Women In The World - The Abortion Suit that Could Change History

Today: Fearless Actress Takes on Pakistan, Judge Scraps Landmark Military-Rape Case, Married with Amnesia
The Daily Beast Women in the World

BATTLEGROUND

When Jennie Linn McCormack used an abortion pill to terminate her pregnancy, she wound up in jail. The 32-year-old unemployed mother of three lives in Idaho, where it is illegal for a woman to induce an abortion, so she enlisted her sister in Mississippi to order the pill on the Internet and mail it to her. When the police found out, she was arrested. The charges were later dropped, but her lawyer has filed a class-action lawsuit against Idaho—and says he is willing to take it to the Supreme Court. Nancy Hass reports on her riveting battle in Newsweek. To get involved in reproductive-rights campaigns, visit Planned Parenthood.

BOLD

Pakistani actress Veena Malik has inflamed the Indian subcontinent with a topless photo on the cover of this month’s issue of FHM India. Many Pakistanis are calling for the actress to be thrown in jail—or worse—as debates over shame and honor light up blogs. Inside the pages of the magazine, Malik calls on Pakistan to put an end to extremism. Now, it seems, the extremists are after her, writes Muslim activist Asra Nomani.

CONTENTIOUS

A closely watched class-action suit accusing former defense secretaries Robert Gates and Donald Rumsfeld of alleged inaction on rape in the military has been dismissed. The military’s defense rests on a 1950s law that says soldiers can’t sue for injury incurred while in the service—equating rape to injury. Attorney Susan Burke is seeking an appeal. Jesse Ellison reports.

TRIUMPH

What’s it like when your husband of nearly 25 years can’t remember you? Three years ago, Joan Bolzan found herself in this painful position when her husband, Scott, fell in his office and woke up with profound retrograde amnesia. In that simple accident, the former NFL player and business owner lost all 46 years of his memory, including world history, the kids, his family, and his wife. In a moving essay, Bolzan describes the unthinkable challenge of winning her husband’s love anew.

EXTREME

Sparking outrage and horror, Saudi Arabia beheaded a woman Monday for practicing magic and sorcery—a banned practice in the ultra-conservative kingdom. Amina bin Abdulhalim Nassar was executed after reportedly claiming she could treat illnesses with witchcraft, according to the interior ministry. Another woman was beheaded in October for allegedly killing her husband by setting fire to his home. Saudi Arabia has beheaded 73 people this year.
