Tongue, Z.L. orcid.org/0000-0002-4625-4773 (Cover date: March 2024) Locating Abortion and Contraception on the Obstetric Violence Continuum. International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics, 17 (1). pp. 1-24. ISSN 1937-4585
Abstract
This article builds on existing feminist literature on obstetric violence in the context of childbirth to argue that there is a continuum of obstetric violence that also includes that perpetuated in relation to pregnancy prevention and termination, as well as antenatal healthcare and birth. This structural violence is highlighted in relation to conscientious objection, the reporting of people suspected of illegal abortions by their healthcare providers, and contraceptive coercion. Recognizing the limitations of criminal and human rights approaches to obstetric violence, this article takes Martha Fineman’s vulnerability theory as the foundation for the transformative structural change of healthcare institutions.
