"Parce qu’ils avaient laissé mourir faute de soins leur quatrième enfant, Ginette et Claude Bac furent condamnés à sept ans de réclusion par la cour d’assises de la Seine en juin 1954. Cassé pour vice de forme, le jugement fut ramené lors d’un second procès à deux années, couvertes par leur détention. La gynécologue Marie-Andrée Lagroua Weill-Hallé y témoigna en leur faveur, ce qui fut déterminant. Quelques mois plus tard, elle fondait la Maternité heureuse qui devint le Planning familial. De l’affaire des époux Bac, toujours mentionnée en quelques lignes dans les ouvrages d’histoire pour avoir été un facteur déclenchant des mouvements en faveur de la contraception, on ne savait presque rien. Danièle Voldman et Annette Wieviorka font le récit du drame vécu par ce jeune couple ouvrier de Saint-Ouen, des « gens sans importance » que des grossesses rapprochées accablèrent. Elles racontent aussi comment les partisans de la légalisation de la contraception se sont emparés de ce désolant fait divers, devenu fait de société. Les déclarations de Marie-Andrée Lagroua Weill-Hallé au procès ont brisé un tabou, ouvert une brèche qui a libéré la parole des femmes et mis au jour leurs souffrances. L’opinion en a été bouleversée. Le débat public ne s’est plus refermé jusqu’au vote de la loi Neuwirth en 1967, une révolution dans l’histoire des femmes."

The United States may never make abortion completely illegal, but in many states, abortion is accessible in name only due to lack of clinics, expense, waiting periods or other issues. And if Roe v. Wade is overturned, those same states will likely make abortion illegal within their borders. The End of Roe v. Wade builds off of the 2013 book Crow After Roe, expanding and updating the original chapters detailing anti-abortion model legislation meant to challenge Roe v. Wade such as 20-week abortion bans, "heartbeat" bans, "feticide" charges and TRAP laws. The book will also includes additional chapters highlighting new threats to abortion rights since 2013, including D&E bans, "fetal endangerment" laws, the Trump Administration's unprecedented federal efforts to end access to abortion and contraception, and an analysis of Whole Women's Health v. Hellerstedt, the first major abortion rights decision since 1992's Planned Parenthood v. Casey. The End of Roe v. Wade also looks at the inevitable rise of self-induced abortion in a post-Roe landscape, detailing the next big battle over abortion in the U.S. -- those who chose to end pregnancies outside of the legal medical system against those who will prosecute them when and if they are caught. The end of Roe v. Wade may be just around the corner. This book tells how we got there, and what will happen next.

The right to bodily integrity has become a notable controversial issue within moral, political and legal discourse and this right is regarded as one of the most precious rights that persons have, alongside the right to life. Recent scholarly debate has focused attention on the content, scope and force of this right and has lead to the recognition that a better understanding of the nature of this right will contribute to determining whether and why a multitude of clinical and research activities in medical practice should be seen as permissible or impermissible. The essays selected for this volume examine topics such as pregnancy and reproduction, altering children’s bodies, transplantation, controversial modifications and surgeries, and experimentation and dead bodies. This is the first collection of scholarly research articles to provide a comprehensive overview of the ethical and legal aspects of the right to bodily integrity and its implications in theory and practice.

Le destin d'une femme n'est pas de devenir mère. Pas le sien, en tout cas. Chloé Chaudet a 35 ans. Elle n'aura pas d'enfant. C'est décidé. Ce choix suscite l'incompréhension, voire l'agressivité. " Tu. ne vas pas regretter ? " " Tu n'as pas peur de finir seule ? " Toujours ces mêmes questions, quels que soient l'âge et le milieu. En France, la maternité semble une évidence ; pourtant, près de 5 % des femmes la refusent. C'est un sujet tabou que même la révolution féministe tient encore à l'écart. " Comme des centaines de milliers de femmes indociles, j'ai pris une décision qui demeure inacceptable : vivre comme bon me semble. " Chloé Chaudet confie les raisons de son choix, décrit sa fragilité face aux réactions qu'il suscite et tente de comprendre ces diktats inconscients qui nous habitent. Un livre éclairant, qui bouscule les préjugés.

Le tsunami Weinstein qui déferle à l'automne 2017 n'est pas né d'un tremblement de terre imprévisible. Il s'inscrit dans un mouvement de réappropriation par les femmes de leur corps dans ses dimensions intimes. Avant même les révélations liées au harcèlement et aux violences sexuelles, le féminisme avait amorcé son tournant génital. Maternité et non-désir d'enfant, menstruations et ménopause, apparence et normes esthétiques, sexualité et plaisir, le temps est venu de réclamer pour tous ses sujets la liberté et l'égalité qui forment le cœur du projet féministe. Camille Froidevaux-Metterie propose de penser le corps des femmes au prisme de la double expérience vécue de l'aliénation et de l'émancipation. Il s'agit d'approfondir la dynamique de libération de la parole et d'en terminer avec les diktats sociaux pour faire advenir une conception enfin apaisée, gratifiante et égalitaire de la corporéité féminine.

By 2100, the human population may exceed 11 billion. Having recently surpassed 7.5 billion, it has trebled since 1950. Are such numbers sustainable, given a deepening environmental crisis? Can so many live well? Or should world population be controlled? The population question, one of the twentieth century's most bitterly contested issues, is being debated once again. In this compelling book, Diana Coole examines some of the profound political and ethical questions involved. Are ethical objections to government interference with individuals reproductive freedom definitive? Is it possible to limit population in a non-coercive way that is consistent with liberal-democratic values? Interweaving erudite original analysis with an accessible overview of the crucial debates, Coole argues that a case can be made for reducing our numbers in ways that are compatible with human rights. This book will be essential reading for anyone interested in one of the most important questions facing our planet, from concerned citizens to students of politics, sociology, political economy, gender studies and environmental studies.

The experimental family planning program begun in 1963 in Taichung, the provincial capital of Taiwan, was the largest intensive program of its kind ever to be carried out for a sizable concentrated population. Its use of systematic observation and measurements was also unique. In evaluating the program and the data gathered, the authors seek to establish the extent to which the decline in Taiwan's fertility level resulted from the program rather than from the changes already underway in the society at that time. Finally, two vital questions occupy them: What has been learned in Taiwan, and how much of this can be applied to other developing countries with rapid population growth?Originally published in 1969.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
