This book looks at the impact of these often arbitrary laws which can result in the punishment, incarceration, and humiliation of women, particularly poor women and women of color. Frequently based on unscientific claims of endangering a fetus, these laws allow extraordinary powers to state authorities over reproductive freedom and pregnancies. In this book, Michele Goodwin discusses real examples of women whose pregnancies have been controlled by the law and what has led to the United States being the deadliest country in the developed world for a woman to be pregnant.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 235mmItem Length: 158mmItem Width: 23mmItem Weight: 630gAuthor: Michele GoodwinGenre: Law & PoliticsTopic: Gender Sex & Relationships, Society & CultureRelease Year: 2020 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
