Yet the case has revealed originalism as a flawed method, harmed the legitimacy of the Court, and energized those supporting abortion rights.","PeriodicalId":140707,"journal":{"name":"Adoption & Culture","volume":"17 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132242786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following the US Supreme Court's June 2022 decision to repeal Roe v. Wade in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, the African American Policy Forum issued a statement decrying the ongoing corrosion of American civil and reproductive liberties by the Right, focalizing the disproportionate and devastating consequences for marginalized individuals and communities across the nation. As black, women of color, and decolonial feminisms have long avowed, reproductive justice concerns are inextricable from slavery, eugenics, and forced sterilization, all of which have particularly tyrannized the reproductive capacities of non-white bodies. In a sociopolitical milieu where the slogan \"my body, my choice\" will acquire increasing notoriety under an antidemocratic leadership, this sentiment likewise reveals the possessive individualism denied to enslaved or colonized populations. In fact, Andrea Smith argues that moving beyond the pro-life versus pro-choice dichotomy is crucial for reproductive justice movements since \"pro-life pits fetal rights against women's rights whereas pro-choice argues that women should have freedom to make choices rather than possess inherent rights to their bodies\" (166). According to Smith, reproductive issues must be extrapolated to social justice efforts more broadly, including the dissolution of capitalism, which neither pro-life nor pro-choice positions account for thereby maintaining the gendered and racial inequalities that constitute reproductive politics. While overturning Roe v. Wade has and will continue to exert unspeakable material violence, the pandemonium might be an opportunity to reconsider Smith's claim; what would it mean for poor [End Page 117] women, women of color, Indigenous women, and women with disabilities to \"possess inherent rights to their bodies\" instead of recentering the tacit whiteness of reproductive rights discourse (161, 166)? Given the circumstances in which all \"women\" will differentially lose their bodily autonomy as states assume increasing control over reproduction—further exacerbating unequal access to medical and health services for trans and non-binary identified people—James Wan's recent horror film, Malignant, resonates newly. The film follows Madison, an adult adoptee, as she uncovers the mystery behind a series of sudden hallucinations in which people are brutally slain. Terrorized by these waking nightmares, she delves into her pre-adoptive history seeking answers. With the unwavering support of her adoptive family, Madison discovers that these attacks are being carried out by Gabriel, a malignant teratoma w","PeriodicalId":140707,"journal":{"name":"Adoption & Culture","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135549815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At first glance, abortion, adoption, and surrogacy appear as separate issues impacting women's lives in different ways. Yet, women's lives and experiences are shaped and interconnected by various degrees of privilege and precarity, desperation and choice. The Politics of Reproduction: Adoption, Abortion, and Surrogacy in the Age of Neoliberalism uncovers how profit is put before people, not only in local communities but on a global scale and in the name of family making. The lasting effects of capitalism and patriarchy, entangled with neoliberalism's ideologies and practices, sell a story of autonomous choices for women. In effect, the tangled relations and inequities that shape and constrict women's lives are more complex than they seem. This volume describes how neoliberalism's policies began taking shape during the 1970s in the United States. Government spending on education and child welfare programs decreased while corporate profits and interest increased (6). Both Democrats and Republicans dismantled the social safety nets once in place, with Bill Clinton in 1996 ending welfare for the American people (6). Debates following policy changes demonized BIPOC. Discourses on welfare demonized poor women and women of color, feeding into and maintaining the regulation of proper family forms and aligning with religious views that discriminated against gay people (6). Such powerful ideologies shifted policies and protections in the United States, benefiting the economy while forcing self-sufficiency and individual responsibility (6), the editors observe. Neoliberalism's policies affect families and households the most, with women responsible for raising children, caring for the elderly, and completing household tasks (7). The editors continue: neoliberalism requires a \"double shift\" for women working outside and inside the home, providing the social reproduction required to sustain their lives and families (7). Women who can afford to work outside the home while having and raising children often require help from undocumented women or immigrants without the ability to care for their own families (7). Women's intimate lives, relations and decisions are connected to the lives of other women, shaping access to abortion, ad","PeriodicalId":140707,"journal":{"name":"Adoption & Culture","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135549820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This essay offers a needed analysis of transnational Korean adoptees' performative labor that negotiates their discrete subjectivity in both their birth and adoptive countries: a care work to form relationships and create coexistence that I call convivial labor . The principal goal of this essay is to delineate in narrative terms what the care labor I designate as conviviality entails. The dialogue between conviviality and adoption calls attention to the transnational adoptee who is tasked with producing comfort and creating connection in intimate relations. In doing so, this essay claims that Geographies of Kinship becomes a source of critical analysis of transnational adoptee coexistence or conviviality as a political category.","PeriodicalId":140707,"journal":{"name":"Adoption & Culture","volume":"249 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135549823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
