Solinger takes a close look at the language we use—including the relatively unchallenged but fully-loaded terms “pro-choice” and “pro-life”—and how we came to define our positions on different aspects of reproduction with language more common in political discourse. While her suggested reading list could form the basis of a graduate seminar, this relatively short volume should be required reading for everyone—whether you can become pregnant or not.
Reproductive politics is a term 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 of reproductive rights are just as complex - andcontroversial - as they were then. Focusing mainly on the United States, Reproductive Politics 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 adopts a question-and-answer format to shed light on such questions as: are sex and reproduction "private" or "public" matters? When was abortion criminalized in the United States - and why? What is"abstinence only" sex education? And how is "reproductive politics" a men's issue as well as a women's issue? Covering a substantial range of information in an accessible and lively manner, Solinger orients readers and provides the knowledge necessary to enter into dialogue with this important andcontinually evolving field.
