Description
An invitation into doing reproductive justice queerly.
Queer theory and reproductive justice need each other—now more than ever. As liberals and leftists increasingly frame reproductive justice in terms of LGBTQ+ rights, often adopting the language of "queerness," it has become difficult to see that their political demands and strategies are often quite conservative.
In Reproductive Justice, Queerly, Carly Thomsen examines typical reproductive justice issues—including abortion, surrogacy, crisis pregnancy centres, paid parental leave, and parenting—in queer ways. She shows what can happen when we bring queer theory and reproductive justice together: a queerer, more powerful articulation of what we are fighting for.
