Woliver. Across a politically charged backdrop of reproductive issues, Woliver exposes strategies that claim to uphold the best interests of children, families, and women but in reality complicate women's struggles to have control over their own bodies. Utilizing feminist standpoint theory and promoting a feminist ethic of care, Woliver looks at the ways modern reproductive politics are shaped by long-standing debates on abortion and adoption, surrogacy arrangements, new reproductive technologies, medical surveillance, and the mapping of the human genome. 606 $aPregnancy$xPolitical aspects 606 $aHuman reproduction$xPolitical aspects 606 $aHuman reproductive technology$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aPregnancy$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aHuman reproduction$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aHuman reproductive technology$xPolitical aspects. 676 $a305.48 700 $aWoliver$b Laura R.$f1954-$01499132 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778913103321 996 $aThe political geographies of pregnancy$93724973 997 $aUNINA
