Conte December 2013 © 2013 Jennifer M. Conte: All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Understanding the Work of Pre-abortion Counselors by JENNIFER M. CONTE has been approved for the Department of Counseling and Higher Education and The Patton College of Education by Yegan Pillay Associate Professor of Counseling and Higher Education Renée A. Middleton Dean, The Patton College of Education 3 Abstract CONTE, JENNIFER M., Ph.D., December 2013, Counselor Education Understanding the Work of Pre-abortion Counselors Director of Dissertation: Yegan Pillay This qualitative study examined the experiences of individuals who work in abortion clinics as pre-abortion counselors. Interviewing was the primary method of inquiry. Although information regarding post-abortion distress is documented in the literature, pre-abortion counseling is rarely found in the literature. This study sought to fill a void in the literature by seeking to understand the experience of pre-abortion counselors. The documented experiences shared several themes such as a love for their job, having a non-judgmental attitude, and having a previous interest in reproductive health care. 4 Preface In qualitative methodology, the researcher is the instrument (Patton, 2002). Therefore, it is important to understand the lenses through which I am examining the phenomena of pre-abortion counseling. The vantage point that I offer is influenced by my experiences as a pre-abortion counselor. I have considered myself to be pro-choice ever since I can remember thinking about the topic of abortion.

  • The State of Abortion in Pennsylvania
    The State of Abortion in Source: Flickr – governortomwolf Pennsylvania The official policy of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is to encourage childbirth over abortion. So, why is Planned Parenthood given millions of taxpayer dollars every year? Abortion in Pennsylvania has been on a steady decline; however, top state officials seem to be doing what they can to take our state in the opposition direction. A statistical review of abortion numbers, taxpayer funding of abortion-providing organizations, and campaign contributions to key government officials may explain why. Let’s take a look. Pennsylvania Family Council – pafamily.org 2 Pennsylvania Family Council – pafamily.org Abortion Numbers Declining According to the PA Department of Health, 30,818 babies were aborted in Pennsylvania in 2016, the lowest point ever recorded (even though the total matches the entire population of Williamsport or the entire student body of the University of Pittsburgh). It is a drop of nearly 1,000 from the previous year. Half of those abortions were performed by Planned Parenthood, a self-described political organization that has spent millions in Pennsylvania lobbying and campaigning for elected officials. And in some cases, especially with the help of some of Pennsylvania’s top officials, it appears Planned Parenthood is receiving reciprocal benefits. Consider: Attorney General Josh Shapiro Planned Parenthood was one of Shapiro’s top campaign donors in 2016, with nearly $20,000 directly donated to his campaign.1 His first TV ad touted their endorsement. Leading into the 2016 primary election, Shapiro ran an attack ad against his competitor, Stephen Zappala, alleging his campaign refused to fill out a questionnaire from Planned Parenthood (which he denied as simply a campaign oversight).2 The ad first aired on April 15, 2016.

  • Reflections on Planned Parenthood V. Casey
    Preserving the Core of Roe. Reflections on Planned Parenthoodv. Casey Linda J. Wharton,t Susan Frietsche,tt and Kathryn Kolbertttt ABSTRACT. In Planned Parenthoodof Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey, the Supreme Court backed away from affording women the highest level of constitutional protection for the abortion choice, but nonetheless promised to preserve Roe v. Wade's core objectives by instituting the undue burden standard for measuring the constitutionality of restrictions on abortion. In the years following the Casey decision, states and the federal government have added more and more restrictions on women's access to abortion. This Article asks whether Casey's undue burden standard has meaningfully protected a woman's right to an abortion. The Article begins by describing the undue burden standard's development and application, from pre-Casey decisions to the Casey joint opinion. Part III describes the Supreme Court's clarification and application of the standard in its subsequent abortion decisions. Part IV reviews the ways in which lower courts have implemented the undue burden standard, concluding that, if correctly and fairly applied, the Casey standard can provide meaningful t Associate Professor of Political Science, Richard Stockton College of New Jersey; Lecturer in Law, University of Pennsylvania School of Law (1996-2003); J.D., Rutgers University School of Law- Camden.

How Rights Are Infringed: The Role of Undue Burden Analysis in Constitutional Doctrine by ALAN BROWNSTEIN* Introduction The conventional understanding of fundamental rights in consti- tutional law recognizes three distinct conceptual issues. First, there is the question of whether a right exists. Second, it must be determined whether the right has been infringed. Third, there is the problem of whether any infringement can be justified. Typically, each of these issues has its own frame of reference that requires an independent inquiry. In identifying a right and defining its scope, the inquiry is directed at the nature of (and, perhaps, the mo- tive behind) the actions of the individual that constitute the exercise of the right. Thus, we ask whether a person has the right to distribute leaflets on a street corner' or to ingest peyote during a religious cere- mony.2 Resolving the question of whether particular behavior in- volves the exercise of a right is a complex undertaking involving historical, political, and philosophical analysis.
