expensive tax breaks and subsidies.

I frame the discussion by chronicling and critically assessing the body of work highlighting multiple explanations for the increased infection rates among black women, revealing the relative dearth of work that focuses on the everyday lives of women who are currently living with the disease. To begin to address this lacuna, I consider how researchers might tease out the various ways in which HIV-infected black women formulate, sustain, and interweave their economic survival strategies and intimate relationships.

  • Flouting the Establishment
    Flouting The Establishment February 18, 2020 Category: Domestic Politics Download as PDF If those who are not ideologically-committed to the ultra-right-wing want a desirable outcome in the 2020 presidential election, it is important they understand why NON-ultra-right-wing endeavors (encompassing Progressives and corporatist Democrats alike) imploded four years earlier. It was not because the Democratic candidate was too far to the “Left”. And it certainly was not because she was too populist…let alone too Progressive. It was because Hillary Clinton–the only alternative to Donald Trump–was off- putting to many swing voters. There were two main reasons for this: She countenanced some of the daft pieties of political correct-ness, which many swing-voters found off-putting. As a corporatist Democrat, she was effectively the vicar of the very thing that on-the-fence voters were so set against: the “Establishment”. There were, of course, a confluence of factors that led to the disastrous outcome in 2016–among them: the glaring inauthenticity of Trump’s adversary (not to mention the DNC’s now-exposed machinations to prevent Bernie Sanders from receiving the Democratic nomination). {1} As I hope to show here, these two factors explain Clinton’s loss. Indeed, they represented things for which the rank and file had–and continues to have–contempt; and for very good reason. (The fact that Clinton ran what Barack Obama described as a “scripted, soul-less campaign” didn’t help either.) There are effectual and ineffectual ways to promote Progressive ideals; and the 2016 election illustrated–more than anything else–what NOT to do.
