Abstract: | This is an overview of disabled women's reproductive health status. It focuses on the politics of eugenics, which explains why disabled women are devalued as sources of reproduction, have little access to women's health services, and are faced with methods of contraception which continue to pose a threat to their reproductive health and freedom. The ultimate goal of the author is to bring forth questions for research, and to help set the reproductive rights agenda for the aspiring disabled feminist movement. |
