Speak Up Las Cruces: Walt and Shirley Talk About Leaked Supreme Court Abortion Ruling (May 4, 2022)5/4/2022
Co-hosts Walt Rubel and Shirley Baca discussed the leaked Supreme Court draft ruling on abortion rights.
The recent federal court ruling to relieve the state from judicial oversight of its mental health system stemming from the Jackson lawsuit of 1987 is a huge victory for Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, state officials and taxpayers. The governor estimates that the case has cost the state $80 million during the last three decades.
The federal class action lawsuit was filed against the state by parents of those with developmental disabilities who were being held at state-run institutions in Fort Stanton and Los Lunas. The court found 18 different constitutional violations being committed at those facilities, and ordered the state to enter into corrective action. That corrective action continued, even after the two centers were shut in the 1990s. Guest host Greg Smith talked to local artists Ana M. Uranga and Maria Lopez about their work and the Water and Women exhibition. The exhibit will be available for viewing from May 2 -27, 2022, at the Doña Ana Arts Cultural Center located at 250 W Amador.
Lopez is a figurative painter focusing on the female form, and Uranga leans toward impressionism in her landscape paintings that often include water features. These artists are both retired teachers turned full-time painters. Delightful thinker and sometimes co-host Keith Whelpley, treats us to an inquiry about pride, arrogance, ignorance, and humility. The conversation explores attitudes and ways of thinking that encourage the ease and gentle wisdom of humility - or the destructive dynamics of ignorance, arrogance, and self-centered pride.
Stuart Kelter interviews Jonathan Reisman, a doctor of internal medicine, pediatrics, and emergency medicine, who recently published his first book, The Unseen Body: A Doctor’s Journey Through the Hidden Wonders of Human Anatomy. With the excitement of an explorer, the book recounts his hard-won medical knowledge with the flair of a poet, the attention to narrative detail of a journalist, the adroitness of skills enhanced by unusual interests pursued before medical school, and the wisdom to notice and appreciate the patterns that the human body shares with the rest of the natural world. He has practiced medicine in the most extreme latitudes, both north and south, as well as extreme altitudes in Nepal. He has worked in Kolkata’s slums and with the Oglala Sioux in South Dakota, and heads a non-profit to improve healthcare and education in India. His writing has appeared in the New York Times, Slate, and the Washington Post.
