Fovargue, S. orcid.org/0000-0003-2361-4219 and Miola, J. (2015) Are we still ‘policing pregnancy’? In: Stanton, C., Devaney, S., Farrell, A.-M. and Mullock, A., (eds.) Pioneering Healthcare Law : Essays in Honour of Margaret Brazier. Routledge (Taylor & Francis) , Abingdon , pp. 243-254. ISBN 9781138861091
Abstract
In this chapter we consider the role of the law in determining maternal responsibility for foetal welfare in relation to decisions regarding delivery, note identifiable trends in the older cases, and examine the four recent reported decisions. We suggest that, as Brazier said, such cases will continue to be brought to court until ‘other issues where liberty and procreative responsibility conflict’ are resolved.
