  • Planned Parenthood CEO at Georgetown Said Dismissive of Pro-Life
    Planned Parenthood CEO at Georgetown said dismissive of pro- life views By Kurt Jensen Catholic News Service WASHINGTON – The controversy over the appearance by the head of Planned Parenthood at Jesuit-run Georgetown University April 20 became the background to a standing ovation. Cecile Richards was greeted warmly by more than 400 students, most of them women, at Lohrfink Auditorium. She was introduced by Helen Brosnan, a senior and president of the Georgetown Lecture Fund. Student Amber Athey, a member of Georgetown Right to Life, tweeted, “According to head of GU lecture fund, hosting an abortion provider is ‘in the spirit of a Jesuit university.'” The student-run Georgetown Lecture Fund has examined other hot topics this spring including sponsoring a talk via Skype from Russia by national-security whistleblower Edward Snowden and holding a panel discussion on the Catholic Church’s response to sexual abuse with Dominican Father Thomas Doyle, a canon lawyer, an advocate for abuse victims and a harsh critic of the U.S. church, and Washington lawyer Robert Bennett, who helped prepare a 2004 report on abuse prevention for the U.S. bishops. Richards’ one-hour appearance, billed as “a conversation,” earlier had been strongly criticized by Cardinal Donald W. Wuerl of Washington, who wrote that “students, faculty, and the community at large are all impoverished, not enriched, when the institution’s Catholic identity is diluted or called into question by seemingly approving of ideas that are contrary to moral truth.” The event ran without incident, with only a small protest outside the auditorium by Georgetown Right to Life, a protest outside the campus by the Pennsylvania-based American Society for Tradition, Family and Property, and with heavy security, including District of Columbia police officers to supplement campus officers.

FLEXIBLE FEMINISM AND REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE: AN ESSAY IN HONOR OF ANN SCALES LYNNE HENDERSONt ABSTRACT Professor Ann Scales began her distinguished career by taking fem- inism and reproductive justice seriously. She became a leading feminist voice and influence on a number of topics. In later years, she returned to concerns about reproductive justice by presciently emphasizing the need to preserve women's access to abortions. This Essay discusses Professor Scales's concerns and feminist method and then turns to reproductive justice. The Essay notes that, with Scales, a right to abortion is foundational for reproductive justice. The Essay then examines the increasing narrowing of access to abortion through law. The Essay next examines a current crisis over access to contraception, including arguments that some contraceptives are aborti- facients and therefore should not be available and the debate over insur- ance coverage for contraception under the Affordable Care Act.

  • THE PHILOSOPHY of STEVEN SODERBERGH the Philosophy of Popular Culture
    THE PHILOSOPHY OF STEVEN SODERBERGH The Philosophy of Popular Culture Th e books published in the Philosophy of Popular Culture series will illuminate and explore philosophical themes and ideas that occur in popular culture. Th e goal of this series is to demonstrate how philosophical inquiry has been reinvigorated by increased scholarly interest in the intersection of popular culture and philosophy, as well as to explore through philosophical analysis beloved modes of entertainment, such as movies, TV shows, and music. Philosophical concepts will be made accessible to the general reader through examples in popular culture. Th is series seeks to publish both established and emerging scholars who will engage a major area of popular culture for philosophical interpretation and examine the philosophical underpinnings of its themes. Eschewing ephemeral trends of philosophical and cultural theory, authors will establish and elaborate on connections between traditional philosophical ideas from important thinkers and the ever-expanding world of popular culture.

  • A War on Which Women?: Constructing Women’S Interests in the Contraception Mandate Rulemaking
    A War on Which Women?: Constructing Women’s Interests in the Contraception Mandate Rulemaking Ashley English University of Minnesota Western Political Science Association Annual Conference Las Vegas, NV April 4, 2015 Abstract. This paper examines how women and their advocates constructed “women’s political interests” from the competing claims they advanced when they submitted comments during the 2012-2013 rulemaking process that implemented the contraception mandate. It uses automated text search coding, qualitative coding, and latent dirichlet allocation (LDA) analyses of 1,963 comments that interested organizations (including women’s organizations) and individual women submitted to determine how women and their advocates referred to women in their comments and whether women’s organizations provided a form of compensatory representation that adequately represented the concerns of American women more broadly. In general, I find that women and their advocates most often presented women’s interests in broad, universal terms because those terms allowed them to demonstrate they had a broad base of support when majoritarian and electoral considerations entered into the rulemaking process. Similarly, references to particular subgroups of women were relatively rare, with the most common references to subsets of women focusing on women’s ages and roles within the traditional family. Lastly, women’s organizations were more likely than other organizations and individual women to mention women and particular subsets of women, indicating that they do serve as compensatory representatives for women. However, the quality of that representation is up for debate since women’s organizations also often downplayed the concerns of women outside of the traditional family, women of color, and low-income women as they attempted to broaden women’s access to contraception.

    Taking Control The Ongoing Battle to Preserve the Birth Control Benefit in the Affordable Care Act Copyright © 2013 by Planned Parenthood Federation of America. All Rights Reserved. Table of Contents Executive Summary 4 Introduction 7 A Watershed for Women’s Health 10 Five Decades of Progress 26 Moving Forward, Fighting Back 34 References 36 Executive Summary Executive Summary Executive Summary Birth control has had such a dramatic impact on women and families in this country that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) named it one of the top 10 public health achievements of the past centu- ry. Now, with implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), America is poised to experience the single biggest advancement in women’s health in a generation, one that is already making a huge difference in the lives of women across the country. The new law provides insurance coverage to more women including birth control and well-woman visits with no co-pay for the first time, increases access to reproductive health care, and eases the disproportionate health care burdens on women, who still earn less than men and often face higher health care costs. But there are still some in this country — a small but vocal minority of extremists in Congress and in many states — who are doing everything they can to reduce the availability of birth control. Planned Parenthood and its allies, including key members of Congress, have fought long and hard over the past three years to keep the women’s health benefit on track — but there is still a very real danger of its being derailed through a multitude of legal attacks, as well as through ongoing efforts by lawmak- ers to limit the scope of the ACA as it affects women and their families.

Leading up to the election, social conservatives launched a range of aggressive attacks on women's rights. The Governor of Virginia announced his support for mandatory transvaginal ultrasounds for women seeking abortions. l Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh called law student Sandra Fluke a "slut" and a "prostitute" for testifying before Congress in support of contraception coverage.2 A United States congressman running for the Senate stated that women could not get pregnant from "legitimate rape.',s These were just a smattering of the volleys in the so-called War on Women; which became a central conflict of the 2012 campaign season.4 Combat t.
