  • Reproductive Rights
    Reproductive Rights Oxford Handbooks Online Reproductive Rights Véronique Mottier The Oxford Handbook of Gender and Politics Edited by Georgina Waylen, Karen Celis, Johanna Kantola, and S. Laurel Weldon Print Publication Date: Mar 2013 Subject: Political Science, Comparative Politics Online Publication Date: Aug 2013 DOI: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199751457.013.0008 Abstract and Keywords This article discusses feminist scholarship on three specific areas of the politics of reproduction. It first defines the concept of reproduction as the production of offspring; reproduction is also considered as a key theme of feminist theory and political practice before and after Simone de Beauvoir. The article then studies state control over the procreative choices of the citizens, specifically the eugenic population policies introduced during the first few decades of the twentieth century. The next section focuses on feminist mobilization around abortion and contraceptive rights and outlines the ways reproductive rights have been included in the political arena due to women’s movements. The article concludes with a study of the impact of the latest reproductive technologies on modern politics of gender along with the feminist responses to the challenges posed by recent improvements in this area. Keywords: reproduction, feminist scholarship, feminist theory, Simone de Beauvoir, procreative choices, feminist mobilization, abortion, reproductive rights, reproductive technologies, feminist responses Introduction Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex, first published in 1949, famously blamed women’s reproductive bodies and activities for their subordinate social status. Writing at a time when marriage and motherhood constituted the main horizon of female social respectability, de Beauvoir portrayed marriage, housework, and childcare as mutually reinforcing women’s dependence on men.

  • What Counts As Feminist Theory?
    What counts as feminist theory? [May-July 2003/2009:] This is one of the papers referred to in ‘Introduction to the refereed papers’. I wrote the paper in 1999, in response to the pre-publicity for the journal, Feminist Theory, which had asked for submissions on the question of what counts as feminist theory (among others). I sent it off in time for the inaugural issue of the journal, which appeared in 2000. It was sent to three reviewers, two of whom argued against publishing it. The third recommended publication despite some disagreements she had with it, but the majority prevailed and I received a letter telling me my paper had been rejected. I wrote a reply to the letter and to the readers’ reports, pointing out a number of problems with the reasons given for the rejection. (This reply is included below, at the end of the paper). When the first issue of the journal appeared, the editorial referred approvingly to ‘feminist theory in all its many and diverse forms’, and contained the following statement: ‘We intend this journal to be … a place where all shades of feminist opinion can be aired … we neither wish to impose any form of theoretical orthodoxy nor any single definition of what counts as feminist theory. This theoretical heterodoxy is central to our project’ (Griffin et al, 2000: 5). In the light of the rejection of my paper and the inadequacy of the reasons given, this statement rang somewhat hollow. It sounded to me like an example of what Herbert Marcuse referred to as ‘repressive tolerance’ (Marcuse, 1969), the claim to be all- inclusive and accepting that functions to reduce everything to the lowest common denominator of irrelevance.

    Women's Studies International Forum 31 (2008) 157–175 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Women's Studies International Forum journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/wsif From test-tube women to bodies without women Renate Klein Feminist International Network of Resistance to Reproductive and Genetic Engineering (FINRRAGE), PO Box 212, North Melbourne Victoria 3051, Australia article info synopsis Available online 5 June 2008 In this article I summarise twenty-five years of international feminist resistance to reproductive and genetic engineering. Drawing on the work of FINRRAGE (Feminist International Network of Resistance to Reproductive and Genetic Engineering) I list the main objections of feminist critics to the global commodification of women. Under the guise of ‘doing good’ and the catch cry ‘women want it’ (i.e. allegedly to alleviate the suffering of infertility/too much fertility, or eliminate genetic imperfection), reproductive and genetic engineers have reduced women — and their babies — to a series of body parts and tissues that can be traded, screened and eliminated at will. Discussions include the many physiological as well as psychological dangers inherent in the medicalisation of in/fertile women's lives and their children through the Big Business of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and related genetic technologies in a global context. I also critically examine the pro-technology position of liberal feminists including their much touted concept of ‘choice’. Lastly, I ask where the recent opening of the door to embryonic stem cell research via commercial and ‘altruistic’ egg cell ‘donation’ is taking society and how long it will be before cloning of human beings is justified as ‘for our own good’ and women's alienation to their own body (parts) will lead to their annihilation.

  • Perspectives on Reproduction
    Stockholm University Linnaeus Center on Social Policy and Family Dynamics in Europe, SPaDE Feminist Perspectives on Motherhood and Reproduction Gerda Neyer and Laura Bernardi Working Paper 2011: 4 Feminist Perspectives on Motherhood and Reproduction* Gerda Neyer Stockholm University Demography Unit 106 91 Stockholm [email protected] Laura Bernardi University of Lausanne, Institute for Social Sciences Abstract: Motherhood and reproduction have been at the core of the feminist discourse about women's rights ever since its onset. For the first and second feminist movements, the right to abortion and the public recognition of motherhood have been main issues in the discourse on reproduction. Since the last two decades of the 20th century, the potentials of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have opened up new venues of feminist discourse. In this paper we sketch the main feminist lines of argumentation regarding motherhood and reproduction since the 1970s, and we identify specific shifts in their recurrent issues. We argue that an essential contribution of feminism to the understanding of motherhood as a structuring category has been its insistence on the distinction between biological and social motherhood. Feminist discourse shows how ART has further decomposed biological motherhood and has altered the meaning of motherhood and reproduction. Feminist analysis maintains that despite the rhetoric of choice surrounding ART, these technologies have not increased women‟s reproductive freedom. The decomposition of biological motherhood, the medical, legal, and commercial development of reproduction, and the change in the social perception of motherhood have rather established new forms of control over female reproduction. * This paper is also available as a Stockholm Research Report in Demography 2 1.

  • Choice, Control and Issues of Informed Consent: the New Reproductive and Pre-Birth Technologies, Robyn Rowland
    CHOICE, CONTROL AND ISSUES OF INFORMED CONSENT: THE NEW REPRODUCTIVE AND PRE-BIRTH TECHNOLOGIES1 Dr. Robyn Rowland Social Psychologist Senior Lecturer in Women’s Studies School of Humanities Deakin University Victoria, 3217, Australia. Paper delivered to the Annual Conference of the American Society of Law and Medicine, Sydney, August 1986; and to the Law Reform Commission of Victoria Symposia 1986: Informed Consent. 2 In Australia, particularly in Victoria, there has been heated public debate about the social implications of the new reproductive technologies. One of the initial arguments put forward by the medical researchers for introducing this technology was that ‘women want it’. This catchcry has been slightly rephrased recently by both the medical researchers and the users of this technology. The emerging argument is that a woman should have ‘the right to choose’ to use the technologies. Feminists have argued that women have been used as experimental subjects and living laboratories on reproductive technology programs. The very evidence of women’s experimental status which has been produced by feminists, is now being used to argue an informed consent theme by users of the technology and civil libertarians. Inherent in this line of debate is the assumption that if women are fully informed, there are no problems with the technology and all is well. I will analyse both these claims: a woman’s right to choose, and the demands for informed consent. I argue that at the base of both is an individualism which conflicts with the social implications of the technologies which themselves impact on all members of society, but particularly on women as a social group.
