Imagine you are at a public meetinga forum of some kind at which members of the community discuss their ideas and concerns. Seated ahead of you are two people you know only slightly.

A FEMINIST UNDERSTANDING OF SEX-SELECTIVE ABORTION: SOLELY A MATTER OF CHOICE? |
10 Wisconsin Women's Law Journal 161 (Fall, 1995) |
Demographers of international population trends have found that adults prefer male offspring. This desire for male children is currently being realized by the use of both pre-conception and post-conception sex-selective reproductive techniques and technologies. While there are many ways for a woman to attempt to select the sex of her child before... |

The now-familiar debate over regulating hate speech on college and university campuses has pitted the values of the First Amendment against those of the Fourteenth.

The time has come to consider groups that are neither black nor white in the jurisprudence on race. There are many fallacies in the affirmative action debate. One of them, increasingly prominent, is that Asian Americans somehow are the example that defeats affirmative action. To the contrary, the Asian-American experience should demonstrate the... |
