In an innovative analysis of legislative responses to surrogacy in the bellwether states of New York and California, Markens explores how discourses about gender, family, race, genetics, rights, and choice have shaped policies aimed at this issue. She examines the views of key players, including legislators, women's organizations, religious groups, the media, and others. In a study that finds surprising ideological agreement among those with opposing views of surrogate motherhood, Markens challenges common assumptions about our responses to reproductive technologies and at the same time offers a fascinating picture of how reproductive politics shape social policy. 606 $aSurrogate motherhood 606 $aSurrogate mothers$xLegal status, laws, etc$zUnited States 606 $aSurrogate motherhood$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 615 0$aSurrogate motherhood. 615 0$aSurrogate mothers$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aSurrogate motherhood$xSocial aspects 676 $a306.874/3 700 $aMarkens$b Susan$f1967-$01604769 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823787703321 996 $aSurrogate motherhood and the politics of reproduction$93929733 997 $aUNINA
