Since Roe v. Wade, there has been increasing public interest in
fetuses, in part as a result of effective antiabortion propaganda
and in part as a result of developments in medicine and technology.
While feminists have begun to take note of the proliferation of
fetal images in various media, such as medical journals, magazines,
and motion pictures, few have openly addressed the problems that
the emergence of the fetal subject poses for feminism.
Fetal Subjects, Feminist Positions foregrounds feminism's effort
to focus on the importance of women's reproductive agency, and at
the same time acknowledges the increasing significance of fetal
subjects in public discourse and private experience. Essays address
the public fascination with the fetal subject and its implications
for abortion discourse and feminist commitment to reproductive
rights in the United States. Contributors include scholars from
fields as diverse as anthropology, communications, political
science, sociology, and philosophy.
This timely volume provides scholars and reproductive rights
activists a forum for dialogue about fetuses without conceding to a
moral or political agenda that would sanctify them at women's
expense.
