Dear JHPPL Friends,
Two of our authors, Lynn M. Paltrow, NAPW Executive Director, and Jeanne Flavin, Professor of Sociology at Fordham University, have recently published an important manuscript called "Arrests of and Forced Interventions on Pregnant Women in the United States, 1973-2005: Implications for Women's Legal Status and Public Health." It's been picked up by The Guardian, Mother Jones, and others.
Please see JHPPL's press release attached above, and links to the news articles below. We want to thank one of our board members, Elizabeth Armstrong, for identifying this important work and for encouraging the authors to submit to JHPPL.
This is part of an exciting forthcoming special issue on the politics of reproductive health, which also includes essays from prominent legal scholars on the politics and implications of the Supreme Court decision on PPACA. Please see the Table of Contents attached above, and for an early viewing please go to JHPPL's Advanced Publication link [http://jhppl.dukejournals.org/content/early/recent].
As always, please keep JHPPL in mind for your own work and to recommend to others. Finally, please keep in mind that Duke Press is willing to work with you on Press Releases if you think your research has important current policy implications.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any concerns or want to share new ideas for JHPPL with us.
