why do we need birth control? that is kind of amazing. >> singer said the key to birth control is control and that was the key to the birth-control pill putting women in control. at that point you could say it's great but the women had no control over so that was a big difference for her. as far as the church goes it was interesting if the church approved the birth control pill and held the line on abortion. it might've made a big difference in terms of how the flock would stay with them on these issues. what happens is most women begin to follow john rock. i have this one area that i don't observe or agree with and rock turns out to have been the advanced troops. women start following him. he's a scout and women start following his approach and start leaving the church behind. >> host: and then too. it was the beginning of the catholic -- cafeteria catholicism. you take what you want. i got a letter from someone who said well i am a catholic so i oppose abortion so i decided i had to use birth control very faithf

it's the place of birth. if you say israel, you believe that -- you're saying that you believe that person was born in israel. >> yes. well, seven years prior to the passage of this legislation, congress passed the jerusalem embassy act, and in the senate brief it's actually referred amicus brief, it's referred to in footnote 10, which had required that the embassy be moved to jerusalem and provided the president with a waiver -- >> and there was a waiver provided and every president has exercised the waiver. >> so this would be, though, recognizing, as was said before, that there is a disagreement, but not -- >> how could you tell me it's not a lie? you, the united states, are being asked to put on the passport that you believe the place of birth of this individual is israel, and the government and the executive has said, no, we don't think it was israel, we think it was jerusalem. >> but the speech is the speech of the individual who has self-identified. >> but the individual is not the one issuing the pass

it would merely be identifying the individual by their name, date of birth, police of birth, as all american passports of individuals identify -- >> so you would say that in justice kagan's hypothetical, maybe the letter that's required to be sent to every foreign head of state would be unconstitutional, but that doesn't mean that the passport is, because the passport is used primarily for purposes of identification and it's only the letter that makes it something else. >> correct, justice. >> you want us to write -- >> if you say that. justice kennedy, do you want us to say, in our opinion, that this is not a political declaration? >> this is not a political declaration. that's correct, justice kennedy. >> well, i'm not sure why congress passed it then. >> congress passed it to give these individuals the right to self-identify as they choose because individuals, in general, have that ability on their passport to choose -- >> i thought it was a federal crime to say that you were born in the united states when you weren't on an official document. so, why -- why is it that it's okay for congre

passport or consular birth abroad including birth designation does not amount to formal recognition by the united states of that designated location's sovereign status. this is a principle reason why congress's law authorizing jerusalem-born citizens to carry passports that say they were born in israel is a legitimate congressional exercise of congress's power to regulate foreign commerce -- >> suppose, suppose that the president and the secretary of state put on the passport, the place of birth, written it out, the place of earth on this jerusalem-born citizen passport has been listed as israel at the holier's request. this designation is neither an acknowledgement or declaration by the department of state or the president of the united states that jerusalem is within the borders of the state of israel? could the president under existing statute, and secretary of state under existing statute, put that statement on the passport? >> yes, your honor, they could put that statement on the passport. >> what do you, if congress passed a law saying that statement had to come off the passport,

and so, the number of births has increased, and we are talking about births and we are talking about residents of san francisco and it increased during the starting this decade, and last decade, resulting in an increasing enrollments in k12 that started increasing from the low point in 2008 and most of the enrollment changes from since 2008 canen explained by changes in birth numbers, the birth numbers have been an excellent predicter of subsequent enrollments and so specifically kindergarten enrollments have equaled to half of the number of births to san francisco, residents and, five years earlier. and falling birth numbers resulted in enrollment declines and beginning in the 2000s and to the middle of the decade and there was a slight decline and then starting in the elementary enrollment declined first followed by a decline in the middle and finally in high school enrollment but in 2005, the numbers of birth in san francisco rose causing an increase in elementary and recently a growth in middle school and high school enrollments are expected to begin rising. they measured the yie

that citizen allowed as a place of birth? >> if they wish to remove the country of birth and they wish to have the smaller entity, yes. >> is that for people who believe in independence? >> is enabling an individual choice to self identify. >> you are consistent on this, that it's not recognition. suppose the state department, and i think that this is recognition, if we defer to the state department's judgment to the government's executive judgment on that point and they say that this is recognition, and you say that it isn't recognition, if the congress really wants to test its power you can say that it must recognize israel as being a legitimate government of palestine. but it has not been on it since it has not come it seems to me that government argument comes. >> justice, you are correct but the way this balance is power and works as met the executive branch has the right to recognize this and if congress passes legislation that was signed into law, the position of congress comes the map you say this isn't recognition so

giving birth is a basic right. no one has the right to interfere with it, let alone a country and a government. the government must do everything to protect this basic right. it has no reason to violate this right and force its family planning policy upon its citizens." among critics' main complaints it puts the power of enforcing the policy in the hands of local family planning officials, who often depend on reaching population targets for raises and promotion... a climate they say is ripe for exploitation and abuse... local governments have the authority to slap fines on parents who violate the policy in a range anywhere from four to ten times the average local annual salary. poorer families who cannot pay these sums may find themselves targeted by corrupt officials using illegal means to achieve their ends. "such a large amount of money cannot be paid once and for all for many families. so the local officials have to go to the families many times to get the fines. each time it would will be a conflict between th

ten states changed or repealed their laws against birth control.f i can add the end of 1964 to that, it makes it 13. so, that's kind of a national movement. >> nearly 7 million american women are now taking oral contraceptives, and they are said to be almost 100% effective. >> the birth control pill meant suddenly women could finish their education, they could go in the workforce. and that is what radically changed, i think, life for women in america, was that ability to not only plan their families but to plan their lives. >> what happened when you went inside? >> well, when i went inside, it said "no women." >> what do you feel about this idea that they won't hire women? >> we feel that it's unfair, because we feel that women will work just as good as men and better. >> we're not hiring women at this particular time for the very simple reason. the jobs we have available are jobs that only men are able to do. >> when the 1964 civil rights act was going through congress, an amendment was inserted to make it illegal to discriminate on the basis of g

birth-control information was seen as a transgression of obscenity laws. information about birth control was seen as obscene, and therefore they shut the clinic down. but over time she kept at it, and she eventually she secured financial support from a philanthropically-minded woman, catherine mccormack, married to a wealthy industrialist in chicago. she was sympathetic. and mccormick provided the necessary or fundamental financing for researchers at inrk university massachusetts to develop a pill that could block ovulation and lead to -- and finally become the birth control pill, which was finally okayed in the 1960's. it would take time for the use to spread, but the challenge to the notion that women in marriage had to have children or had no control over the number of children she had, etc., really began obviously early than the 1950's, but the development of the pill, the financing and the ideas come together so that the pill becomes one of the things that is happening in the 1950's, as is kinsey's books, challenging this traditional notion of motherh

i suppose unless they ask for place of birth information. city of birth information. but unless they ask that, they won't know with the particular passport. what everyone will know, what foreign sovereigns will know, what the parties in this region will know is that thousands of times the executive branch is issuing passports that contradict our official recognition position. >> general, when i travel abroad, and come back to the united states, or when i go to a foreign country, and they are stamping my passport, do they have forms that require you to identify the city? >> i am not aware they do, your honor. i don't know the answer to that. i'm not aware they do. >> i know that some of them do. i know that some do. >> they may well. i do think the essential problem here with it what 214 does is that it tells the executive to communicate a message that the executive believes contradicts our position and undermines the president's credibility as our soul spokesman in matters of diplomacy. there is not an issue on which the president's credibility could be more important

during to go into uncharted waters, we will meet some men who are choosing to experience what child birthost feels like. ♪ the turkish prime minister is in irbil to meet people in northern iraq and they held talks with the prime minister al-abbadi and the turkish prime minister met with the kurdish president, what did they talk about? >> well the press conference afterwards was very positive, again a similar type of language to the language yesterday with al-abbadi and saying the relationship was renewed and moving forward but again it was only two things people were interested and really the only two things being discussed was security and energy. on the energy front turkey is a big customer of kurdish oil, that was discussed, saying the turks were going to receive the oil they were promised and this is important because turkey doesn't produce any of its own energy requirements and they have to import it and the prime minister said he was willing to act, turkey was acting as a broker between the kurds and baghdad that may arise in the future and actually have done it in the past and we a

, no low birth rate.his leads to many conditions, bronco pulmonary dysplasia which is a respiratory infection and not to mention the retinopathy of prematurity which is visual issues with the child. if we know that marijuana causes early birth -- for example, premature births, and we know premature births are linked to these conditions, the audience needs to know there's no panacea. once these conditions are actually diagnosed, there's no panacea. >> another thing i want to throw in very quickly is the council needs to look at, number one, that we spend so much money in smoking cessation programs. now we're trying to put another smoke producing, potential habit produce activity on the market again. the $2 million we put into smoking cessation program, the 2015 budget is going to pale in comparison in terms of what we really need. >> we need to take a break and i want to bring in dr. barbara on this, you want o to respond. >> what we do mow is criminalization of marijuana has not reduced the availability.

he would also ban certain types of birth control. he's trying to wiggle away from his record. >> the affordable care act is a fairly complex and broad bill, but this is one aspect of it that falls more heavily on women than on men. unique among men. if you're going to do heart disease or lung disease, both men and women have hearts and lungs, but only women have wombs. has this an secured the affordable care act, yes or no? an affordable care act working or not. >> republicans are not doing what we expect them to do. they're not repealing the affordable care act. they're not making a big issue of it. democrats like udall are facing a backlash if they continue to insist on talking about issues for many voters this is distracting for many i, such as where are the jobs? >> there will be more "inside story" after this short break. women are earning more four-year degrees than men. they're entering classes in professional schools are slightly more female after being overwhelm ingly male throughout american history. will changes in society

this was a great age of the birth of the public opinion poll. george gallup starts a company in 1935 so 1942 they did a public opinion poll. one of the questions gallup asked in 1937 was that they woman were otherwise qualified to be president of the united states would you vote for her? i love the phrasing of that. he puts out this questionnaire to readers and it says even though a woman be allowed to join the justice society. >> my favorite is that i think this was marston's idea if they put wonder woman's photo in twice the subliminal tact. >> there's another question that says there are six different superheroes and they are all saying, that the speech bubble coming out of their mouths and they are all saying look for me to join the justice society and there's a ballot. which of us should be allowed to join the justice society? won the women's argues and one man's are mr. terrific, little boy blue and the gray ghost these total benchwarmers. and then on the ballot itself which have to cut out of the page of the comic book there is a big head
