Download Pushing for Midwives: Homebirth Mothers and the Reproductive Rights Movement AudioBook Free
Using the increasing demand for midwives among U.S. women, reproductive privileges activists are lobbying to loosen restrictions that refuse legal usage of homebirth options. In Moving for Midwives, Christa Craven reveals a nuanced background of women's reproductive privileges activism in the U.S. She also provides an examination of modern organizing approaches for reproductive rights in an era increasingly motivated by "consumer privileges". By framing the midwifery struggle through a political economic point of view on reproductive privileges, Moving for Midwives offers an in-depth look at the strategies, successes, and challenges facing midwifery activists in Virginia. Craven examines how decades-old contest and category prejudices against midwives continue to impact opposition to - as well as divisions within - women's modern legislative efforts for midwives. She argues that recognition is vital for both scholars and activists if indeed they desire to maintain their dedication to extending reproductive rights for those women.
