This text addresses the Philippines' historical and contemporary
reproductive politics, offering a timely insight into the rich
reproductive lives of Filipinos. It critically explores stories of
sexuality, religiosity, and reproductive livelihoods during the
immediate aftermath of the passing of the 'Responsible Parenthood
and Reproductive Health Act' of 2012 after more than fifteen years
of opposition by the Philippine Catholic Church. Commonly called
the "RH Law", it aims to provide public access to reproductive and
family planning services for Filipino women and men, especially
those from poorer communities who often experience unwanted
pregnancies, complications from illegal abortions, and exacerbated
economic hardship. This book explores the intimate and urban
after-effects of globalization, and how they shape the
"reproductive dilemmas" of Filipinos in Metropolitan "Metro"
Manila. It constructs a balanced portrait of the country's
reproductive politics within Metro Manila's rapidly changing
terrains, showing how "reproductive dilemmas" are produced within a
context that is at once fraught by conservative religious discourse
and also rapidly globalizing, and where aspects of intimate lives
have become both transnational and fragmented.
