Julie Kline directs a reading of Paula Kamen's documentary play JANE: ABORTION AND THE UNDERGROUND to benefit A is For. The cast features Jeff Biehl, Brooke Bloom, Monique Coleman, Ana Gasteyer, Charlotte Graham, Jenn Lyon, Kathy Najimy, Cynthia Nixon, Chris Stack and Carmen Zilles. Before abortion was legal in the United States, women in Chicago knew who to call for help. From 1969 until 1972, Jane, the legendary feminist abortion service, was the one safe alternative for 11,000 women from all backgrounds. The women who ran the service were mostly unassuming: college students, “hippie housewives,” and antiwar activists. But they led extraordinary double lives, running the most active underground abortion service in modern history. JANE: ABORTION AND THE UNDERGROUND is based on original interviews with the women who ran and used this service as well as the men who supported it. The reading will be followed by a panel discussion with Pascale Bernard (Vice President of Public Affairs Planned Parenthood of New York City), playwright and journalist Paula Kamen, reproductive rights historian Felicia Kornbluh (Professor of History and Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies, University of Vermont), and Angelique Imani Rodriguez (Senior Editor, Fiction and Short Story for Raising Mothers) as well as women who had underground abortions referred by or related to Jane in the late 1960s: activist Sunny Chapman and Jackie. Proceeds from the reading will benefit A is For.

Wednesday round-up

According to Pete Williams of NBC News, “[t]he court disclosed Tuesday that [Justice Sonia] Sotomayor took herself off a case from Colorado involving a challenge to a state law directing how presidential electors must cast their votes, because of a personal friendship with one of the challengers.” At CNN, Ariane de Vogue reports that “[t]here are two cases, one from Colorado and one from Washington state, before the justices”; although “the Court had initially consolidated the cases, on Tuesday it said it would unlink them and hear separate oral arguments.”

Briefly:

At The Hill (via How Appealing), Harper Neidig reports that Mark Janus, “[a]n anti-union advocate who won a landmark Supreme Court case two years ago is now asking the court to order a public sector labor group to pay back the union dues that it had ruled unconstitutional.”

At The American Prospect, Felicia Kornbluh weighs in on in June Medical Services v. Russo, a challenge to a Louisiana law regulating abortion, observing that “[b]ecause the potential consequences of Louisiana’s initiative are so severe, the case is really a test of whether a state can effectively legislate abortion out of existence without criminalizing patients or doctors for seeking or providing it per se, or by attacking Roe v. Wade head-on.”

At the White Collar Crime Prof Blog, Ellen Podgor writes that a ruling for the president in upcoming cases involving his efforts to shield his financial records from subpoenas issued to his accountant and lenders “would mean that a President could engage in conduct that could never be scrutinized.”

We rely on our readers to send us links for our round-up. If you have or know of a recent (published in the last two or three days) article, post, podcast or op-ed relating to the Supreme Court that you’d like us to consider for inclusion in the round-up, please send it to roundup [at] scotusblog.com. Thank you!
