    Beyond Medicaid Expansion: Addressing the Sexual and Reproductive Health Crisis in Rural Appalachia

    No full text
    In addition to negatively impacting abortion access, the decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization has forced many clinics in rural Appalachia that previously provided access to holistic sexual and reproductive health services, such as contraception management, sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing, and preventative cancer screening, to close their doors entirely. This has left many Appalachians living in rural communities with no option for accessing sexual and reproductive healthcare. However, many people were never able to access the care even before the recent provider shortage due to a lack of adequate insurance coverage. This article explores how Medicaid expansion can work alongside modified telehealth policies and scope of practice laws for Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs) to address the sexual and reproductive health crisis in rural Appalachia

    Addressing Educational Inequality in the United States: A Comparative Approach to the European System

    Full text link
    This study compares educational inequality in the U.S. and Europe. Utilizing a comparative approach based on the Positive Obligations of the European Convention on Human Rights and the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, we expand on social contexts and objective facts to address how the U.S responds to educational inequality issues in contemporary constitutional interpretation (digital transformation and disparity, for example). We examine emerging issues in social change and expectations and discuss the rationale for constitutional legal norms to explain how these contribute to constitutional change. We suggest that the nation’s confrontation with educational inequality should be guided by a positive obligation rationale based on the affordability of quality education, highlighting current problems facing the U.S. and proposing practical suggestions for the right to equality in education

    Schrödinger’s Dissent: The Hybrid Authority of a Dissenting Opinion

    Full text link
    A dissenting opinion is the Schrödinger’s cat of authorities: both the law and not the law simultaneously. Courts and scholars often clarify that a dissenting opinion is not binding. Outside the universe of precedent, that authority defies easy description. Emerging from the pen of a judge wearing a black robe and acting in an official capacity, a dissenting opinion exhibits the form of the law. Yet, beneath that lofty sheen, a dissent exhibits the substance of commentary. A dissenting judge writes to undercut the law, providing a case law coda. This Article describes the traditional categories of authority, primary and secondary, and argues that a dissenting opinion inhabits a hybrid category. As primary authority, a dissent enjoys the same rhetorical leeway as other opinions; as secondary authority, a dissent is an untethered critique of the law. Over the years, dissenting opinions from the Supreme Court provide enduring examples of a dissent’s mix of primary and secondary authority
