The term "reproductive politics" was coined by feminists in the
1970s to describe contemporary Roe v. Wade-era power struggles over
contraception and abortion, adoption and surrogacy, and other
satellite issues. Forty years later, questions about reproductive
rights are just as complex--and controversial--as they were then.
Focusing mainly on the United States, Reproductive Politics: What
Everyone Needs to Know(r) explores the legal, political, religious,
social, ethical, and medical dimensions of this hotly contested
arena.
Tracing the historical roots of reproductive politics up through
the present, Rickie Solinger considers a range of topics from
abortion and contraception to health care reform and assisted
reproductive technologies. Solinger tackles some of the most
contentious questions up for debate today, including the definition
of "fetal personhood," and the roles poverty and welfare policy
play in shaping reproductive rights. The answers she provides are
informative, balanced, and sometimes quite surprising.
Offering a wide range of information in an accessible and engaging
manner, Reproductive Politics: What Everyone Needs to Know(r)
orients readers and provides the knowledge necessary to follow the
debates in this important and continually evolving field.
