Abstract
This paper focuses on the political aspects surrounding contraception and abortion in the 19th century. The author of this paper discusses the Comstock law which referred to the legislation introduced and passed by Anthony Comstock in 1870 that prohibited the mailing of birth control information and products. This paper also examines the foundation and impact of the anti-abortion movement in the United States.
From the Paper
"Beginning in the 1830s, Brodie found reproductive control became a commercial enterprise in the expanding market economy of Jacksonian America. Information about the safety, morality, and effectiveness of various methods became a part of public "discourse." The archives contain a wealth of advice published in books and pamphlets, an extraordinary diversity of advertisements for products, drugs and literature, of business and credit-rating records dealing with reproductive control entrepreneurs, of druggists' records and catalogs."

Abstract
The paper discusses how in director Orson Welles cinematic masterpiece "Citizen Kane", the character of Charles Foster Kane (Welles) experiences many traumatic events that are linked to an obsession with his mother. It looks at how out of all these events, Kane's marriage to Susan Alexander, played by Dorothy Comingore, is the most disturbing, for it reflects some very dark motives on the part of Kane, the "spoiled rich kid" who inherited a fortune via the Comstock Lode. It shows how Kane's marriage to Susan, who was forced to live in a world that revolved around Kane and his obsessive behavior, collapses and makes her a free woman. It evaluates how Kane used Susan as a scapegoat in order to heal the wound left by his abandonment as a child, and through Susan's abandonment of Kane, his self-image and his massive ego are destroyed.
From the Paper
"The ultimate symbol of Kane's obsessive behavior occurs in the scene where Susan finally confronts her husband in the bedroom, where the famous "snowball" glass orb sits on Susan's dressing bureau. After she tells him that their marriage is over and leaves the bedroom, Kane smashes everything in the room--except the glass "snowball" which reminds him of his childhood in Colorado and his mother. This object encapsulates everything Susan stands for--her loneliness, rejection and the abuse thrown upon her by the insane Charles Foster Kane."
