       2019., In association with The Rosen Pub. Group, : In association with The Rosen Pub. Group Call No: 363.46 NEW   Edition: 1st ed.    Availability:1 of 1     At Location(s) Series Title: Changing perspectives (New York Times Educational Publishing)Summary Note: "Although abortion was officially decriminalized in the United States by the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, perspectives on abortion have always been, and remain today, radically different from state to state and person to person. Religion, access to birth control, the development of women's health care, and institutions such as Planned Parenthood are all at play in the public understanding of abortion. With recent changes in the Supreme Court causing uncertainty for the future of abortion access, the debate between pro-choice and pro-life advocates blazes on. Through this collection of articles, readers will discover stories of women's individual experiences, public protests, and groundbreaking U.S. legislation"--Provided by the publisher.

       2020., New York Times Educational Pub. Call No: 305.42 BIR   Edition: 1st ed.    Availability:1 of 1     At Location(s) Series Title: Changing perspectives (New York Times Educational Publishing)Summary Note: "Birth control has existed in many forms over the course of history, but in the United States, the term itself was not in popular discourse until 1914. At that time, it was illegal to even distribute information about birth control. In the 1950s, the first oral contraceptive, known simply as "the pill" was developed. It was approved for use in the United States in 1960, and the uphill battle for religious and political approval began. This compilation includes New York Times articles that span a period of more than one hundred years. They provide vital context on birth control to those who want to know how we arrived at the medical, social, and political moment of today. Media literacy terms and questions are included to engage readers and activate critical thinking skills" -- Publisher.

Call No: 364.66 DEA   Edition: 1st ed.    Availability:1 of 1     At Location(s) Series Title: Changing perspectives (New York Times Educational Publishing)Summary Note: Despite human rights organizations' and the United Nations' calls to end the death penalty, the United States continues to use it, placing it in an unusual grouping with China, Iran, and Saudi Arabia, among others. Yet, a 2018 Pew Poll reflected that most Americans still support capital punishment. This Times anthology includes over a century of perspectives on the subject, covering the advent of the electric chair and lethal injection, Supreme Court decisions on capital punishment's constitutionality, and today's renewed challenges to the death penalty in light of racial disparities in sentencing. Media literacy questions and terms will challenge readers to further analyze reporting styles, devices, and the controversial subject of the death penalty.
