Drawing upon legal and medical definitions, the abortion issue is reframed as the right of a woman to consent to what will be done to her body by the fetus rather than her right merely to choose what to do with her own body. This argument shifts abortion rights from the right to decisional autonomy established in Roe to the right to bodily integrity affirmed by samaritan case law. As a result, we see why women who are pregnant without their consent, in effect, are captive samaritans, a status unsubstantiated by either legislative statutes or legal precedents. Recasting abortion as a response to nonconsensual pregnancy opens new grounds guaranteeing women's reproductive rights.","PeriodicalId":83535,"journal":{"name":"Women & politics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1300/J014V13N03_03","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66678369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Instead of using the emerging gender-based theoretical framework to explain women's impoverishment, however, a core of mainstream researchers relied on a familiar male-centered \"culture of poverty\" analysis. Rather than simply grafting women onto the extant paradigm, these scholars instead replaced male with female pathologies as central to their poverty analysis. The resulting revised paradigm, which I call the culture of single motherhood, marks a turning point in poverty scholarship in the U.S. To the belief that men were the primary victims and perpetrators of impoverishment has been added the idea that women themselves could be the cause of their own, even men's, poverty. The central thesis of this paper is that even in themost recent theorizing about poverty and its allevation we are again faced with the culture of poverty controversy albeit updated...","PeriodicalId":83535,"journal":{"name":"Women & politics","volume":"14 1","pages":"65-97"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59913728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a metaphor of empire, the approaching Columbian Quincentenary serves as the symbolic vehicle to thread together postcolonial discourse, feminist theory in the flesh, and identity politics. The explosion of issues of diversity, pluralism and anti-racism in social theory-particularly feminist theory and politics- has engendered a passionate debate over identity and experience in the construction of oppositional \"subjects.\" Against the hegemonic cultures-whether Euro-American or mainstream white feminist-activists of color are creating counter representations of \"self\" and theories of identity politics. The argument developed here celebrates such decolonization moments in feminism but critiques certain implications of identity politics.

It was expected that upgrading the law would accomplish essentially two goals: deter prostitution by giving the police incentive to arrest patrons, and end the disparity that existed between the prositution and patronizing statutes, as prostitution had been a misdemeanor offense since 1969. These goals were not accomplished. An analysis of prostitution arrest information from Buffalo, New york, for the years 1977 through 1980, shows that the Buffalo city police arrest practices did not change despite the 1978 reform of the prostitution statute. In particular, women continued to be singled out for prostitution arrests more often than men. In addition, despite constitutional prohibition of gender based discrimination, New York State courts have not been persuaded to find unconstitutional the differential enforcement practices of the prostitution statute.

Researchers have also investigated disparity in the treatment of men and women within the legal system, although most attention has been focused on criminal judicial processes. Non-criminal legal proceedings constitute an institution in which possible disparity in both the treatment and attitudes of women and men participants has not been fully analyzed.

This article examines six issues: (1) the purpose of neonatal testing; (2) the selection of infants for testing; (3) the requirement for parental consent; (4) the concept of prenatal harm; (5) the standard of conduct required of a pregnant woman; and (6) the practical application of such a standard in designing a testing policy. It is argued that maternal consent does not need to be required for testing provided that: (1) adequate drug treatment services are available for the mother and infant; and (2) test results are excluded from use in legal proceedings. If intervention, therapy and research (rather than punishment) guides a neonatal testing policy, the sporadic testing of an infant's urine for the presence of illicit substances clearly falls short of the desired goals.","PeriodicalId":83535,"journal":{"name":"Women & politics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1300/J014V13N03_06","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66678442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
