Birth Justice: From Obstetric Violence to Abolitionist Care

By Rodante van der Waal

Book Overview

This collection of essays argues that reproductive justice-currently undermined by criminalized abortion, racial disparities in mortality, and obstetric violence-requires abolishing authoritative institutional and state control over reproduction in favor of community-based relational care practices that ensure bodily self-determination.
