1. Jacoby implies that permitting prosecution of persons on obscenity charges will lead eventually to censorship of “open discussion” of important issues such as “rape, abortion, menstruation, contraception, lesbianism” (para. 9). Do you find her fears convincing? Does she give evidence to support her claim? (“A First Amendment Junkie”)
2. What do you make of the following argument? If women in the military should be treated exactly the way men are, why, if there is a national draft, should the draft be limited to males?
