1 00044036 Schroedel, Jean Reith. Peretz, Paul. A gender analysis of policy formation: the case of fetal abuse. Journal of Health Politics, Policy & Law. 19(2): 335-360, 1994 Summer. ibc In this paper we argue the value to policy research of taking a feminist perspective on policy issues. We show the development of fetal abuse as a policy issue and how the often unconscious patriarchal stance taken by those participating in the debate has led to fetal abuse being defined as an issue that arises from the negligence of women, when an equally good case can be made for male fetal abuse. We then show how this definition of the problem followed from the patriarchal belief systems of those who framed the issue. (journal abstract) [References: 80 refs.] Aggression. Alcoholism. *Fetus.

Doe v. City of New York. Federal Reporter, 3d Series. 15: 264-270, 1994 Jan 28 (date of decision). The plaintiff, John Doe, together with other former Pan Am Airlines employees, interviewed for a position with Delta Airlines. When he was refused a job, Doe filed a complaint with New York City's Human Rights commission charging that Delta discriminated against him because he was a single gay male suspected of being HIV positive. The Commission, Delta, and Doe reached a Conciliation Agreement that included a confidentiality clause providing that, except as required by law or with Doe's consent, any disclosure of the case would not reveal Doe's name. Despite the clause, the Commission issued a press release, published in various New York newspapers, that disclosed the terms of the Agreement. Doe alleged that the release contained sufficient information to identify him and reveal his HIV status. Doe sued New York City, in a U.S. district court, charging that his constitutional right to privacy had been violated by the public release of

the Agreement. The court dismissed the suit, stating that complaints filed with the Commission are, by the Administrative Code of NYC, a matter of public record. Doe appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals, Second Circuit. The appeals court held that Doe possesses a constitutional right to privacy or confidentiality of his medical condition and that it did not, as a matter of law, automatically become a public record. The lower court's decision was reversed and remanded to resolve, among other issues, whether the city had a substantial interest in issuing the press release that outweighed Doe's privacy interest.

North Western Reporter, 2d Series. 357: 332-341, 1984 Nov 2 (date of decision). The Minnesota Supreme Court affirmed a probate court's authorization for a conservator to order removal of a respirator sustaining the life of an irreversibly comatose 57-year-old male conservatee. The Supreme Court found that the lower court had the power to authorize removal and, in this case, that the conservatee's best interests were no longer served by the maintenance of life-support systems. In determining the conservatee's best interests, the court considered the conservatee's wishes as conveyed by two relatives, and it held that an individual's right to privacy, which includes the right to disconnect life-support systems, may be overridden only if the state's interest is compelling. The court record also included the reports of three area hospital ethics committees which supported removal of the respirator based on the patient's prognosis. [References: 4 fn.] Civil Rights.

Johnson Controls, Inc. Supreme Court Reporter. 111: 1196-1217, 1991 Mar 20 (date of decision). Johnson Controls, a battery manufacturing plant, instituted a policy barring women of child-bearing capacity from jobs involving actual or potential lead exposure exceeding the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standard. Employees affected by this policy sued under Title VII, which forbids sex discrimination in the work place. The

Supreme Court held that Title VII, as amended by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, forbids sex-specific fetal protection policies. Johnson Controls' policy discriminates against women by disregarding evidence of lead's effect on the male reproductive system. Further, Johnson Controls' defense that their policy was justified by an occupational qualification, here safety, fails as well because any qualification must be related to the essential interests of the business. As fetuses are neither customers nor parties whose safety is essential to battery manufacturing, fetal safety cannot justify the discrimination. *Employment. *Fetus. *Hazardous Substances. *Industry.
