Communicating Gender, Race and Nation in the Purvi Patel : The State, Biopower, and the Globality of Reproductive Surveillance

Abstract

I do not believe that just because you're opposed to abortion, that that makes you prolife. In fact, I think in many cases, your morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed. And why would I think that you don't? Because you don't want any tax money to go there. That's not pro-life. That's pro-birth. We need a much broader conversation on what the morality of pro-life is.(Sister Joan Chitister quoted by Salzillo, 2015)
