Women have never been so empowered about having control over their own bodies. But, of course, many people don’t believe that a woman should be in control of her own body. Anya Alvarez, a college senior, posted on Facebook about a recent terrifying experience she had. She was having sex with a guy when she realized that not only had he taken off the condom, but he had also removed her Nuva Ring. She confronted him, bolted, and later sent him an email explaining how blatantly disrespectful his actions were.

Smith. Civil forfeiture, the practice in which the police seize cars, money and other kinds of property that they say has some connection to crime, can raise various legal and policy issues — from property rights to due process.  The question in Alvarez was the basic one of whether people seeking to get their property back are entitled to a prompt hearing before a judge.

Smith, a case about civil forfeiture in which Cato filed an amicus brief.  Civil forfeiture, the practice in which the police seize cars, money and other kinds of property that they say has some connection to crime, can raise various of legal and policy issues — from property rights to due process.  The question in Alvarez is the basic one of whether people seeking to get their property back are entitled to a prompt hearing before a judge.  Illinois’ forfeiture law allows the State to wait as long as six months before having to prove the legitimacy of the seizure, which proceeding may then be delayed indefinitely for “good cause.” The six plaintiffs in Alvarez — three of whom wer...
