In honor of Women's History Month, we will present awards and checks to
the wonderful students who submitted winning entries to our annual Feminist
Essay Contest. Expect to be invigorated by the enthusiasm of the next
generation of feminists —girls and boys alike. Show them the recognition they
deserve in taking on this critical topic, and come out to represent our chapter as
we salute the students, their families and their teachers. This year’s Essay
Contest topic was:
There are currently 99 female members of Congress out of 535 members. Of that number, there are 20 female Senators (20% of the total) and 79 female House members (18.2% of the total). That’s only 18.5% of Congress representing a country where approximately 51% of the population is female. Why is this? In 300 words or less, please consider the following: “You are running for the U.S. Senate or the House of Representatives. 1. What women's rights issues would be on your platform? 2. What obstacles are faced by female candidates? 3. What can be done to overcome these obstacles?” Our Winners Are:
Grade 12
1st prize: Amy Ribinsky, Shawnee High School
Grade 11
1st prize: Victoria Gilstrap, Eastern Regional High School
2nd prize: Hannah Morrissey, Eastern Regional High School
Grade 10
1st prize: Sarabeth Coyle, Cinnaminson High School
Apart from being extremely memorable for the students, the evening is inspiring
and affirming for those who attend. Chapter members have often said it is one of
their favorite program meetings of the year! Please join us!!
Program includes announcements, refreshments, and letter writing. Meetings are open to members and non-­‐members. Feminist Calendar

International Women’s Day. A celebration whose
origins trace back to protests in the U.S. and
Europe to honor and fight for political rights for
working women. U.S. women organized the first
Women’s Day in response to the 1911 Triangle
Shirtwaist Factory that killed 146 women trapped
in a locked workroom (our Program Meeting topic
several months ago). This inspired International
Women’s Day on March 8th. Feminists initiated
Women’s History Week which, in 1987, was
expanded to the entire month of March, through
the efforts of Congresswomen Bella Abzug. Plan a
community, group or school celebration with the
help of the National Women’s History Project’s
catalog (print or on-line) including posters,
calendars, placemats, speeches, videos,

A Perilous Year for Abortion Rights
By The Editorial Board, New York Times, Jan. 20, 2015
The start of 2015 finds no letup in the attacks
on a woman’s constitutionally protected right to
make her own childbearing decisions. Republican
lawmakers and organizations devoted to
dismantling reproductive freedom have succeeded
in shrinking the already inadequate number of
abortion providers, making it exceedingly difficult,
if not impossible, for women—especially young
and poor women—to obtain safe and legal
abortion services in large swaths of Texas and
other parts of the country.
The dismal situation, created by the wave of
new state abortion restrictions in Republican-led
states over the past four years, would be even
worse if not for the willingness of some judges to
block unconstitutional laws. Defenders of abortion
rights have had their hands full trying to block or at
least minimize new restrictive laws, totaling 231,
according to the Guttmacher Institute, exceeding
the total for the entire previous decade.
Even as court battles play out in Texas and
elsewhere over aggressive limitations, such as
medically unnecessary hospital affiliation
requirements for doctors who perform abortions
and rules forcing abortion facilities to meet
hospital-style building codes, legislatures in states
like Missouri and Tennessee are gearing up to pile
on more restrictions.
So is Congress, where Republicans now
control both the House and Senate.
Already, six bills reviving old, bad ideas have
been introduced in the new Congress, including
one that would deny federal funds for family
planning to any organization that provides
abortions. Its main target is Planned Parenthood,
which provides access to birth control, and breast
and cervical cancer screening for millions of lowincome women, and offers abortion services.
On Thursday, the House is expected to vote on
the deceptively named Pain-Capable Unborn
Child Protection Act, sponsored by Representative
Trent Franks, Republican of Arizona. This
measure would prohibit almost all abortions 20
weeks after fertilization, flouting the Supreme
Court’s standard of fetal viability, generally put at
22 to 24 weeks post-fertilization.
It has other problems, too. It contains no
exception to protect a woman’s health, as current
law mandates, or for the majority of rapes and
incest crimes that go unreported. Its dangerously
constricted exception for situations in which a
woman’s life is in jeopardy would require women
to wait until their condition becomes lifethreatening before terminating a pregnancy. And it
would force women to decide whether to go
forward with a pregnancy before learning of a
major fetal abnormality or serious risks to their
own health.
Criminal penalties, fines and reporting
requirements would scare off doctors from helping
women in need of competent and compassionate
care.
The bill’s supporters cite polls showing the
popularity of a 20-week ban. But polls also
indicate that opinions can change quickly when
the real-world impact is better understood. The
proposed 20-week ban on the 2013 ballot in
Albuquerque was defeated by a vote of 55 percent
to 45 percent. Although it would have applied just
in Albuquerque, it would have affected the entire
state, since the only New Mexico clinics that
perform post-20-week abortions are in that city.
It remains to seen whether the Senate majority
leader, Mitch McConnell, will be able to muster the
60 votes needed to pass the bill in his chamber,
but he has vowed to try, notwithstanding President
Obama’s past veto threat.
Republicans scoff at accusations that they are
waging a war against women. But this should not
obscure a basic fact: The ability of women to
control their reproductive lives is essential for their
health, careers and equality.
White, Male
by Michele Kort, Ms. Blog, January 15, 2015
The 2015 Oscar nominations, announced this
morning, loudly echo Martha Lauzen’s most recent
report on the “celluloid ceiling” for women in
Hollywood. What Lauzen said about her findings
can equally be said of today’s nominees:
[They] drive home the point that men continue
to construct the vast majority of the visual and
aural worlds featured in U.S. films.
Let’s start with the “good news”: There are two
categories completely dominated by women—best
actress and best supporting actress!
The rest of the nominations, as a whole, are
disproportionately dismal for women and for
people of color. The biggest disappointment is the
lack of recognition for Ava DuVernay and the
African American actors in her film Selma. Yes, it
got a best picture nomination, and one for best
song, but why wasn’t DuVernay on the Best
Director list? Is it because of criticism of how she
handled LBJ’s role in the civil rights movement?
Here’s what Melissa Silverstein had to say about it
in Indiewire:
This snub feels like a kick in the teeth to
women directors everywhere. [DuVernay] ticked
all the boxes. Made a movie about a historical
figure whom people know. Made a movie about a
man [indeed, all the best-picture nominees are
about men]. Great reviews. Great lead
performance. … Movies that women direct don’t
usually get the studio financial support of millions
of dollars to compete in the Oscar race. Selma
did. It played hard. But the LBJ partisans played
harder, and clearly they won. They knocked down
a movie of towering significance, and quite frankly
it makes the Academy members look like idiots.
And here’s what Scott Mendelson added in
Forbes:
Selma is not the first “based on a true story”
picture that has come under fire for historical
inaccuracies. But it is the rare black-centric
historical drama told explicitly from the point of
view of its black protagonists. So it is both ironic
and infuriating that it has now been defamed
because of the (I would argue false) notion that it
isn’t nice enough to a really powerful white guy
who plays a key supporting role.
And, by the way, why wasn’t David Oyelowo
nominated for his much-praised portrayal of Martin
Luther King, Jr.? In fact, there are no actors of
- 5 - Equal Write
color among the best acting nominees, let alone
recognized—or given a chance to be
recognized—in so many other categories of
achievement. As The Atlantic put it, “The Oscars
Haven’t Been This White in 19 Years.”
Then there are all those categories in which
women are left out of the clubhouse:
cinematography, film scoring, screenplays, visual
effects, sound mixing. Not surprisingly, women are
best represented in fashion-related categories:
costume design, makeup, set decoration. And
documentary film—in which “Hollywood” has little
involvement—is rich with women in its credits; this
time, two of the five Best Documentary Feature
films and two of the five Best Documentary Short
films are directed by women. (You go, Laura
Poitras, Rory Kennedy, Ellen Goosenberg Kent
and Aneta Kopacz!)
And what about Mica Levi? She’s one of the
rare women composers getting “Hollywood”
attention these days. And that’s not surprising,
since women scored only 1 percent of the top 250
films in Lauzen’s study. But while others have
recognized Levi’s talent on the film Under the
Skin—she won Best Composer at the European
Film Awards and was tied for the honor of Best
Music/Score from the Los Angeles Film Critics—
the Oscars had no room for her. Instead, the
Academy stuck with standard favorites such as
Alexandre Desplat (two nominations) and Hans
Zimmer.
I suppose the only other good news this
morning is that so many people are pissed off
about the nominations. That indicates a growing
recognition that the film industry needs much more
diversity and gender parity. And even if Academy
voters are behind the curve, regular moviegoers
are showing their love for DuVernay’s Selma and
also-unnominated Angelina Jolie’s Unbroken.
Keep casting those votes at the box office so that
Hollywood knows how much we want to see films
about, and made by, women and people of color!
And prepare yourself for the stupid red-carpet
questions that will be asked of the women at the
upcoming Oscar ceremonies. …
West Virginia Republican Says Rape Can Be
‘Beautiful’ if It Produces a Child
By David Ferguson, Alternet, February 6, 2015
A Republican state lawmaker in West Virginia
said on Thursday that while rape is horrible, it’s
“beautiful” that a child could be produced in the
attack.
According to the Huffington Post, Charleston
Gazette reporter David Gutman was on the scene
when Delegate Brian Kurcaba (R) said, “Obviously
rape is awful,” but “What is beautiful is the child
that could come from this.”
Kurcaba made the remarks during a House of
Delegates discussion of a law outlawing all
abortions in the state after 20 weeks’ gestation. At
20 weeks, anti-choice activists and lawmakers
allege, a fetus can feel pain and is therefore too
viable to abort.
The bill was passed by West Virginia
Republicans in 2014, but vetoed by Democratic
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin. Now the state GOP has
revived the bill and voted to remove an exception
for victims of rape and incest.
Kurcaba’s remarks echo a string of
embarrassing statements by Republicans
regarding rape and women’s bodies:
In 2012, Missouri’s Rep. Todd Akin said that
pregnancy can’t result from rape because “If it’s
legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to
shut the whole thing down.”
Indiana Senate candidate Richard
Mourdock said that while sexual assaults are
unfortunate, the resulting pregnancy is a “gift from
God.”
Libertarian favorite Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX)
made statements of his own implying that women
routinely fabricate rape stories in order to get
abortions. “If it’s an honest rape,” said Paul,
physicians should allow the victim to abort, but
otherwise, women should not be able to terminate
their pregnancies just because they claim to have
been raped.
Republican leaders convened an emergency
meeting in 2013 urging the rank and file to stop
talking about rape altogether lest it further alienate
women voters, who have been abandoning the
Republican Party in droves.
Nonetheless, Kurcaba—a financial advisor who
was elected in 2014—appears eager to bring
discussions of rape back into the dialogue about
women’s access to reproductive health care.
Doctors Say Politicians Who Question
Vaccines ‘Fail At the First Duty Of A Politician’
By Tara Culp-Ressler, Think Progress, February 3, 2015
This week, potential presidential contenders
are increasingly weighing in on the issue of
vaccine safety—sparking considerable
controversy amid a worsening measles outbreak
that’s sickened more than 100 people in the past
month alone.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) kicked it off
on Monday by telling reporters that the
government must “balance” public health concerns
with parents’ rights to refuse vaccines if they
believe the shots may harm their children. The
comments put the spotlight on Christie’s long
history of pandering to anti-vaccine parents, who
have a strong presence in New Jersey, a state
with a particularly high rate of autism.
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul (R) further fueled the
debate by saying that most vaccines should be
voluntary, claiming that some children develop
“profound mental disorders” after being immunized
even though there’s no evidence to back that up.
Paul, who is an eye doctor, attracted particular
scrutiny for his comments because of his medical
background.
Hillary Clinton waded into the firestorm late on
Monday, tweeting that “The science is clear: The
earth is round, the sky is blue, and vaccines work.
Let’s protect all our kids.” Her statement echoes
recent comments from President Barack Obama,
who said in an interview with NBC News that the
science is “indisputable” and “you should get your
kids vaccinated.”
And Dr. Ben Carson, a former pediatric
neurosurgeon, broke from his fellow GOP
candidates on Monday and told Buzzfeed that
“certain communicable diseases have been
largely eradicated by immunization policies in this
country and we should not allow those diseases to
return by forgoing safe immunization programs, for
philosophical, religious, or other reasons when we
have the means to eradicate them.”
The unfolding controversy threatens to turn
vaccinations into an election issue. But making
measles into election fodder comes with some
risks. Medical experts are wary about the recent
vaccine controversy stemming from potential
presidential contenders. They say that
approaching vaccine safety as if there are two
equal sides to the debate gives anti-science
conspiracies too much credibility.
Seth Mnookin, an MIT professor who
has authored a book about the myth that vaccines
are linked to autism called The Panic Virus, told
the Washington Post that the latest remarks from
Christie and Paul “basically fail at the first duty of a
politician, which is to calm his constituents in
moments of irrational crisis.” He called their
statements about vaccines “incredibly, incredibly
irresponsible.”
Writing in the Daily Beast on Monday, one
pediatrician argued that “clueless politicians” have
made his job even harder. “Between them, Sen.
Paul and Gov. Christie have left a shameful mark
on their party’s prospects in two years. Neither of
them have any business being in charge of
American public health policy,” the doctor, who
writes under a pseudonym, concluded.
Controversy over vaccines has flared up during
previous elections, too. During the 2012
presidential race, GOP contender Michele
Bachmann attacked one of her opponents, Texas
Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX), for mandating that girls in
his state receive the recommended doses of the
HPV vaccine.
The medical community sharply chastised
Bachmann for stoking unfounded fears that the
HPV vaccine, which helps prevent a range of
cancers, could lead to “mental retardation.” But
the damage was done—Perry publicly reversed
his position on vaccine, and public health experts
lamented the potentially negative effects of the
bad press. The United States’ HPV vaccination
rates are still extremely low, and about a quarter
of parents surveyed by the CDC in 2013 said they
don’t believe the immunization is necessary for
their kids.
Visiting Marissa Alexander
By Barbara Nehmad, Member, South Jersey NOW
In May 2012, 31-year-old African American
Marissa Alexander was prosecuted for aggravated
assault with a deadly weapon for firing a warning
shot toward the ceiling after her husband attacked
her and threatened to kill her. She received a
mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years in
prison.
Since January 21st of this year, when I visited
Ms. Alexander in her Jacksonville Florida jail, I
- 6 - Equal Write
have been struggling over what to write about it.
While not wanting to betray any confidences, I do
wish to share the experience of meeting her with
the NOW community, so I've decided to write my
own experience of it, rather than "reporting" a
detailed conversation.
When I reached the visitor area to speak to Ms.
Alexander on the phone through a glass wall, she
immediately knew who I was, even though there
were three other people there to visit other
prisoners. Having never seen a close up photo of
her, I did not recognize her. I honestly had no clue
what would be the appropriate things to say—and
how to explain why I was there to visit—other than
to say that we were all supporting her.
To my surprise, she immediately welcomed me
with a smile and made me feel as if she were
hosting me in her home. She knew nothing about
me, other than that I was a supporter. When I
expressed my discomfort, she told me that she
naturally welcomed visits from all her supporters. I
told her that I was a member of NOW NJ, and that
we had donated to her fund. She told me how truly
blessed she was for all the support she was
receiving—she'd even received international
letters of support.
What followed was one of the most comfortable
conversations I've had with someone I’d just met.
For an hour we shared stories of common
viewpoints and experiences about abusive men,
the legal system, and our attitudes in dealing with
them. I learned facts of her case that I hadn't read
in the news reports, which only made me feel
even more compatible with her, and more
admiring of her and of how gracious, courageous
and strong she was. We talked like friends, we
made each other laugh, and she told me how
funny it was that I’d thought she'd be able to eat
the Christmas candy (Peeps) I’d mailed her. (She
remembered that they were "red velvet," so she at
least heard about it!) I asked if our phone call was
being listened to, and she said that it was. Once
again, I was reminded of the routine privileges
which I take for granted.
She told me that she had accepted the hand
that was dealt her, but that she was going to use
her time under house arrest as productively as
possible. She wanted us to know that she is doing
fine—and looking damn good as well!
When I asked what NOW, specifically, could do
for her, she gave me an infectious smile and said
we could throw a party on her release date and
send her the pictures. And she meant it. Happy
January 27th, Marissa—you will always be in my
prayers.
