Mama's Got a Plan:

Maternity Care, Health Insurance, and Reproductive Justice


Not my usual topic, but not as far removed as you might think

Abortion rights article is not just about abortion!

My most recent article, “Michigan’s New Abortion Insurance Rider Law: Challenges, Spin, and Justice,” is now available on the blog of Michigan State University’s Center for Ethics and Humanities in the Life Sciences.

Although abortion rights is not my usual focus, fans of Mama’s Got a Plan may wish to read the article to the end to see how I tie abortion rights into the larger context of Reproductive Justice and then – presto! chango! – discuss the relevancy to my favorite topic of rights in pregnancy and childbirth.

Other content at MSU

MSU allowed me a great deal of freedom in constructing the article, for which I’m very grateful. I’d also like to thank them for inviting me to speak last year on the topic of vaginal birth after cesarean. The talk, The Declining Provider: Refusal, Responsibility, and Reasonableness, is still available as a free webinar.
