OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
From privacy to prohibition: US abortion policy, devolved
Four global models of abortion regulation include the model of “privacy”, of which the United States was a prime example until a recent Supreme Court decision declared that there is no constitutional right to obtain a medically safe abortion.
Moral decisions such as whether an individual is entitled to terminate a pregnancy, the court declared, should be made by elected state policymakers, not the Supreme Court.
This lecture explains why the ‘devolution’ of reproductive rights is bad national constitutional law, bad politics, and, for the millions of women unable to travel distances and out of state for medical care, bad public health. So what now?
This event will be moderated by Professor Ngaire Woods.
