The History of Abortion Legislation in the USA - Judicial History and Legislative Response

Various Authors

Summary

The goal of this edition is to help people understand the complexity of the issue, to learn about the long battle that was fought before the revolutionary ruling Roe v. Wade and the slow success of the numerous legislations and regulations passed after this law which led to the most recent controversial ruling.

The legality of abortion in the United States is subject to individual state laws. In 1973, Roe v. Wade made the first abortion case to be taken to the Supreme Court, which had made it federally legal. In 1992, Roe was partially overturned by Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which stated that states cannot place legal restrictions posing an undue burden for "the purpose or effect of placing a substantial obstacle in the path of a woman seeking an abortion of a nonviable fetus." In 2022, both Roe and Casey were overturned, and abortions are now subject to regulations based on state laws once again. Individual states can regulate and limit the use of abortion, some of which already have through the use of "trigger laws", which made abortion illegal within the first and second trimesters when Roe was overturned. Eight states—Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Michigan, Mississippi, Oklahoma, West Virginia and Wisconsin—still have pre-Roe abortion bans in their laws, which may be enforced too.
This reading provides a thorough overview of the federal legalisation regarding the legality of abortion. It presents a judicial history and legislative response of the US federal institutions. In addition this collection is enriched with information which are indispensable part of every abortion debate in the United States.

Summary, Analysis, and Review of Robert Greene's The 48 Laws of Power PLEASE NOTE: This is a key takeaways and analysis of the book and NOT the original book. Start Publishing Notes' Summary, Analysis, and Review of Robert Greene's The 48 Laws of Power includes a summary of the book, review, analysis & key takeaways, and a detailed About the Author section. PREVIEW: The 48 Laws of Power claims to offer readers the secrets to amassing power within the confines of contemporary society. In the book's preface, Robert Greene argues that, at least on the surface, the quest for power has been demonized. From his perspective, however, very little has changed in the time between the royal courts of old and the high-intensity boardrooms of today. According to Greene, the people who amass the most power are those who can crush their enemies while appearing outwardly benevolent. The essence of Greene's perspective on power dynamics can be aptly summarized by President Teddy Roosevelt: Speak softly, and carry a big s

Polywise - A Deeper Dive Into...

Jessica Fern, David Cooley, PhD...

As polyamory continues to make its way into the mainstream, more and more people are exploring consensual nonmonogamy in the hope of experiencing more love, connection, sex, freedom and support. While for many, the move expands personal horizons, for others, the transition can be challenging, leaving them blindsided and overwhelmed. Beyond the initial transition to nonmonogamy, many struggle with the root issues beneath the symptoms of broken agreements, communication challenges, increased fighting and persistent jealousy. Polyamorous psychotherapist Jessica Fern and restorative justice facilitator David Cooley share the insights they have gained through thousands of hours working with clients in consensually nonmonogamous relationships. Using a grounded theory approach, they explore the underlying challenges that nonmonogamous individuals and partners can experience after their first steps, offering practical strategies for transforming them into opportunities for new levels of clarity and intimacy. Polywise provides both the conceptual framework to better understand the shift from monogamy to nonmonogamy and the tools to navigate the next steps.

Summary: Donald Trump V The...

Scott Campbell

NOTE! This book is a summary, part of a Trump series of summaries, and not intended to replace in any way or fashion Michael Schmidt's fine original book.
New York Times journalist Michael Schmidt investigates that rogue of a President, Trump, as he spats with his government. Many in the FBI and House would like to see Trump gone and his thirst for power to fire people who are not loyal to him cut off first.
Schmidt, who won a Pulitzer Prize, takes the biographical perspective for two key players who play significant roles in Trump's affairs: FBI Director James Comey and Senior Legal Counsel Don McGahn.
Trump's style of running the White House was not only unorthodox among an initial backdrop of circus-level chaos and incompetence but often threatening and abusive.
A dossier based on rumor and speculation, and paid for by the DNC and Hillary Clinton would give rise to accusations of Russian collusion before Trump could even be inaugurated. Trump had only spent one day in Moscow but stood accused of having time to watch Russian prostitutes urinate on a bed once slept on by Obama and his lovely wife, Michelle.
Comey was sure that Trump was obstructing justice for Michael Flynn, and his claims and actions would lead to the Mueller investigation, which consumed two years of the Trump Presidency.
Schmidt is obsessed with detail and reigns highly skilled at working informants. The savvy workaholic journalist even gets a one-on-one interview with Trump at his Florida golf resort, which Trump's chief aide tries to break off.
