“Coming-of-Age” in South Pacific, The Sound of Music, and Kimberly Akimbo
No full textThis paper discusses the ways in which the theme of “coming-of-age” is explored in South Pacific, The Sound of Music, and Kimberly Akimbo. I use the term “coming-of-age” because that is the colloquial phrase for stories about maturation, however this term can include any transition from an innocent mindset to an enlightened one. This change often results from encountering harsh realities of the real world and learning to accept them. Although the transformation often happens in tandem with growing older, it is the process of experiencing the world which catalyzes it. Growing older can mean challenging your beliefs, exploring where they came from, and learning that the world is different than you thought. Sometimes, it can even mean that you hide parts of yourself because society makes you believe they aren\u27t acceptable
Disability, Procreation, and Justice in the United States
No full textParenting and procreation have long been contested legal terrain in the United States as exemplified by a history of abuses against marginalized populations including people with disabilities. While some of the most egregious abuses, such as state sponsored sterilization programs, are relics of the past, it remains true that people with disabilities face distinct and at times insurmountable roadblocks to procreation and parenting. This article details ongoing forms of procreative discrimination against people with disabilities, rejects common justifications for that discrimination, and offers proposals for better protecting the rights to procreate and parent for disabled people.Peer reviewe

No full textProcreative Pluralism
No full textThis article offers a modern approach to evaluating the right to non-coital reproduction that centers on the concept of procreative pluralism. Using lessons taught by reproductive justice scholars and advocates, the article reframes reproductive autonomy and reproductive equality so as to avoid the pitfalls of each and offers a justice account of why constitutional protection of assisted
reproduction is critical.
The article argues that the fundamental right to procreate as protected by the Constitution includes a fundamental right to use assisted reproduction. Unlike other scholarship, the article rejects the basis of this right as liberty/autonomy or equality standing alone and posits that a justice framework is best for protecting and balancing the procreative interests at play when people use assisted reproduction. Given the fundamental rights argument, the article argues that justice requires extensive protection of the right to procreate and exacting scrutiny of legislative attempts to interfere with that right. It goes beyond other scholars who have made this claim by also determining that the state may have positive obligations to provide some people with access to assisted reproduction services. To reconcile the importance of the procreative right with the compelling nature of state interests in procreation, the article offers a two-tiered system of constitutional review of the fundamental right to noncoital procreation in which those who wish to procreate and parent receive greater protection than those who wish to procreate for profit. Finally, the article articulates principles for regulation based on the structure of a two-tiered right and offers ideas for how to reconcile the fundamental rights analysis with legitimate justice concerns about potential harms to individuals and society fromthe use of assisted reproduction
