The Project on Reproductive Laws for the 1990s began in 1985 with
the realization that reports of scientific developments and new
technologies were stimulating debates and discussions among
bioethicists and policymakers, and that women had little part in
those discussions either as participants or as a group with
interests to be considered. With the help of a planning grant from
the Rutgers University Institute for Research on Women, the Women's
Rights Litigation Clinic at Rutgers University Law School-Newark
held a planning meeting that June attended by approximately 20
theorists and activists in the area of reproductive rights. Project
purposes, methods, and general shape took form at the meeting. Two
goals have characterized the Project's work since then: first, to
generate discussion, debate, and, where possible, consensus among
those committed to reproductive autonomy and gender equality as to
how best to respond to the questions raised by re ported advances
in reproductive and neonatal technology and new modes of
reproduction; and second, to ensure that those shaping reproductive
law and policy appreciate the ramifications of these developments
for gender equality. In meeting this twofold agenda, the Project
focused on six areas: time limits on abortion; prenatal screening;
fetus as patient; reproductive hazards in the workplace;
interference with reproductive choice; and alternative modes of
reproduction. The Project identified individuals to take respon
sibility for drafting model legislation and position papers in the
six areas (for the drafters, see the Appendix)."
