  • 6 CASE TWO: Reversals of Body-Law in Norway: Birth Control and Abortion
    6 CASE TWO: Reversals of Body-Law in Norway: Birth Control and Abortion 6.1 Introduction: Same Issues, Different Direction, Different Result Both the United States and Norway underwent social movements that advocated for the right to birth control and to have an abortion within certain parameters; but those paths took different forms and eventually led to significant differences. Effectively, the Storting became the arena in which the debate on these measures took place in Norway. In America, reformers worked at both the state and federal levels within their individual state legislatures, all the while attempting various arguments at the Supreme Court level. In contrast to the American case law resulting from the facts in Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479 (1965), the Norwegian Storting had, at various times, passed laws on birth control and abortion from the late 1950s to 1978, in which accommodations on the issues had been reached and legally formalized within that body. But in 1978, the new Norwegian law was the result of a legislative consensus which itself was based on a larger socio-political upheaval. Norwegian women had tried for as long as their country had existed to extract the same reproductive rights as their American counterparts had also fought for, working consistently but also unsuc- cessfully on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. At the beginning of the Storting session in 1978, members of the Norwegian Stort- ing who might have happened to read Aftenposten, could have read about protests by both the Christian-based Folkesaksjon (People’s Action Against Abortion, FASA) and the Feminist Movement in Oslo and throughout Norway.914 Segments of the national Lutheran Church (Den Norske Kirke, DNK) in Norway became the leading resisters to social change especially change with regard to the role of women in society and to any changes in sexual norms.

As host and organiser, we sincerely hope you will enjoy your stay and the Congress’ scientific, social and cultural programme. When the Norwegian SIDS Society decided to launch our candidacy for the 10th ESPID Congress, our main motivation was to facilitate contact between the different groups and people involved in work aimed at preventing infant death. We are all trying to solve the same puzzle. The sharing of knowledge and experiences is vital if we are to progress and reach our common goals. If all of us – researchers, health profes- sionals and parents – join forces, our chance of solving the puzzle is more likely. International meetings are important for the much-needed exchange of experiences and knowledge. To host and organise a congress of this magnitude is demanding on people and resources.

  • A Study of Two Opposing Social Movements in the Norwegian Abortion Struggle 1970-1981
    SISTERHOOD VS CONGREGATION A study of two opposing social movements in the Norwegian abortion struggle 1970-1981 Jonas Bertelsen Enge Master Thesis in Contemporary History University of Oslo May 10 2018 I SISTERHOOD VS CONGREGATION A study of two social movements in the Norwegian abortion struggle 1970-1981 II Copyright Jonas Bertelsen Enge 2018 Sisterhood vs Congregation Jonas Bertelsen Enge http://www.duo.uio.no Print: Webergs Printshop III SUMMARY This master thesis is an analysis of the Norwegian abortion struggle from the activists’ perspective. The collective mobilizations, arguments and strategies are examined through theories of social movements. It sets out as an examination on how historians have narrated this national event and attempts to bring a divided history back together. The women’s movement was able to push the demand for self-determined abortion into the national agenda and, through mobilizations in alliance with the socialist parties and medical activists, achieved self-determined abortion in 1978. On the other side, a Popular Action against Self- determined Abortion and opponents within the Church and the medical profession, in defence of the unborn child, were central in resisting a new abortion law in 1974 and influencing abortion laws in 1975 and 1978. This thesis attempts to critically bring the origins and actions of the two movements together and see how the activists organized themselves, how they networked and their repertoires of protests. The story highlights interrelations and dynamics between the two movements in the period from 1974-1979 before ending with the transformation of abortion opposition in the early 1980s IV ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It has been a pleasure and a privilege to write this historical thesis.

    Original Article Oxygen for Newborns: How Much is Too Much? Ola Didrik Saugstad, MD, PhD World Health Organization, the estimated global burden of birth asphyxia is between 4 and 9 million newborns out of 130 million births. It is estimated that the number of infants with asphyxia- related neurologic disability is around 1 million, and the number International guidelines for newborn resuscitation recommend the use of of neonatal deaths due to birth asphyxia is also in the range of 100% oxygen. However, high concentrations of oxygen after asphyxiation 1 million.4 In addition, there are approximately 1.6 million activate reactive oxygen species that may contribute to a number of intrapartum stillbirths and many of them are related to morbidities. Animal models have been useful in describing their intrauterine asphyxia. mechanisms, but only large-scale clinical trials can provide evidence that In 1999, an advisory statement from the Pediatric Working may be used to alter clinical practice. It has been demonstrated that Group of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation neonates recover faster when resuscitated with room air as opposed to pure said that 100% oxygen should be used for newborn resuscitation.5 oxygen and neonatal mortality rates are improved. Increases in saturation This statement is, in my opinion, outdated and no longer accurate. are equal with oxygen and room air resuscitation. Studies of normal oxygen There is a building body of evidence that suggests that room air is saturation immediately after birth suggest that clinicians may unnecessarily sufficient for neonatal resuscitation and that the use of pure be rushing to high saturations.
