In Policing the Womb, Michele Goodwin explores how states abuse
laws and infringe on rights to police women and their pregnancies.
This book looks at the impact of these often arbitrary laws which
can result in the punishment, incarceration, and humiliation of
women, particularly poor women and women of color. Frequently based
on unscientific claims of endangering a fetus, these laws allow
extraordinary powers to state authorities over reproductive freedom
and pregnancies. In this book, Michele Goodwin discusses real
examples of women whose pregnancies have been controlled by the law
and what has led to the United States being the deadliest country
in the developed world for a woman to be pregnant.
