Cathie Humbarger of Right to Life of Northeast Indiana joins to discuss two court cases involving Whole Women's Health with a pro-life outcome. 10-19-2020 Pat Miller Program
Today's show could also be called "the worst good news possible" because, yes, the Supreme Court declined to completely gut Roe v. Wade (despite the fact that Roe is effectively dead in many ways), but this was not John Roberts turning into AOC. Find out why in Andrew's breakdown! Before that main story though, our first segment is about some reallllly bad news out of Florida. Remember when Florida voters came out overwhelmingly in supermajority numbers to restore voting rights to ex-felons? Yeah Republicans said "nah." We last covered this, when we thought the courts scored us a victory, in Episode 363. We also discuss the Supreme Court granting cert for some Mueller Report cases, which is NOT good news. Here are Andrew's links and references: Private Debt Collectors ad 40% to Total, Felons Can't Afford These Fines, Jones v. Governor of Florida, Previous OAs on June Medical: OA249 OA251 and OA251.5, Whole Women's Health v. Hellerstedt, OA309 Discusses Sheldon Whitehouse, Comprehensive Supreme Court Report by Sen Whitehouse and his amicus brief, Roberts Narrow Concurrence vs. stare decisis in Casey.
This week's episode covers June Medical Services v. Russo, which addresses the value of precedent and third party standing in abortion cases by essentially re-litigating the Whole Women's Health case from a few years ago. Law starts at (04:02).

It's a two-episode week! In this week's Wednesday episode, we are joined by Tom & Cecil of the Cognitive Dissonance podcast for a discussion about freedom of speech and whether online platforms such as Facebook and Twitter ought to be considered "public spaces." We begin with some announcements about the schedule, including Thomas Takes the Bar Exam, which will remain a weekly feature once we move to our twice-per-week format in January. So no new question today, but you will have a few extra days to answer TTTBE #3. Then we take a look at the new Texas law requiring funereal services for aborted embryos and miscarriages, and Thomas takes a shot at analyzing the issue. Is all his hard work studying for the Bar Exam paying off? Listen and find out! Finally, the show concludes with a discussion of the 1994 McDonalds "Hot Coffee" lawsuit, Liebeck v. McDonald's Restaurants, as an example of legal myths gone awry. What exactly happened in that case, and what does it say about whether we should have caps on punitive damages or other forms of "tort reform" in the U.S.? After that, we look at the abortion-related question of the lawsuit ostensibly brought by Sofia Vergara's frozen embryos. Is this a meritorious lawsuit or a publicity stunt orchestrated by a goofball anti-abortion columnist? Show Notes & Links Check out the Cognitive Dissonance podcast! Here are the actual fetal tissue rules promulgated by the Texas Health Services that require "interment" of "the products of spontaneous or induced human abortion." A federal judge in the Western District of Texas recently issued a temporary restraining order blocking the implementation of the rules pending a preliminary injunction hearing to be held on January 3. Whole Women's Health v. Hellerstedt, 136 S.Ct. 2292 (2016), provides some guidance as to how the Supreme Court might treat the Texas abortion rules. Here's the CollegeHumor video on the McDonald's "Hot Coffee" lawsuit.

This week's episode takes a deep dive into Whole Women's Health v. Hellerstadt, the case that invalidated a Texas law that set impossibly high medical standards on abortion clinics. Brett and Nazim discuss how/whether this case changed the undue burden standard, and in light of this decision, where a women's right to choose currently sits in regard to all of our Constitutional rights. The Law starts at (9:00), but the intro covers the results of the Fantasy League and introduces a new game involving the multi-state bar exam.
TRAPS, the Hyde Amendment, Criminalization of Self-Induced Abortion and Increasing Restrictions on Reproductive Rights in the United States.Discussion with Jill E. Adams and Melissa Mikesell on Whole Women's Health v Hellerstedt and the constitutionality and impact of TRAPS (targeted regulations of abortion providers) and increasing criminalization of self-induced abortion. We also look at increased violence at clinics, parental consent laws and the particular plight of indigent women resulting from family welfare caps on the one hand and the Hyde Amendment and Harris v McRae on the other, as well as discussing their constitutionality. Additionally, we discuss the patriarchial basis of the denial of reproductive rights to women. Jill is the founding Executive Director of the Center for Reproductive Rights and Justice at Berkeley Law, an organization dedicated to advancing reproductive rights. She is the Executive Editor of “Cases on Reproductive Rights and Justice”, the first legal textbook on reproductive rights and serves as advisor to numerous reproductive rights associations, including being the Vice President of the California Coalition for Reproductive Freedom and Board Treasurer of Reproductive Health Technologies Project. Melissa is the Center’s Supervising Attorney and the Director of the Self-Induced Abortion Legal Team. Before joining the Center, Melissa was the Senior Counsel and West Coast Director of Alliance for Justice. Her legal practice includes advocacy for clients in reproductive, social, economic and environmental justice as well as campaign compliance.For More Info:SIA Legal Team Primer,SIA Legal Team BrochureSIA Legal Team InfographicHarris v.

It has been 43 years since Roe v. Wade passed 7-2, yet the war against reproductive health clinics has not subsided. In the past six years, 288 TRAP () laws have been passed by state legislatures, subjecting reproductive health clinics and abortion providers to legal restrictions not imposed on any other medical professionals. Unable to comply with these extensive laws, dozens of clinics in states like Alabama and Texas have been forced to close, leaving scores of women under-served, without access to legal healthcare services. But now, a contingent of clinic workers and lawyers have taken the fight to the courts. Trapped follows leaders on the front lines of an escalating battle who are working to change the fact that, for many women, a zip code determines the fate of their constitutional rights. As another landmark Supreme Court case addressing abortion is decided this month, join New America for a screening of Sundance Film Festival award-winner Trapped and a conversation with leading experts on what remains among the country's most divisive issues. Stephanie Toti, lead counsel on that case, Whole Women's Health v. Cole, will be joining us. This event is a Social Cinema Screening.

Whole Woman's Health was first established in Austin, TX in 2003. With eight facilities located in Texas, Minnesota, Maryland, New Mexico, and Illinois, her clinics offer reproductive healthcare to more than 30,000 women a year. Amy's comittment to reproductive justice, advocacy for women and the elimination of the cultural stigma surrounding abortion, is unmatchable! Throughout her extensive career within women's reproductive justice, Amy has gained national attention and accolades including: Reproductive Equity Award from the Lillith Fund, Woman of the Year Award from Abortion Care Network and the Person of the Year from the National Coalition of Abortion Providers.Earlier this year, the Supreme Court heard Oral Arguments in Whole Women's Health vs. Hellerstedt. This case could decide whether abortion, a currently legal practice, could become practically inaccessible to millions of women and place an "undue burden" on women's access to reproductive health care.This is a pivotal time and case for women's reproductive health rights in this country, and one of the many reasons that #CourtsMatter
