Podcasts about Reproduction

It's been three years since Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court.The abortion access landscape has changed dramatically in that time. The procedure has been banned in 12 states with limited exceptions. Four states have banned abortion after six weeks. Now, several states are weighing bills that would treat abortion as homicide. But what comes next? What if getting Roe v. Wade struck down wasn't actually the real goal of the anti-abortion movement? What if it were something that would instead fundamentally change our understanding of constitutional rights in this country?That's what legal scholar Mary Zeigler argues in her new book, "Personhood: The New Civil War over Reproduction," which comes out tomorrow. We sit down with her to talk about it.Want to support 1A? Give to your local public radio station and subscribe to this podcast. Have questions? Connect with us.

   Slam the Gavel welcomes Marineka Bowman to the podcast. Marineka was last on Season 3, Episodes 104, 131, 159, 160, 174 and 184, Season 4, Episodes 22, 48 and 61, Season 5, Episodes 149, 210, 238 and 248. HELLO DOGE.    Today Marineka updated her case on the child support that she tried to modify in the Supreme Court of Delaware. Apparently Judge R. Eckeard wrote back to her stating that the case is dismissed and there isn't enough staff....    Meanwhile, Attorney Laura Brooks stated in court, "I don't care if you can't provide for your child." Marineka collects $1,500.00 in disability, however Child Support Enforcement takes approximately $1,052.00/per month. How can Marineka or ANY parent survive on being extorted this amount of money, when the father has YET to provide any W-2's. They are estimating Marineka at an old calculation back in 2022, which is common practice in shady DR Units all over the country.    All Marineka wants is to SEE HER DAUGHTER. She is being kept from her daughter, however her ex wants to collect the money. Child Support really should be suspended in her case, if a parent is being kept from their child, and the target parent is being kept off the list at the schools as well. Child Support is WEAPONIZED. Marineka is leaving all of this in the hands of GOD.    To Reach Marineka Bowman: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.com****** Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryann*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

Overturning Roe v. Wade was never the end goal of the anti-abortion movement, says UC Davis law professor and leading abortion historian Mary Ziegler. It was always to establish personhood for a fertilized egg, subject to equal protection under the Constitution. Should the “fetal personhood” movement succeed, then providing, assisting and even obtaining an abortion could be criminal acts. Ziegler joins us to break down the fetal personhood movement's legal strategy — and what it could mean for abortion access, contraception and in vitro fertilization. Ziegler's new book is “Personhood: The New Civil War Over Reproduction.” Guests: Mary Ziegler, professor of law, UC Davis School of Law Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

If we're going to have a disciple-making movement that absolutely explodes for Christ, it's got to organically make it past the third and fourth generations of disciple-makers. But that's just not happening in the West. Today we're joined by Pastor Matt Massey who took what he knew about marketing and sales and applied it to discipleship, and has spent the last couple of decades refining, tweaking, and building disciple-makers. Learn from Matt's mistakes and successes to find out how to build a disciple-making movement that ACTUALLY produces disciple-makers. In this episode, we talk about: 0:00 Intro 2:31 Early Challenges in Discipleship 12:02 Current Discipleship Practices 21:09 The Shift in Discipleship Language and Focus 26:25 Practical Strategies for Disciple Making 35:51 Overcoming Institutional Challenges 47:29 Reproduction in Discipleship 49:07 Final Thoughts on Discipleship Mentioned In This Episode: Master Plan of Evangelism by Robert Coleman: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008FZ3YZU/ Dawson Trotman Biography: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0891097961/ ---

   Slam the Gavel welcomes Heather Unbehaun to the podcast. She told her story of how she fled with her then nine year-old daughter in 2017, after the Judge John Dalton in Illinois illegally gave her abusive father full custody. She and her daughter were extremely close. Heather fled to protect her from her father, the emotionally abusive step monster as well as the corrupt court system.     They had been on the run for six years until Heather was arrested last May, as the father filed an Order of Protection against Heather right on Mother's Day. Heather hasn't seen or talked to her daughter since and she wants her daughter to know that she loves her very much.    The court system is continuing the corruption while Heather suffers from PTSD and wants to tell the truth of exactly what happened.To Reach Heather Unbehaun:  dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.com****** Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryann*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

How do we acquire knowledge about societies? Does how we acquire social knowledge shape what we know? How conscious must we be of our own experiences as we do our research? What does feminism add to our methods and modes of research? Now in its second edition, Feminist Ethnography: Thinking through Methodologies, Challenges, and Possibilities (Rowman and Littlefield, 2022) by Drs. Crista Craven and Dána-Ain Davis answers these questions. The book is at once a how-to manual for doing feminist ethnography and a compendium of contributions from influential feminist ethnographers. Designed for students, scholars, community activists, and anyone interested in social knowledge, the book is multi-vocal and interdisciplinary and promotes critical methodologies as sites for reflection, collaboration, and creativity. It is a particularly important work for this moment in which anti-DEI efforts aim to minimize the work and perspectives of minoritized groups. Dr. Christa Craven (she/her/hers) is a Professor of Anthropology and Women's, Gender & Sexuality Studies at the College of Wooster, and co-founder of the Global Queer Studies minor. She has published four books, including Feminist Ethnography.

She is the director of the Center for the Study of Women and Society at the CUNY Graduate Center. Davis is the author, co-author, or co-editor of five books including Feminist Ethnography.

Marineka was last on Season 3, Episodes 104, 131, 159, 160, 174 and 184, Season 4, Episodes 22, 48 and 61, Season 5, Episodes 149, 210 and 238.     Today we updated Marineka's case and how she is court ordered to go to Turning Corners, LLC (more like cutting corners) for counseling with her daughter, however the counselor has either canceled or called in sick, and on April 10, 2025 quit unexpectedly. Since Marineka pays the father child support, Medicaid is paying for this and apparently Turning Corners is also billing Medicaid. Hello DOGE. Judge Natalie Haskins is awaiting on her report that obviously she will not receive. This also means that Marineka has yet to see her daughter.    Marineka will not stop fighting to see her daughter who needs her. Marineka also described other incidents where the father had tried to obstruct her visits with her daughter. Judge Natalie Haskins must reverse custody for the sake of the best interest of the child. Their child isn't even on a second grade reading level, Educational Neglect taking place, and even Attorney Laura Brooks doesn't care either.   To Reach Marineka Bowman: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.com****** Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryann*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

    Slam the Gavel podcast, welcomes back Jessie Lake to the podcast. Jessie was last on Season 5, Episode 241. Today Jessie had an update on her case as well as a recording that was revealed to her of proof of  the forged hair follicle tests, "somebody did something here." To think that an important test could be forged to remove her first set of twins from her is egregious. Her lawyer NEVER provided the court this evidence while Jessie wasted $8,000.00 as her lawyer rushed her, gaslit her and told her he would subpoena until she paid him another $200.00.    Jessie did say that she is now on unsupervised visits for four hours, every other weekend. The girls are calling her "mom" but sometimes call her by her name, but they are also calling another woman, Keisha, "mom." Jessie suspects that the guardian is selling her daughters while letting this other woman raise them. This is child trafficking and child psychological abuse.     Continuing to fight to have her daughters back in her life is something Jessie will not stop fighting for and longs for the day that they are all together having a "normal" family life. The state has destroyed their childhoods when at this point in time, they need to be placed with their mother.    To Reach Jessie Lake: lakejessie88@gmail.com***** Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.comhttps://ko-fi.com/maryannpetri*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

   Slam the Gavel welcomes back Dr. Bandy X. Lee to the podcast. Dr. Lee was last on the podcast Season 4, Episode 23 (1-31-2023). Today we discussed Dr. Bandy Lee's lawsuit with impeachment initiative to bring transparency to the Star Chamber-like family court (Press Release).     Family courts are nefariously secretive, like the Star Chamber in England, which had been abolished approximately four centuries ago. Transparency is ESSENTIAL for deterring family court abuses which include judicial bias, witness perjury and CPS/Guardian ad Litem one-sided interviews.     Dr. Bandy Lee's lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey challenges the constitutionality of the dark secrecy cloud that hangs over family courts nationwide. The Judge in Dr. Lee's case censored her for writing about family court proceedings, ordering it to be removed from the internet and holding her in contempt under the threat of imprisonment is she should speak or write about the serious health and financial abuses she has professionally witnessed. A PRIOR RESTRAINT IN BLATANT FASHION OF THE VIOLATION OF THE FIRST AMENDMENT.     Both Dr. Lee and her constitutionally acclaimed Attorney, Bruce Fein are available to the media.To Reach Bandy Lee:  bandylee.com***** Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.comhttps://ko-fi.com/maryannpetri*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

The father made false allegations of child abuse (when he hadn't been in the child's life for four years) against her friend with no investigation done by police and DCFS.

Kat and Scott have said it time and time again—and Scott's recent return from Argentina without Pupy, the female African elephant at the Buenos Aires eco-parque, proves it: everything works on elephant time. We discuss how amazing Pupy is (of course), how she has developed since the death of her companion, Kuky, and how her insecurities about having the back gate of her transport crate closed made  rescheduling her relocation necessary. Scott shares insights into her training, explains how her care team will incorporate his suggestions, and emphasises that, despite this small setback, everyone remains fully committed to Pupy's relocation.The episode transcript can be found here.Email: We'd love to hear from you podcast@globalelephants.orgWho we are: Global Sanctuary for Elephants exists to create vast, safe spaces for captive elephants, where they are able to heal physically and emotionally.

    Slam the Gavel welcomes William Danh to the podcast. William has been fighting for his rights to see his daughter for years. His daughter was born in 2012, and didn't even know he had a daughter until 2023 when the mother called him up looking for child support. A paternity test was done. However, the mother, living under various addresses had applied for $20,000 in TANF that was granted. But now that she cannot be located, they are coming after William for the $20,000.00    Despite William's efforts, the courts, Dept. of Child Support Enforcement, CPS and his daughter's Guardian ad Litem have repeatedly ignored his questions. For over a year William has pleaded with them for information on his daughter's whereabouts and safety. They wouldn't answer him. Meanwhile, seven years ago, her mother abandoned her in a home with known drug abuse and neglect. Tragically a four year-old child (daughter's half-brother)  was murdered in that home. Article written in WUSA9, "3 Family Members Arrested For Murder of a 4-year-old Boy in Manassas," By Matt Pusatory on January 30th, 2025.    It wasn't until after this tragedy that the system finally acknowledged William, but only because they couldn't ignore the huge mess they created. As of now, the whereabouts of the mother is unknown and is not held accountable, CPS continues to ignore William and Dept. of Child Support Enforcement is focusing on the money they think William owes.To Reach William Danh:  Danh.w@yahoo.com***** Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.comhttps://ko-fi.com/maryannpetri*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

Summary: How do Screamers make more Screamers? Join Kiersten to find out about Screamer reproduction.    For my hearing impaired followers, a complete transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean   Show Notes:  Screamers: https://animaldiversity.org Ornithology 3rd Edition by Frank B. Gill The Most Perfect Thing: Inside (and Outside) a Bird's Egg by Tim Birkhead Music written and performed by Katherine Camp   Transcript (Piano music plays) Kiersten - This is Ten Things I Like About…a ten minute, ten episode podcast about unknown or misunderstood wildlife. (Piano music stops) Welcome to Ten Things I Like About… I'm Kiersten, your host, and this is a podcast about misunderstood or unknown creatures in nature. Some we'll find right out side our doors and some are continents away but all are fascinating.  This podcast will focus ten, ten minute episodes on different animals and their amazing characteristics. Please join me on this extraordinary journey, you won't regret it. Welcome to the third episode of Screamers. The third thing I like about Screamers is how they make new Screamers. Let's talk about reproduction. Since this is the first bird we've discussed, I'm going to start off with a very basic introduction to bird egg anatomy and overall bird reproduction. Then we'll look at individual Screamers.  Basic egg anatomy explains how chicks can actually survive inside what looks like a solid capsule. I know I used to wonder how baby birds could live and grow inside a hard shelled egg. What I'm going to walk you through next is a basic egg anatomy lesson. To learn more in depth, I recommend Tim Birkhead's book The Most Perfect Thing. He describes the avian egg masterfully and it is an enjoyable read.  The avian egg consists of three main layers, the hard outer shell, the albumen (egg whites), and the yolk (the yellow center). In a fertilized egg, not the ones we eat for breakfast, the embryo will start off in a pocket in the yolk. As the embryo grows the yolk decreases. There are other layers, capillaries, and veins throughout the the egg connecting the chick to food (the yolk), removing its waste, and exchanging gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide.  The albumen is the chick's water supply and consists of water and proteins. It also acts as a shock absorber protecting the embryo from movement aa well as protecting it from drastic temperature changes. Sounds cozy! Sounds like nature at its most amazing.  The outer shell protects the chick from getting squished when mom and dad incubate, it is permeable to allow exchange of gases. There are teeny-tiny holes that allow oxygen in and carbon dioxide out. That is the key to a chicks survival, a sturdy out protective shell that is flexible enough to let thing in and out. Seriously, bird eggs really are the most perfect thing nature has ever created. Where do bird eggs come from? Well, from inside the female. It begins in the ovary where a ovum waits to be released into the oviduct. As it travels through this structure, it gathers all the layers it needs around the ovum or fertilized embryo to result in a successfully laid egg. There are ‘pitstops' along the journey through the oviduct where the egg gathers each layer, approximately three until the eggs arrives at the cloaca ready to be laid. This process can take as little as 24 hours or up to a week. Birds lay only one egg at a time. They can lay one to several eggs in a clutch and this depends on the species of bird and the resources available to them during breeding season.  Now that we have a very rudimentary understanding of egg production let's take a trip out to the field and find out how Screamers reproduce. Horned Screamers, Anhima cornuta, pair for life or at least for several years. The male gets the female's attention with a variety of courtship behaviors. Now, males will fight each other for the right to court a female and they use the spurs on their wings as weapons. Once the males has won the right to court the female, one courtship behavior consists of head-bobbing. Both partners will participate in this activity. One partner will approach the other and they will both stretch their necks out and bob their heads up and down one to three times. To confirm their pair bond, preening of each other's head and neck feathers will commence and this behavior will continue throughout the year and throughout their relationship.  Before copulation, the male walks around the female with his beak pressed down against his inflated crop. His neck is retracted and his dorsal feathers are standing up. After he circles her, he will bow his head 1 to 3 times in front of the female. If she accepts copulation will occur and take only about ten seconds. Seems like a lot of work for just ten seconds but I applaud him for his courteous behavior.  Horned Screamers breed year round with no clearly defined breeding season that we are aware of at this time. They nest on the ground with both partners helping build the nest. It is typically located in or near marshy vegetation by shallow water. It will be 8 to 10 cm deep and made of reeds and sticks. A female will lay 2 to 8 smooth yellowish-white eggs and both parents will share in the incubation duties. Females will typically sit on the eggs during the day and males at night. Young are precocial and can walk as soon as they hatch. They will follow their parents fro 60 to 75 days learning what to eat and how to navigate the world. Southern Screamers, Chauna torquata, also create long term pair bonds. Males will fight each other for the opportunity to attract mates using their wing spurs like the Horned Screamer. Once pair bonds are created, the partners will duet together solidifying their pair bond. They will continue these duets reaffirming their bond throughout their relationship. Southern Screamers will mate from July to December. They create nests similar to Horned Screamers and both parents share all the parental duties until the chicks are on their own. Chicks are precocial after hatching and are running around following the parents until about 13 weeks.  Northern Screamers, Chauna chavaria, also maintain long lived pair bonds. During the breeding season males will call loudly to proclaim territory and these territories will be protected against other animals all year long. Males and females will duet together to establish their pair bond. They will also preen each other. During courtship displays, Northern Screamers walk side by side with their heads almost touching their backs. They produce low, coarse sounds as they walk.  Copulation occurs on the ground. Nests are similar to the other two species of screamer and is often in shallow water or next to the water. Peak egg laying season is October through November but breeding may happen year round. Females will lay 3 to 5 yellow-white eggs with a granulated shell. Both parents incubate the eggs and watch after the young once they hatch. Northern Screamer chicks are also precocial. They spend a lot of time in the water just after hatching to protect the chicks. The chicks will fledge from the protection of their parents at about 14 to 15 weeks.  Northern Screamers are solitary nesters but will form loose groups outside of breeding season. Screamers have very similar reproductive behaviors with slight differences that make each species unique. I hope you enjoyed this episode because my third favorite thing about Screamers is how they make baby Screamers. If you're enjoying this podcast please recommend me to friends and family and take a moment to give me a rating on whatever platform your listening. It will help me reach more listeners and give the animals I talk about an even better chance at change.  Join me next we for another exciting episode about Screamers.        (Piano Music plays)  This has been an episode of Ten Things I like About with Kiersten and Company.

Slam the Gavel welcomes back Deanna Kloostra to the podcast. Deanna was last on Season 5, Episodes 60 and 201. Today we discussed the case of  14 year-old, Emily Pike, a teen who was missing and found murdered in Arizona. Deanna talked about the group homes, foster care and CPS that contribute to unhappy children and families that suffer through the systems.     Talking at length about being a Program Director for group homes, being under staffed and unsafe, Deanna explained from her experiences what really goes on in these group homes. CPS will remove a child from a fit home (or not), and place them in a group home. Most often this child is unprepared to handle what goes on when meeting other violent individuals in these homes. By six months the child can't handle it, so staff refers to a psychiatrist who diagnoses, places the child on medication, and now the child is labeled, "mentally disabled," and is now worth more money to the Title IV-E system. Not a podcast to be missed.To Reach Deanna Kloostra: DK Family Court Coach on Social Media***** Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.comhttps://ko-fi.com/maryannpetri*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

   Slam the Gavel welcomes Jessie Lake from Missouri to the podcast. Jessie tells her story of having twin girls absconded with by the Head of DSS in an article written in April 25th, 2020 by the Columbia Daily Tribune by Jackie Rehwald. The plot thickens. The girls were being forced to call the Head of DSS, "mom." There were also forged drug tests involved and plenty of conflicts of interests as well as collusion.     After Jessie had a second set of twin girls. They fell under guardianship of a woman she thought she could trust who also had her eldest son. As time went on, Jessie has been paying an upwards of $160.00-$600.00 for supervised visits after a judge declined to end the guardianship. Her eldest son has since come home to her.https://www.columbiatribune.com/story/news/courts/2020/04/25/columbia-mother-whose-twins-are/1291592007/To Reach Jessie Lake:  lakejessie88@gmail.com***** Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.comhttps://ko-fi.com/maryannpetri*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

    Slam the Gavel welcomes back Marc Fishman to the podcast. Marc was last on Season 5, Episodes 202 and 224. Marc Fishman, a Pro Se Litigant was on to announce his ingenious win in is case against Parental Alienation. Marc filed an Order to Show Cause, arguing that when a custodial parent willfully interferes with an order for visitation the non-custodial parent should not be penalized for missed times/milestones and to build a meaningful relationship with his children.    Marc is now awarded a retroactive credit of $48,668.75 for his son's missed visits due to custodial interference. This also eliminates future child support and childcare costs. This win is so important as it shows Marc's win to maintain a loving relationship with his children. NOW it sets a precedent for any PARENT involved in similar cases. Marc encourages every parent to not lose hope.

The vagina is a dark and mysterious place. It is the passage by which most of us enter the world. As an adult, it is the place where our sexuality is housed, hopefully, associated with pleasure, but it can also be a place associated with pain, and sometimes trauma.  It is impossible to see the vagina without a speculum since the vagina is completely internal. And it was the invention of the speculum that allowed physicians to help women suffering from gynecologic conditions.  But, there is a dark history to the origins of the speculum exam, and even in recent times there are those that have taken advantage of this very vulnerable moment to harm, not help women.   In this episode, I have a conversation with Dr. Wendy Kline, a Professor at Perdue University who is internationally recognized for her scholarship in the history of medicine, the history of women's health, and the history of childbirth.  She is the author of many books, including her most recent book: Exposed: The Hidden History of the Pelvic Exam.  19th century- The invention of the speculum and how it changed gynecology The 1960s- the age of medical paternalism  2010 when the American College of Physicians said pelvic exams were no longer necessary Today- how predators and abusers have taken advantage of women during gynecologic exams Exposed: The Hidden History of the Pelvic Exam  Dr. Streicher is on SUBSTACK DrStreicher.Substack.com Wendy Kline Ph.D., Dema G.

Dr Gunnar Babcock is a lecturer in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York. He was a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Biology at Duke University. He received his Doctorate in Philosophy from the University at Albany, SUNY. His research is primarily in the philosophy of science/biology. It focuses on topics like biological individuality, species, and both modern and historical accounts of teleology. Much of his work aims to develop a new approach to understanding goal directed systems called field theory. He is also involved in the project “Does Earth's habitability for life exist due to or in spite of Darwinian evolution by natural selection?” His other research considers developments in synthetic biology, the scope of selective processes, and how biotechnologies sometimes help reveal the metaphysical underpinnings of concepts like reproduction, species, lineages, and life generally. His broader philosophical interests extend to ethics in life sciences, history and philosophy of science, and ancient philosophy.

But if we were setting odds on this confirmation, we'd say put your money on Bobby. So, WTF. Bobby Brainworms will be in charge of US public health, and its influence around the world. Our years of reporting on him have been defeated by the influencer noise of the MAHA Mamas. But we. Will. Carry. On. Julian reviews the misinfo docket. Derek runs down the bureaucratic implications.
