How ‘Sherlock’ Made

Holmes Sexy Again

In t h e se c on d - se a son f i n a l e of

the BBC’s Sherlock, the detective hero

(played by Benedict Cumberbatch) leapt

off a roof Sherlock Holmes was

pro-nounced dead on the bloody sidewalk Then,

in the fi nal shot, as Martin Freeman’s

devot-ed Dr Watson grievdevot-ed by his grave, Holmes

appeared in the distance – very much alive

The episode set off a roaring

debate among fans leading up to the

show’s third-season premiere

(air-ing stateside January 19th on PBS)

“Everybody had their own theory,”

says the show’s co-creator, Steven

Mof at, who also runs the

reboot-ed Doctor Who “Every newspaper in

England had a theory!”

The cinematic 90-minute premiere kicks

of a season that plays like an orgy of wish

fulfi llment for fans The cases are as wild as

ever, but the relationship between Holmes and

Watson deepens In the second episode, the

hyperlogical Holmes has to deliver a best-man

speech at Watson’s wedding; riotous fl ashbacks

reveal the pair’s earlier soused adventures

“Holmes is a known substance abuser – he

injects cocaine in the original books,” says

Mof-fat “We thought: What about Sherlock drunk?

Getting absolutely pissed? I’d like to see that.”

The show’s global success – it’s a smash

in the U.K and a rapidly growing cult hit here, and 3 million fans watched the premiereonline in China – owes much to the chem-istry between Cumberbatch and Freeman

Fans have taken to writing homoerotic slash fiction about a Watson-Holmes romance

“Sherlock Holmes has always been a sex symbol,” says Moffat “The most attractive person in the room is not always the best-looking; it’s the most interesting.”

Holmes, as played by batch, isn’t always likable “He likes to think of himself as a high-

Cumber-ly functioning sociopath,” saysMof at “More accurately, he’s some-one who wants the excuse of being asociopath so that he doesn’t have to

do the things that bore him.”

The showrunner emphasizes that his Holmes isn’t a Vulcan with no emotions – he’s simply decided that things like sex and jokes would interfere with his deduction “It’s the decision of a monk, not an af iction,” Mof-fat says “It’s an achievable superpower.”

The imminent danger of Season Three is that Holmes’ icy facade might fi nally crack

“He is not wrong to be distrustful of hisemotions,” says Mof at “And he will learn this ruefully in the fi nal episode.” LOGAN HILL

cult-hit BBC series starring

Each year, SeaWorld brings

in top artists to help boost attendance at its Orlando park during the slow months

of February and March But 2014’s Bands, Brew and BBQ fest – which was set to feature concerts by Heart, Willie Nelson, Cheap Trick and more – has turned into

a PR nightmare The

docu-mentary Blackfi sh, which

reveals the horrifi c ment of orcas at SeaWorld, has caused eight of the 10 scheduled acts to drop out, leaving only Scotty Mc-Creery and Justin Moore on the books for the six-week

mistreat-concert series “Blackfi sh

really opened my eyes,” says Heart singer Ann Wilson, who pulled her band out of the concert series as soon as she saw the movie “What they do with the orcas is es-sentially slavery.” SeaWorld

is a billion-dollar business, and after months of relative silence, the company re-

cently took out

a newspaper ad characterizing

Blackfi sh as

“inaccurate.”

‘I found out it’s hard to press

guitar pedals in high heels,” says

Laura Jane Grace In May 2012,

following a lifelong struggle with

gender dysphoria, Grace – the singer of the

punk act Against Me! and formerly known

as Tom Gabel – came out as a transgender

woman in a Rolling Stone interview

“Coming out was really positive for me,”

she says, sitting with guitarist James

Bow-man by a hotel pool in North Hollywood

a few weeks before the release of Against

Me!’s sixth album, Transgender

Dyspho-ria Blues “But it doesn’t mean everything

in my life is worked out all of a sudden.”

Dressed down in a long-sleeve black

T-shirt and a knit cap, Grace seems happy

Since hormone therapy does not af ect the

voice, she sounds the same as ever “Being

totally absorbed in making a record doesn’t

leave a lot of time to do anything else,” she

says “I wake up, eat breakfast, hang out

with my kid for a second and then go to a

studio until 11:00 at night, six days a week.”

Even so, Grace describes her

life recently as “a whirlwind.”

A tree fell through the roof of

her Florida studio during a

bad storm A move to Chicago

with her wife and young

daugh-ter was marred by the theft of

$15,000 worth of guitars en

The band’s released new album started out as a col-lection of songs about

self-a trself-anssexuself-al tute When Bowman

prosti-se eme d per ple xe d early on, Grace – still presenting as male at the time – told him it was a concept album After she came out, ever y thing became clearer Grace says the anthemic “True Trans Soul Rebel” is about the fears that sur-round coming out as trans “You become more brave about presenting femme, but you’re still closeted, so you have nowhere to go,” she says “You end up in a weird motel

in the middle of nowhere, wandering down halls, hoping nobody sees you.”

Through it all, music has remained

a constant in Grace’s life “I’m a year-old transsexual felon who didn’t graduate from high school,” she says “My job opportunities are pretty nonexistent, but I’ve been playing guitar since I was eight years old This is what I’m going to

33-do with my life – even if that eventually means that I’m standing on a street cor-ner, busking for change.” GAVIN EDWARDS

woman put a strain on the band? “Sure,”

Grace says “But there were a lot of othercircumstances that made it more stress-

ful.” She cites the band’s rocky tenure on Sire Records for its past two albums “That’s what happens when you’re a punk band that signs to a major label,”

she says without bitterness

mid-1 965 se s sion s for Bob

Dylan’s electric turning

point, Highway 61

Revisit-ed, some of the studio

mu-sicians were having dinner Guitarist

Michael Bloomfield – a brash young

virtu-oso from Chicago who also played in the

Paul Butterfield Blues Band – asked the

others, “Are you going to be in a band Bob

forms to play this music? If you get the

chance, you should.” He quickly added,

“I’m not.”

“I thought, ‘That’s hilarious,’ ” recalls

organist Al Kooper, one of the sidemen at

that meal “Michael said he loved being in

a blues band, and nothing could unseat

him from that.” Kooper did tour briefly

with Dylan after the album was done “I

was 90 percent ambition, 10 percent

tal-ent,” he admits, laughing Bloomfield was

“the reverse – 90 percent talent, 10

per-cent ambition.”

The result: Almost 50 years later,

Bloomfield – the subject of a new

multi-disc anthology produced by Kooper, From

His Head to His Heart to His Hands,

re-leased by Columbia/Legacy – is rock’s

greatest forgotten guitar hero From 1965

to 1968, he was nothing less than the

fu-ture of the blues, charging the primal

forms and raw truths of his idols – B.B

King, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf – with

cutting-treble tone, breakneck

improvis-ing and incisive, melodic articulation on

a machine-gun series of classic records:

Dylan’s epochal single “Like a Rolling

Stone” and the Highway 61 LP; the

But-terfield band’s ’65 debut album and ’66

raga-blues thriller, East-West; and the

1968 Top 20 hit Super Session, a

dynam-ic jamming collaboration with Kooper

In 1966, Eric Clapton, on the verge of his

own stardom, called Bloomfield “music

on two legs.”

But in the Seventies, as Clapton

ascend-ed to sold-out arenas, Bloomfield slippascend-ed

into twilight in San Francisco, working

with low-profile bands and making label records while wrestling with chron-

small-ic insomnia and heroin On February 15th,

1981, three months after reuniting with Dylan onstage, an appearance that is a

previously unissued highlight of From His

documentary, Sweet Blues, directed by

Bob Sarles “It’s an instructional, pleasant

way to hear someone who did something

marvelously.”

In a 2009 Rolling Stone interview,

Dylan remembered Bloomfield as “the

guy that I always miss He had so much

soul And he knew all the styles.” From

His Head opens with proof: tracks from

Bloomf ield’s early-1964 audition for

Dylan’s original producer, John

Ham-mond, a display of roots, speed and tonal

grip that draws from country and

rocka-billy as much as Robert Johnson

“Michael was organic – he played

di-rectly from his heart into an amp,” says

keyboard player Barry Goldberg, who met

the guitarist in high school in

Chi-cago and was in Bloomfi eld’s

psy-chedelic-R&B big band the

Elec-tric Flag “When he shook a string,

it was like Otis Rush He had the

intensity in his soul He didn’t

need anything else.”

The fi rst disc in From His Head

shows Bloomfi eld’s prowess in full

revolutionary-blues bloom: his

blazing sidekick fl ourishes in an

outtake of Highway 61’s

“Tomb-stone Blues”; the fi ery, modal

as-cension in his soloing in

“East-West”; the slow-blues web of ache

and shriek in “Texas,” from the

Electric Flag’s 1968 LP A Long

Time Comin’ “Expression, pure

expression,” Bloomfield replied

when asked about his passion

for the guitar in a 1968 RS

inter-view “Without a guitar, I’m like

a poet with no hands.” He was

only 24

“He put tremendous force into

what he was doing,” says

pia-nist Mark Naftalin, who played

with Bloomfi eld in the Butterfi eld

band, then on many post-’68 gigs and

sessions “But that’s not the same as

am-bition He turned away from possibilities

of success ritually.”

The classic example is Super Session,

Bloomfield’s only hit record under his

own name Tracks from that album,

out-takes and associated live material –

ar-guably some of his most sublime,

furi-ously poetic soloing on record – comprise

From His Head’s second CD Guitarist

Jimmy Vivino, the bandleader on Conan

and a lifelong Bloomfi eld disciple, cites

the gleaming tangle of vocal-like

phras-ing and diamond-hard melodic certainty

in “Albert’s Shuf e,” the opener on Super

Session, as the peak “The intro and fi rst

chorus are breathtaking,” he raves “And

it’s just a Les Paul Sunburst into a Super

Reverb amp with that Bloomfi eld tone –

no bass, volume all the way up And you

control it from the guitar.”

But Bloomfi eld is on only one side of the original LP He quit the sessions after one night of recording, leaving Kooper a note:

“Alan, couldn’t sleep Went home.”

Koop-er fi nished the album with Stephen Stills

“You know what it was in retrospect? chael wasn’t properly challenged by any-one,” Kooper says now “Even I didn’t want to take that position I’d rather be his friend.”

Mi-Bloomfi eld “was charismatic – people wanted to be around him, touch the hem

of his garment,” says Electric Flag singer Nick Gravenites, another lifelong friend from Chicago “He liked the attention But

he didn’t like idolatry He was looking for

a happy medium of people who liked good

music and enjoyed listening to him.”

Michael Bernard Bloomfi eld was born

on July 28th, 1943, in Chicago, on the wrong side of the blues His father, Har-old, ran Bloomfi eld Industries, a success-ful restaurant-supply fi rm The older of two sons, Michael rebelled against school, discipline and his family’s wealth, seek-ing solace and purpose in the music com-ing from the city’s black neighborhoods on the South and West sides

A grandfather, Max, owned a shop, and Bloomfi eld got his fi rst guitar there Born left-handed, he forced him-

pawn-self to play the other way around “That’s how strong-willed he was,” says Goldberg

“When he loved something so much, he just did it.”

Hanging out at the pawnshop,

Bloom-fi eld also “got a certain empathy, for people

on the skids, on the down and out, looking for $5,” Gravenites says “He got to know that kind of life.”

By the early Sixties, Bloomfi eld was a major part of Chicago’s blues scene Adept

on piano and acoustic as well as electric guitar, he recorded as a sideman with Sleepy John Estes and Big Joe Williams and jammed at black night spots with Wa-ters and Wolf before joining singer-harpist Butterfi eld’s band in early 1965 “Muddy called him his son,” Gravenites says of Bloomfi eld “Muddy knew

He didn’t call him his partner or buddy Believe me, that’s impor-tant It tells you something – that

it has nothing to do with show business It has to do with soul.”Bloomf ield also impressed Dylan when they first met at a local folk club, in 1963, an en-counter that led to Dylan’s phone call in ’65 asking Bloomfi eld to record with him in New York Kooper, who played organ on

“Like a Rolling Stone,”

actual-ly showed up for that session expecting to play guitar Then Bloomfi eld “walked in, sat down next to me, said hello and start-

ed warming up,” Kooper says “I’d never heard anybody that good, much less somebody my age I put

my guitar in the case and slipped

it under the chair He got rid of

me in fi ve minutes.”

A stubborn fallacy in

Bloom-fi eld’s legacy is that his gifts clined with his fame, as he be-came more reclusive and entangled with heroin, which he used in part to relieve the insomnia In the 1969-and-on tracks

de-on From His Head, the playing and

set-tings are less fl ashy but more earthy,

clos-er to the Delta blues, soul and gospel he loved Vivino recalls a Seventies gig in New York where Bloomfield “sat down with an acoustic guitar and played back-porch music all night He wasn’t throwing licks He played the way he felt.”

Goldberg believes Bloomfi eld ultimately resigned himself to his downward spiral

“His brain was on fi re – that’s what made him such a great guitar player,” Goldberg says “The fact that he couldn’t shut it of –

he wanted that peace so badly he took the chance” with drugs “But he left his mark.”Still, in that 2009 interview, Dylan wondered what might have been “I think he’d still be around,” he said of Bloomfi eld,

“if he stayed with me.”

This is Lemmy’s first visit back to the Rainbow in six months The last time was before a bout of heart trouble and bruis-ing last summer forced Motörhead off the road for the first time in years “There

is nothing weirder than having thing you are taken from you in one day – bingo,” he says Now he rides an exercise bike every day at his new condo nearby His drinking has slowed to a trickle, and the two packs of Marlboro Reds he used

every-to smoke each day are down every-to one or two cigarettes a day “Let’s face it – it isn’t as much fun,” says Lemmy “But it can’t be

as much fun if I die I don’t believe that’s much fun, either.”

Lemmy’s illness kept him quietly at home as Motörhead’s thunderous 21st album, Aftershock, brought in the band’s

best first-week sales in decades last tober A few months earlier, his friend and onetime songwriting partner Mick Farren had collapsed onstage in London while performing with the Deviants Far-ren never regained consciousness “There are worse places to go,” Lemmy says “It’s better than having tubes up your nose I’d much rather go dressed in my best, trying

Oc-to reach that last note.”

After being forced to cancel the rest of Motörhead’s European festival dates last July, Lemmy backtracked and tried to per-form for the 85,000 rock fans at the Wack-

en Open Air concert in Germany But he had to leave the stage after just a hand-ful of songs “We only did 38 minutes and

I was done,” he says “I was too tired I had

to come of.” Adds Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell, “It reminded us that this mountain of unwavering Lemm is actual-

ly a tiny bit mortal like we all are.”

Lemmy will give it another try on Motörhead’s upcoming European tour, kicking of in Glasgow in February and in-cluding a summer stop at Wacken to finish that incomplete set “I think it’s going to be really a joy, once I get back into it,” Lemmy says “Then it will be OK.”

He starts rifng on other rockers who have kept their edge without overindulg-ing, like Mick Jagger “Jagger’s straight –

he just gets married,” Lemmy says with a laugh “That’s how he spends his money.”Lemmy had his own season of hard par-tying, drinking and speed “I suddenly re-alized I was waking up in pools of other people’s vomit, and I had no recollection of them,” he says “That’s a bit much I’m not saying don’t have fun, don’t snort the oc-casional line – but don’t make it your life.”

34-year-old producer and

songwrit-er becomes obsessed by his

profes-sional projects – even to the detriment of his

love life “Music’s always rattling in my head,

constantly,” he says “It’s made for a lot of

un-successful relationships.”

What he looks for in

col-laborators is “a sense that

people I’m working with

are as sick as I am.”

Three 2013 albums

on which he contributed

significantly – by

Vam-pire Weekend, Haim

fin-ished among Rolli ng

of the year, and he was

recently nominated for

a producing Grammy

alongside stars such as

Col-laborators appreciate the clarity he brings

to the studio “He was an important creative

partner,” says Vampire Weekend’s Rostam

Batmanglij “We had one song that was

real-ly complicated, and Ariel was just like, ‘If you

believe in this, how about we record it live?’ ”

Rechtshaid grew up as a “snot-nosed age skater” in Van Nuys, California (Even he’s been known to trip over his complicated last name: In the first grade, he aced a spelling quiz, but misspelled “Rechtshaid.”) His par-ents lived in Israel before moving to the West Coast, and he traces his intensity to his moth-

THE ALBUMS THAT MADE HIM A STAR

Lemmy sometimes had to sit down while

he sang But you can’t tell from the final

takes, which snarl like the best of

Motör-head “I know when we do turkeys,” he

says, “and I know when we don’t.”

Lemmy says he worries about the

future of his beloved rock & roll as his

gen-eration eases past middle age into

retire-ment or worse He sees few younger artists

committed enough to the tradition to carry

it into the future “There’s nobody now,”

he says “There is going to be a huge hole,

and nobody to step into it.” You can see the

concern on his face “I think it’s important music It’s the constant music of this gen-eration and the last one and the last one.”

He worries less about the audience The fan letters have only increased since he got sick, many addressed to him at the Rain-bow “Oh, man, the kids were unbelievable when I got sick,” he says “No bitching It was all ‘Take your time, get better Don’t worry, we’ll wait for you Get well.’ ”Lemmy looks up from his drink and sees

a familiar face “Hey, it’s Mario,” he says

as 89-year-old Mario Mag lieri – the tired co-founder of the Rainbow and Sun-set Strip landmarks like the Roxy and the

re-Whisky – ambles over, white-haired and walking with a cane

“You been sick or somethin’?” Mag lieri says, joking around like he still owns the place “I haven’t seen you in so long You been all right? I sent nurses to your house with scotch Can I do something for you?”Lemmy laughs “Just stay alive.”Soon, the rocker’s girlfriend arrives to take him back to the condo with the new pool table – a gift from his friend Slash He’s got more rest ahead, but things are looking up As Lemmy steps away from the bar, he types a name back onto the video-game machine’s high-score list: lemmy.

LEMMY

Meet the quiet ace who’s worked

with everyone from Vampire

Weekend to Justin Bieber

Rechtshaid

in Los Angeles

Urban recorded a

banjo-fied “Almost Saturday

Night” with John

Foger-ty, duetted on the Beatles’ “Don’t

Let Me Down” with John Mayer,

backed Steven Tyler on “Walk

This Way” and traded verses

on “Respectable” onstage with

the Rolling Stones His

sev-enth album, November’s Fuse,

is packed with electronic

fl ourishes, plus a

collabora-tion with Stargate, producers

of Rihanna and Beyoncé hits

So it’s hard not to wonder: Is

the Strat- toting Aussie sure he’s a

country act? “There’s a long history

of artists who are too rock for country

and too country for rock,” says Urban,

who returns for a second season as an

American Idol judge this month “I don’t

really think in terms of labeling as much

as I used to I just create – but there’s a

defi nite country foundation in most all

of what I do.”

Ever consider quitting country for rock?

Yeah, I was about 15 Some buddies of

mine were in this band Fractured

Mir-ror, and they asked if I’d play guitar It was

around 1983, and I’m playing Saxon,

Scor-pions, Judas Priest, Ozzy Osbourne in this

band But I had also just discovered Ricky

Skaggs and became, like, obsessed with

learning chicken-pickin’ stuf from his

gui-tarist, Ray Flacke So they’d throw a solo to

me and I’d play chicken-pickin’ licks through

a Marshall stack It’s the only band I’ve ever

been fi red from

You said Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey’s Idol

fi ghts were nothing compared to gigging in

Australia Was it like the Blues Brothers’ club?

Very much like that, yeah! A massive fight

broke out one night in this place we were playing,

and it got bigger and bigger on the dance fl oor The

DJ booth was suspended up in the roof, with a

movable ladder so people couldn’t go up there

re-questing songs In the middle of this fi ght, the DJ

threw down the ladder, and the band scaled it, and

we were hunkered down in that booth looking at this

massive fi ght below until the police came Totally crazy

Is it hard to maintain a loose, bar-band vibe in your arena shows?

I try to let the tour always move, so it’s not exactly the same night after night But it’s tricky, because certain things work! It’s like that great quote, “The only real music is when a baby fi rst cries, and after that, the baby knows Mom will come running, so it’s all show

business [laughs].”

Country’s sonic boundaries are shifting right now

I look at something like [the 1973 hit]

“Swamp Witch” by Jim Staf ord, with

wick-ed wah-wah guitar in there, and if you say, “Well, what would be the 2014 ex-ample of that?” that’s what Eric Church

is doing with The Outsiders, that’s what I’ve done with Fuse It’s meant to be a

little bit jarring, to create that sion that a dog has when it hears some-thing weird And then in a few years’ time, it’s so acceptable

expres-How do you know if you push it too far?

A lot of times, when you try to take country to a new place, it’s like, “You’re trying to put lipstick

on Grandpa It’s not working.” But there’s a way to do it where

it feels right

Where Grandpa looks sexy?

[Laughs] For me, sometimes

I wonder if I could go even further That’s what the next record’s for

Do you and your wife, Nicole Kidman, have compatible musical tastes?

Nic’s expanded my music

a lot – there’s an indie, cool spirit to the music she responds to.What did you take from jamming with the Stones?

They still have a thing nobody else has Mick is extraordinarily inspiring He and Springsteen show how you can really keep

it together and be an explosive performer

“Doom and Gloom” was a great record I hated that it didn’t get more traction

You seem so comfortable playing with Fogerty Do you almost see Creedence’s hits as country?

It’s undeniably drawing from a Southern place It’s interesting, as we’re looking at the passing of Phil Everly “Bye Bye Love” was

a Number One country hit, it was a pop hit,

it was an R&B hit There weren’t several ferent mixes, you know? It’s like, “Wow, why aren’t we still having this common space?”You’ve been credited with getting rid of the mandatory cowboy hat in country Ever try one?

dif-Yeah, but I had extremely long hair, and

I just went, “Nah I’m all hat, no cattle.” I remind people, Johnny Cash didn’t wear one, George Jones didn’t wear one

Was your hair just too excellent to hide?

It was just that I had some!

FOR ROLLING STONE EVENTS, INSIDER EXCLUSIVES AND

In the excellent new

season of Girls, somebody

confronts Lena Dunham’s

Hannah Horvath with a damn

good question: “Hannah, why

don’t you place one crumb of

basic human compassion on

this fat-free muffin of

socio-pathic detachment? See how

it tastes.” No chance As Girls

heads into its third outing,

Hannah remains firmly

com-mitted to her narcissistic

lit-tle joke of a life She still

fum-bles around New York with her

crew of fellow emotional

crip-ples, blurting out overshares

like “I was playing Truth or

Dare the first time I got

fin-gered!” Hannah can’t figure

out the details of human

com-passion any more than she can

get a real job or operate a Q-tip

But all that sociopathic

detach-ment tastes fine to her

In a lot of ways, Girls has

the same premise as Downton

Abbey Both present a clique

of dilettantes giving speeches

about how their tiny world is

changing They grapple with

the alienating efects of

tech-nology, whether that means

swivel chairs or FaceTime

Hannah is really a Dowager

Countess for our time, which

means instead of complaining

about the servants and musing

about King Canute, she

pon-ders how to pronounce Ryan

Phillippe’s name

By now, Girls has stuck

around long enough for a third

season – which means that,

like Hannah and her friends,

it’s reached the point where

it’s picked up a whif of adult

despair But that just makes

the laughs sting a little

hard-er. Even Hannah realizes her

self- absorbed art-brat routine

might have an expiration date

now that she’s pushing 25

As the new season begins, some of the Girls gang are aging

more deftly than others son Williams’ Marnie has de-veloped into a surprisingly in-teresting character, especially now that she’s unloaded her in-sufferable boyfriend Charlie

Alli-Zosia Mamet’s Shoshanna is still a whirlwind of comic bab-ble But Jessa’s (Jemima Kirke)

precocious-bitch routine has gotten very hard to take As if to make up for Charlie’s absence,

we meet Gaby Hoffman as Adam’s sister Like, wow – she’s the most unbearable whiner yet, on a show full of them

As usual, people who pect TV to resemble real life will marvel at Girls’ fantasy

ex-boho setting, which is

identi-fied as North Brooklyn yet may

as well be 123 Sesame Street And there’s a hilariously wide-of-the-mark tour of magazine culture: Hannah gets a writ-ing gig where her only duty

is working on a dating cle Yet she gets a desk, health insurance and free food from the “snack room.” She wonders

listi-if this cushy llisti-ife means she’s selling out to the Man, where-

as viewers are more likely to wonder whether she’s slipped through a wormhole back to

1998 (Four magazine ees working on one listicle? And a snack room? What is this, a Just Shoot Me! rerun?)

employ-Yet the emotional realism of

Girls is all too accurate These

hipsters don’t ask much from life – but damn, they hate work-ing at it So they settle for their familiar miserable routines, re-peating the same old mistakes because it’s less hassle than try-ing something new They hope their gigs will eventually add up

to some kind of job, just as they hope their half-assed hookups will coalesce into an adult love life But, you know, whatever Hannah boasts, “I’m used to people being belittled by, like,

my rapid-fire mind pace.” Only

by now, she’s starting to get the suspicion she might not have much to say And that doesn’t taste good at all

gretch-en Whitmer, the charismatic 42-year-old

minori-ty leader of the Michigan Senate, stood before her

colleagues in the Statehouse in Lansing, and told

them something she’d told almost no one before

“Over 20 years ago, I was a victim of rape,” she

said “And thank God it didn’t result in a

pregnan-cy, because I can’t imagine going through what I

went through and then having to consider what

to do about an unwanted pregnancy from an attacker.”

No one in the gallery said a word Instead, with just hours to

go before it broke for Christmas recess, Michigan’s

overwhelm-ingly male, Republican-dominated Legislature, having held no

hearings nor even a substantive debate, voted to pass one of the

most punishing pieces of anti-abortion legislation anywhere in

the country: the Abortion Insurance Opt-Out Act, which would

ban abortion coverage, even in cases of rape or incest, from

vir-tually every health-insurance policy issued in the state Women

and their employers wanting this coverage will instead have to

purchase a separate rider – often described as “rape insurance.”

Whitmer, a Democrat known as a fierce advocate for women’s

issues, described the new law as “by far one of the most

misogy-nistic proposals I’ve seen in the Michigan Legislature.”

And it’s not just Michigan Eight other states now have laws

preventing abortion coverage under comprehensive private

in-surance plans – only one of them, Utah, makes an exception for

rape And 24 states, including such traditionally blue states as

Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, ban some forms of abortion

cover-age from policies purchased through the new health exchanges

While cutting insurance coverage of abortion in disparate states

might seem to be a separate issue from the larger assault on

re-productive rights, it is in fact part of a highly coordinated and

so far chillingly successful nationwide campaign, often

fund-ed by the same people who fund the Tea Party, to make it

hard-er and hardhard-er for women to thard-erminate unwanted pregnancies,

and also to limit their access to many forms of contraception

All this legislative activity comes at a time when overall

sup-port for abortion rights in the United States has never been

high-er – in 2013, seven in 10 Amhigh-ericans said they supported

uphold-ing Roe v Wade, the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision

that legalized abortion But polls also show that more than half

the country is open to placing some restrictions on abortion:

In-stead of trying to overturn Roe, which both sides see as

politi-cally unviable, they have been working instead to chip away at

reproductive rights in a way that will render Roe’s protections

virtually irrelevant

Since 2010, when the Tea Party-fueled GOP seized control

of 11 state legislatures – bringing the total number of lican-controlled states to 26 – conservative lawmakers in 30 states have passed 205 anti-abortion restrictions, more than

Repub-in the previous decade “What you’re seeRepub-ing is an

underhand-ed strategy to essentially do by the back door what they can’t do through the front,” says Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, which is currently litigat-ing against some of the new anti-choice laws “The politicians and organizations advancing these policies know they can’t come right out and say they’re trying to efectively outlaw abortion, so instead, they come up with laws that are unnecessary, technical and hard to follow, which too often force clinics to close Things have reached a very dangerous place.”

Last June, the right’s stealth attack on abortion rights came front-page news, when, in an attempt to block a vote on

be-a sweeping omnibus bill thbe-at included 20 pbe-ages of be-anti-be-abor-tion legislation, Texas state Sen Wendy Davis embarked on an 11-hour-plus filibuster in the Texas Statehouse Wearing rouge-red Mizuno running shoes and an elegant string of pearls, the blond, blue-eyed Davis, a onetime single mother and a graduate

anti-abor-of Harvard Law School, became an overnight symbol anti-abor-of what,

in many states, is a growing popular resistance to the vative anti-choice agenda But Davis’ filibuster failed to prevent the Texas Legislature from holding a special session in July to pass the bill, despite widespread public opposition

conser-This was the latest failed battle to protect reproductive rights

in a state that in the past few years has passed some of the est abortion restrictions in the country Thanks to the cumula-tive impact of Texas law, a woman seeking to terminate a preg-nancy must receive pre-abortion counseling to advise her of the supposed physical and emotional health risks, undergo an ul-trasound and view an image of her fetus as well as hear it de-scribed by her doctor, and then, in most cases, wait another 24 hours before having the procedure This assumes she can even find a clinic to go to Women’s-health centers have been shut-

ON ABORTION

While more Americans support upholding ‘Roe v Wade’ than

ting their doors all over the Lone Star State since 2011, when, in

a specific attempt to defund Planned Parenthood – which

op-erated only a portion of the state’s women’s-health clinics – the

Texas Legislature cut the funding to family-planning clinics by

two-thirds, eliminating access to low-price contraception and

other health services like breast exams and cancer screenings

for more than 155,000 women With the passage of the new

re-strictions last summer, a third of Texas’ remaining clinics

an-nounced they’d have to close or ofer fewer services If additional

measures go into efect this September, it could mean

potential-ly leaving just six clinics ofering abortions in a state of 26

mil-lion people, all of them in urban areas, and none in the entire

western half of the state

Much of the public outrage in recent years has revolved around

extreme measures, like proposed “personhood amendments” that

would have outlawed abortion outright, and banned many

com-mon forms of birth control, stem-cell research and in-vitro

fertil-ization But the anti-abortion movement’s real success has been

in passing seemingly innocuous regulations known as TRAP

laws (“Targeted Regulations of Abortion Providers”), which are

designed to punish abortion providers by burying them in tains of red tape, and, ultimately, driving them out of business Twenty-six states, including Texas, have laws on their books requiring that abortion clinics become mini surgical centers, a costly proposition that would require clinics to widen hallways, expand parking lots, modify janitorial closets or install surgical sinks and pipelines for general anesthesia – regulations most pro-viders say are unnecessary Four states currently (and four more may soon) require that the doctors performing abortions have ad-mitting privileges at local hospitals, which applies even in places where the nearest hospitals oppose abortion or are simply too far away to meet the state’s distance requirement Sixteen states re-strict medication-induced abortion; in 39 states, only licensed physicians – not their physician’s assistants or nurse practitio-ners – are permitted to hand out the drug Fourteen states ban its use via telemedicine, which is often the only way a woman in

“It’s a brilliant strategy to package these laws as just making sure abortion is ‘safe,’ [and] in many states, they’ve been able

to sell it that way,” says Eric Ferrero, VP of communications at

subject to similar restrictions, is about 20 out of 100,000

abortion rights grew out of the recognition at the

high-est levels of the pro-life movement that their previous

message – equating abortion with murder – and the

ac-companying extremist tactics weren’t working “Twenty

years ago, we’d storm a clinic and close it down for a day – and

then I’d get thrown in jail,” says Troy Newman, the president of

Operation Rescue, the infamous Kansas-based anti-abortion

group that made its name during the 1980s and early 1990s

by blocking the entrances to clinics and holding noisy sit-ins

– a practice Congress outlawed in 1994 Other tactics, which

ranged from handing out pamphlets emblazoned with the image

of aborted fetuses, to “naming and shaming” the friends and

as-sociates of abortion providers, proved equally unfruitful “All

of that just made the community angry – at me, at the clinic,”

says Newman “And I hated that I don’t want to wave pictures

on the street just to piss people of I want to win.” So Newman

stopped the overt harassment, and settled on a new plan to push

for TRAP laws and document alleged abuses at abortion

clin-ics and report them to the authorities Today, there are only four

clinics of ering abortions in all of Kansas, which, like Michigan,

has its own version of the “rape insurance” law, and has also

im-posed myriad other restrictions, including the criminalization of

abortion after the fi fth month of pregnancy The so-called

“20-week ban” violates one of Roe’s central provisions, that a woman

has the right to an abortion until the fetus is viable outside of the

womb – roughly 24 weeks by today’s medical standards

None-theless, nine states currently impose the ban, basing it on a

the-ory that is widely disputed by medical groups, that a fetus is able

to feel pain at fi ve months

it during the third trimester This has allowed pro-life groups to strike a note that might on the surface seem reasonable, and as Newman points out, “once you start enforcing a second-trimester ban, the camel’s nose is in the tent.” Arkansas has banned abor-tion after 12 weeks North Dakota recently passed a law to crim-inalize abortion after six weeks, a point when many women don’t even realize they’re pregnant

Two Washington-based advocacy groups, the National Right

to Life Committee and Americans United for Life, are ble for much of the model legislation restricting abortion, as well

responsi-as for the grresponsi-assroots organizing that’s been needed to presponsi-ass it Of the two, AUL, which describes itself as both the legal arm and

“intellectual architect” of the movement, is chiefl y responsible for the most recent and highly successful under-the-radar strategy

“We don’t make frontal attacks,” AUL president and CEO

Char-maine Yoest told the National Catholic Register in 2011 “Never

attack where the enemy is strongest.” Some abortion-rights cates have compared AUL to the American Legislative Exchange Council, the secretive corporate-funded organization responsi-ble for many of the country’s voter-suppression and “Stand Your Ground” laws Each year, AUL sends state and federal lawmak-

advo-ers across the country a 700-page-plus “pro-life playbook,”

De-fending Life, which it describes as “the defi nitive plan for

coun-tering a profi t-centered and aggressive abortion industry, while

laying the groundwork for the ultimate reversal of Roe.” Among

its annual features is a 50-state “report card” on the state of anti-abortion legislation, as well as a step-by-step guide, Yoest

says, to help lawmakers “understand that Roe v Wade doesn’t

pre-clude them from passing common-sense legislation.”

While “each state has a dif erent scenario,” says Yoest, AUL’s central strategy is to make women – not the “unborn” – the focal point of its ef orts In the past few years, AUL has drafted nu-merous bills that claim to protect women, recently including them in a new package it has dubbed the “Women’s Protection Project.” Based on misleading facts and dubious medical infor-mation, the package is full of model legislation with names like FR

SO-CALLED ‘TRAP’ LAWS ARE DESIGNED TO PUNISH

ABORTION PROVIDERS BY BURYING THEM IN RED TAPE

AND, ULTIMATELY, DRIVING THEM OUT OF BUSINESS

the “Parental Involvement Enhancement

Act” (which requires parental notifi

ca-tion or consent for underage aborca-tions),

the “Abortion Patients’ Enhanced Safety

Act” (imposes draconian regulations on

abortion providers), the “Women’s Health

Defense Act” (designed to protect women

from the supposed physical and emotional

health risks posed by later-term abortion)

and the “Women’s Right to Know Act,”

per-haps the most punishing measure in the

package To make it possible for a woman

to give her “informed consent” before

ter-minating a pregnancy, it requires that she

view the fetus she is about to abort,

justi-fying a mandatory ultrasound “Forced

ul-trasounds tell a woman exactly what she

already knows – that she’s pregnant,” says

Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL

Pro-Choice America “These laws aren’t

intend-ed to provide new or useful information;

they are intended to force more burden and shame on women

who are simply exercising a constitutional right.”

In 2012, Arizona became the fi rst state to pass a version of the

Women’s Health Defense Act, one of 65 “life-af rming” laws that

AUL claims credit for in the past three years According to the

ACLU, during the 2013 legislative session AUL worked in at least

27 states to, among other things, ban later-term abortion in North

Dakota, further limit access to abortion care in Kansas,

tight-en regulations on partight-ental-constight-ent laws in Arkansas and

Mon-tana, and restrict access to medication abortion in Mississippi,

a state where unnecessary regulation has already shut down all

but one abortion clinic

tac-tics of anti-abortion groups, it also speaks to the new

culture of the Republican Party Nowhere has this

been more apparent than Michigan, where

gerry-mandering combined with term limits have handed

the GOP a hammerlock on the state Legislature, at least

one-third of whose members are freshmen during any given term

Because of this, abortion opponents like the National Right to

Life Committee’s Michigan af liate now have the kind of broad

political infl uence they might have only dreamed of a few years

earlier “Right to Life of Michigan is looked upon by most

Re-publican legislators – and probably some Democratic legislators

– as one of the most coercive, if not the most coercive lobbying

group in the state,” says former U.S congressman Joe Schwarz, a self-described pro-choice Republican who served 16 years in the Michigan Statehouse, from 1987 to 2002 “The amount of pres-sure Right to Life both directly and indirectly puts on legislators

in Michigan is considerable And some legislators aren’t exactly profi les in courage when it comes to standing up to these guys.” Right to Life of Michigan’s president, Barbara Listing, who also sits on the board of the national organization, is known as

a savvy operator who has wielded power in the Michigan house for more than 20 years As far back as the early 1990s, re-calls former Republican legislator Shirley Johnson, Listing would show up in the gallery and tell pro-life legislators how to vote

State-“We’d be voting on an amendment, something that those bers who vote Right to Life did not have the opportunity to read, and they would look right up there and she’d give them a thumbs

mem-up or thumbs down,” says Johnson “Most of us were shocked, but we got used to it.”

Michigan’s “rape insurance” law was written by Right to Life, which had proposed it twice before – most recently in 2012 Two governors, including Republican Rick Snyder, vetoed the bill – Snyder, who opposes abortion, nonetheless said he felt the bill

“went too far.” So Right to Life employed a rarely used sion in the state constitution that allows for a citizens’ initiative

provi-to bring a bill provi-to the Legislature, provided a certain percentage

of the electorate supports it Michigan abortion opponents spent four months gathering the requisite 258,088 signatures to rein-

CHOICE WARRIOR After fi libustering

an anti-abortion measure last summer, Texas state Sen Wendy Davis (center) became an overnight political star

34| Rol li ng Ston e | rollingstone.com

After the vote, says Gretchen Whitmer, a number of her

Re-publican colleagues approached her to say they wished they’d had

the courage to vote against the bill “That was a tough thing to

hear,” she says “Not one Republican stood up and defended what

they were doing – not one Every one of them will get up and

de-fend a business tax cut Not one of them dede-fended this action.”

Of the 30 states that have been actively

pur-suing the anti-abortion agenda, most, like Michigan,

are also anti-union right-to-work states, where the

alli-ance of powerful donors and corporate interests has been

steadily working to change the political game Thanks

to the 2010 Citizens United decision, conservative dark-money

groups have spent millions on political campaigns, much of it

im-possible to trace “There’s a lot of money behind this efort, and

you have to ask, ‘Why is that?’ ” says the Center for Reproductive

Rights’ Nancy Northup “It’s been apparent to me for a long time

that this is part of a huge, larger agenda, and we’re just the

ca-nary in the coal mine What this is really about is democracy.”

In Michigan, Amway scion Richard “Dick” DeVos, the

58-year-old former Republican candidate for governor, is a force behind

what he refers to as the state’s “freedom to work” legislation,

which passed in 2012 despite a 12,000-person protest that locked

opponents out of the state Capitol DeVos has also funded a

va-riety of religious-right groups, including Right to Life of

Michi-gan and the MichiMichi-gan Family Forum, which supported the state’s

“rape insurance” bill

A similar scenario has played out in North Carolina, where

millionaire Art Pope has single-handedly changed the face of

state politics by pouring millions into state races since 2010,

which gave Republicans control of the Legislature and also

de-livered the governor’s mansion to the GOP in 2012 Since then,

North Carolina has enacted some of the nation’s harshest

vot-er-suppression laws, as well as a sweeping package of TRAP

laws that drew national attention last year, when lawmakers

attempted to sneak it past the public’s scrutiny by first

ing it to a bill ostensibly banning Shariah law, and then

attach-ing it to a bill regulatattach-ing motorcycle safety Despite weekly

pro-tests, the “motorcycle-vagina bill,” as abortion-rights advocates

dubbed it, was passed and signed into law in July, threatening

the state’s 16 abortion clinics

Unlike DeVos, a longtime Christian conservative, Pope calls

himself a libertarian and has served as a national director of the

Koch brothers’ Americans for Prosperity Koch money, through

various “social welfare” organizations it supports, has helped

fund a significant part of the pro-life agenda, even though the

Koch brothers, like Pope, have never taken a personal

inter-est in reproductive politics, and David Koch has even stated

his support for marriage equality “They know the policies they

want wouldn’t be attractive to enough people unless they also

included the social-conservative policies, so what’s happened

is they’ve merged the social and economic agenda into a

sin-gle product,” says Rachel Tabachnick, an associate fellow at the

progressive think tank Political Research Associates “This is

not new, it’s a project that goes back decades,” she says, “and it’s

one in which the war on reproductive rights is a

non-negotia-ble part of the deal.”

ting taxes and spending, might seem to rule the party But looks can be deceiving Evangelicals, long outsiders in the GOP power structure, now hold large sway in the party through organizations like the Heritage Foundation and the Family Research Council

“I’d say it’s kind of baked into the cake,” Ralph Reed, the head

of the Faith and Freedom Coalition, said recently on MSNBC

“This is what progressives don’t understand,” says Tabachnick

“The public is so obsessed with the big battle between Democrats and Republicans that they miss the larger philosophical and legal underpinnings developed by this permanent think-tank struc-ture that has been working behind the scenes for years And now they’re in a place where regardless of what’s happening with the Supreme Court, they are ready to maximize every opportunity because of the extremely well-funded partnership between the free-marketeers and the religious right that’s helping to overhaul the country from the bottom up.”

This union has been the key to not just the success of life legislation, but also the avalanche of other model legisla-tion to defeat the federal government promoted by groups like ALEC, which receives heavy backing from the State Policy Net-work, the free-market coalition of “mini-Heritage Foundations,” with branches in every state Though they maintain their focus

pro-is strictly economic, many lawmakers who serve as state ALEC chairs also happen to be the leading proponents of anti-abortion

legislation At an ALEC conference last August in Chicago, consin Democrat Chris Taylor, a state senator, recalls that AUL had a prominent booth in the exhibition hall “The relationship isn’t formal,” she says, “but they are clearly working in conjunc-tion to help change the face of the legislatures.”

is playing chess: They are willing to lose a pawn here or there to achieve the larger goal.”
