The Center for Women Policy Studies has issued a new call for papers on Reproductive Laws for the Twenty First Century.
The Center seeks legal and policy analyses, research reports, and commentary on current and future threats to women’s reproductive rights, justice, and health — with particular emphasis on their impact on women of color, low income women, and women with disabilities – both in the USA and globally.
The Center for Women Policy Studies in 1989 launched The Law and Pregnancy Program: Implementing Policies for Women’s Reproductive Rights and Health as the “second stage” of the its unprecedented Project on Reproductive Laws for the 1990s at the Women’s Rights Litigation Clinic and the Institute for Research on Women at Rutgers University.
The Project’s papers defined the “second generation” of complex reproductive rights issues and new assaults on the right to privacy and bodily integrity as guaranteed by Roe v. Wade.
REPRODUCTIVE LAWS FOR THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY Papers could address the current and future status of the issues defined in Reproductive Laws for the 1990s: A Briefing Handbook, 1998 (edited by Sherrill Cohen and Nadine Taub, Humana Press):
