Are pregnant women entitled to the same rights of
self-determination and bodily integrity as other adults? This is
the fundamental question underlying recent high-profile legal
interventions in situations when pregnant women and healthcare
staff do not agree on management options or appropriate behaviour.
Courts on both sides of the Atlantic have sometimes answered that
they are not, and the law has at times been manipulated to enforce
compliance with medical recommendations. This is the first book of
its kind to offer a comprehensive assessment of healthcare law as
applied to the unique situation of pregnancy. Drawing on case
material from both the UK and the USA, it describes the trend
towards 'policing pregnancy' and explores the emergence of the
concept of 'maternal-foetal conflict' - and why, in the author's
view, this would be more appropriately labelled 'obstetric
conflict'. Suggestions are made for alternative approaches that
better safeguard the overall well-being of pregnant women and their
future children.
