Spaces of Conflict
By Lori A. Brown
A related series of questions one may ask include what is the value of design thinking for the greater public in terms of abortion and public space? What role could architects have in exploring overlooked spaces like abortion clinics and engaging in their design and security? How can design positively impact access? Although not explicitly aligned with the types of non-places theorized by the anthropologist Marc Augé, reproductive healthcare facilities have a certain affinity coinciding with what as he states “[n]on-places could be seen, approaching them from another vantage point, as the heirs to everything that has created discomfort or annoyance in the history of human spaces.”[iii] Although the spaces of abortion are not the creator of discomfort, the idea of these spaces and what they represent definitely fall within this categorization and the physicality of their existences clearly create discomfort for a large segment of the population.
One of the initial issues that drew me to this research was the intersection of a highly politicized and charged space being contested out in the public realm. Public space is critical in different ways for abortion clinics. Anti-choice protestors regularly exercise their first amendment freedoms by protesting out in front of abortion clinics across the United States. This right is part of the freedom individual citizens of this country have to publicly speak out against issues one is against and anti-choice protestors are protected under law to be able to do so. State and federal courts have ruled both in support and in opposition to certain abortion rights cases weighing free speech against abortion access. This has produced a variety of legislation differing dramatically from state-to-state controlling and manipulating the actual geography and physical boundaries around clinic properties, buildings and people’s bodies.[iv] This remains ongoing and just this past January 2014 the Supreme Court heard arguments challenging the constitutionality of the 35’ buffer zones around abortion clinics in the state of Massachusetts.[v]
[i] This essay is part of a larger research project recently published in Contested Bodies: Abortion Clinics, Women’s Shelters and Hospitals (Ashgate 2013).
[ii] “The United States Constitution.” (n.d.).
[iii] On the Move 2012.
[iv] Madsen v. Women’s Health Center (1994) upheld noise restrictions during certain times of certain days. The FACE law (1994) protects anyone exercising their right to reproductive services and First Amendment religious freedoms and makes unlawful to intentionally damage or destroy facility property or places of worship. Schenck v. Pro-Choice Network of Western New York (1997) upheld a 15-foot fixed zone around doorways and doorway entrances, parking lots entrances, driveways and driveway entrance of the clinic facilities. Hill v. Colorado (2000) upheld 100-feet fixed zone around health care facilities and 8 feet bubble zone around someone entering and exiting a clinic.
[v] See Valencia 2014, Barnes 2014, Mauro 2014 and Totenberg 2014 for coverage on this case.

Ensuring the depth of assignment ghostwriting https://www.lunwentop.net/assignment-daixie/ content requires joint efforts in multiple aspects such as topic selection and research, literature review, research methods, analysis and discussion, as well as structure and logic. In depth topic selection and research lay a solid foundation, rigorous literature review provides theoretical support, solid research methods ensure reliable data, thorough analysis and discussion reveal research significance, and clear structure and logic make the organization clear. By comprehensively applying these strategies, ghostwriters can write high-quality content that combines depth and academic value, helping international students achieve better academic results. At the same time, international students should actively improve their academic abilities and writing skills, gradually reduce their dependence on ghostwriting services through continuous learning and practice, and achieve self-improvement and academic success.icecream1 · Jul 31, 24 4:59 am
