After a recent posting on Face book, the debate by all the friends was fierce from both sides of the issue.

    Little Labours , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 140min
    A droll and dazzling compendium of observations, stories, lists and brief essays about babies. One August day a baby was born, or, as it seemed to Rivka Galchen, a puma moved into her apartment. Her arrival felt supernatural; she seemed to come from another world. And suddenly the world seemed ludicrously, suspiciously, adverbially sodden with meaning. But Galchen didn't want to write about the puma. She had never been interested in babies or in mothers before. Now everything seemed directly related to them, and she specifically wanted to write about other things because it might mean she was really, covertly, learning something about babies or about being near babies. The result is Little Labours, a slanted, enchanted miscellany. Galchen writes about babies in art (with wrongly shaped heads) and babies in literature (rarer than dogs or abortions, often monstrous); about the effort of taking a passport photo for a baby not yet able to hold up her head and the frightening prevalence of orange as today's chic colour for baby gifts; about Frankenstein as a sort of baby and a baby as a sort of Godzilla. In doing so she opens up an odd and tender world of wonder. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Laurel Lefkow. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/hcuk/002865/bk_hcuk_002865_sample.mp3.

    The Foetal Condition (eBook, PDF)
    Abortion is a contentious issue in social life but it has rarelybeen subjected to careful scrutiny in the social sciences. Whilethe legalization of abortion has brought it into the public domain,it still remains a sensitive topic in many cultures, often hiddenfrom view and rarely spoken about, consigned to a shadowyexistence. Drawing on reports gathered from hospital settings and in-depthinterviews with women who have had abortions, Luc Boltanski setsout to explain the ambiguous status of this social practice.Abortion, he argues, has to remain in the shadows, for it reveals acontradiction at the heart of the social contract: the principle ofthe uniqueness of beings conflicts with the postulate of theirreplaceable nature, a postulate without which no society wouldachieve demographic renewal. This leads Boltanski to explore the way human beings areengendered and to analyze the symbolic constraints that presideover their entry into society. What makes a human being is not thefoetus as such, ensconced within the body, but rather the processby which it is taken up symbolically in speech - that is, itssymbolic adoption. But this symbolic adoption presupposes thepossibility of discriminating among embryos that areindistinguishable. For society, and sometimes for individuals, thearbitrary character of this discrimination is hard to tolerate. Thecontradiction is made bearable, Boltanski shows, by a grammaticalcategorization: the "project" foetus - adopted by itsparents, who use speech to welcome the new being and give it a name- is juxtaposed to the "tumoral" foetus, an accidentalembryo that will not be the object of a life-forming project. Bringing together grammar, narrations of life experience and anhistorical perspective, this highly original book sheds fresh lighton a social phenomenon that is widely practised but poorlyunderstood.

    Mr. and Mrs. Kliene were founders of the Kliene Hospital for the Ailing. After their death, their will was probated, and everything was left in the jurisdiction of Doctor Slogg, whom they found trustworthy to continue the care of the hospital. Dr. Slogg, his wife, Mariee, and four children enjoyed the luxury of a beautiful chateau on a lake near the hospital.Although he was a man of integrity and protocol, he had never engaged himself in the spiritual life and beliefs of the deceased, so when the town senators and lawmakers approached him to build a wing in the hospital to accommodate unwanted pregnancies, Dr. Slogg and his wife consented to the request.Immediately, they began having nightmares of dead fetuses in boxes and babies screaming, "Don’t kill us." Despite the nightmares, they continued to conduct a series of abortions at the new wing of the hospital, but years later, another law was instituted to shut down the wing and cease the abortion procedures. The majority ruled to have the wing closed and all funding ceased. All the babies who were left to die in incubators were taken to the basement. It was then that rumors began to spread around the hospital of strangers in the basement. Dr. Slogg decided to go into the basement alone, and what transpired changed his life, his family, the town, and the hospital forever. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andrew Cox.

    In Bed with Susie Bright 663: Gay Marriage 'Yes', Birth Control 'No'? What Happened?, Hörbuch, Digital, 30min, (USK 18)
    The good news: gay marriage is making revolutionary gains. The bad news: abortions and birth control pills are harder to come by. Susie takes a look at the legal battles over reproductive rights and marriage equality to see what lessons we can learn from the court cases. At the heart of the issue is whether privacy trumps equality - or is it the other way around? Next, some narrators of audio erotica are saying "no" to work, because some of the stories are so cheesy and horribly written. This has inspired a new business model, exemplified by Erotica for a Better Tomorrow. It's a group of actors who have had enough with the dinosaur porn and billionaire romance spankings. They pledge to work on fantasy erotica that isn't regressive and violent. Then, it's "What's New on Audible". Susie has a great new audiobook to recommend for our listening pleasure. The Inheritor by Laura Antoniou, narrated by Elizabeth Jasicki, is the sixth book in the Marketplace series. Susie thinks the books are getting stronger with each sequel. Get ready to go on an emotional roller-coaster ride. Have a question or news story for Susie? You can send your confidential queries and comments to susie@susiebright.com.

    The Barefoot Lawyer: A Blind Man's Fight for Justice and Freedom in China , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 842min
    It was like a scene out of a thriller: one morning in April 2012, China's most famous political activist - a blind, self-taught lawyer - climbed over the wall of his heavily guarded home and escaped. Days later, he turned up at the American embassy in Beijing, and only a furious round of high-level negotiations made it possible for him to leave China and begin a new life in the United States. Chen Guangcheng is a unique figure on the world stage, but his story is even more remarkable than anyone knew. The son of a poor farmer in rural China, blinded by illness when he was an infant, Chen was fortunate to survive a difficult childhood. But despite his disability, he was determined to educate himself and fight for the rights of his country's poor, especially a legion of women who had endured forced sterilizations and abortions under the hated "one child" policy. Repeatedly harassed, beaten, and imprisoned by Chinese authorities, Chen was ultimately placed under house arrest. After nearly two years of increasing danger, he evaded his captors and fled to freedom. Both a riveting memoir and a revealing portrait of modern China, this passionate audiobook tells the story of a man who has never accepted limits and always believed in the power of the human spirit to overcome any obstacle. ungekürzt.

    I’ll Never Get Out of This World Alive , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 433min
    Doc Ebersole lives with the ghost of Hank Williams—not just in the figurative sense, not just because he was one of the last people to see him alive, and not just because he is rumored to have given Hank the final morphine dose that killed him. In 1963, ten years after Hank’s death, Doc himself is wracked by addiction. Since he lost his license to practice medicine, his morphine habit isn’t as easy to support, so Doc lives in a rented room in the red-light district on the south side of San Antonio, performing abortions and patching up the odd knife or gunshot wound. But when Graciela, a young Mexican immigrant, appears in the neighborhood in search of his services, miraculous things begin to happen. Graciela sustains a wound on her wrist that never heals, yet she heals others with the touch of her hand. Everyone she meets is transformed for the better, except perhaps for Hank’s angry ghost—who isn’t at all pleased to see Doc doing well. A brilliant excavation of an obscure piece of music history, Steve Earle’s I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive is also a marvelous novel in its own right, a ballad of regret and redemption and of the ways in which we remake ourselves and our world through the smallest of miracles. ungekürzt.

    Impossible Motherhood: Testimony of An Abortion Addict , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 489min
    Irene Vilar was just a pliant young college undergraduate in thrall to her professor when they embarked on a relationship that led to marriage - a union of impossible odds - and 15 abortions in 15 years. Vilar knows that she is destined to be misunderstood, that many will see her nightmare as an instance of abusing a right, of using abortion as a means of birth control. But it isn't that. The real story is part of an awful secret, shrouded in shame, colonialism, self-mutilation, and a family legacy that features a heroic grandmother, a suicidal mother, and two heroin-addicted brothers. It is a story that looks back on her traumatic childhood growing up in the shadow of her mother's death and the footsteps of her famed grandmother, the political activist Lolita Lebrn, and a history that touches on American exploitation and reproductive repression in Puerto Rico. Vilar seamlessly weaves together past, present, and future, channeling a narrative that is at once dramatic and subtle. Impossible Motherhood is a heartrending and ultimately triumphant testimonial told by a writer looking back on her history of addiction. Abortion has never offered any honest person easy answers. Vilar's dark journey through self-inflicted wounds, compulsive patterns, and historical hauntings is a powerful story of loss and mourning that bravely delves into selfhood, national identity, reproductive freedom, family responsibility, and finally motherhood itself - today, Vilar is the mother of two beautiful children. ungekürzt.
