------
In 1989, the Center for Women Policy Studies launched The Law and Pregnancy Program: Implementing Policies for Women’s Reproductive Rights and Health as the “second stage” of the groundbreaking Project on Reproductive Laws for the 1990s* at the Women’s Rights Litigation Clinic and the Institute for Research on Women at Rutgers University.
The Project’s papers defined the “second generation” of complex reproductive rights issues and new assaults on the right to privacy and bodily integrity as guaranteed by Roe v. Wade.

Today, we are issuing a NEW CALL FOR PAPERS on REPRODUCTIVE LAWS FOR THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY.
Inspired by the Reproductive Laws for the 1990s authors, the Center seeks new legal and policy analyses, research reports, and commentary on current and future threats to women’s reproductive rights, justice, and health -- with particular emphasis on their impact on women of color, low income women, and women with disabilities – both in the USA and globally.
REPRODUCTIVE LAWS FOR THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY Papers could address the current and future status of the issues defined in Reproductive Laws for the 1990s: A Briefing Handbook, 1998*:
- reproductive laws, women of color and low income women
- reproductive and contraceptive technologies
- alternative modes of reproduction
- attempts to define a legal status for the fetus
- interference with reproductive choice
- imposing time limits on access to abortion
- reproductive technologies and disability
- prenatal screening and disability discrimination
- reproductive hazards in the workplace
POTENTIAL AUTHORS should submit a one page concept/abstract to lwolfe@centerwomenpolicy.org by FRIDAY, JULY 8. FINAL PAPERS will be due NO LATER THAN OCTOBER 31 2011.
*The book, Reproductive Laws for the 1990s, edited by Sherrill Cohen and Nadine Taub, Humana Press, 1989, is available at Amazon.com.
