Description
Résumé:This special issue addresses reproductive ethics in ways that critically engage and challenge the modes of gestating, birthing, and family-making that have been passed down in the texts and practices of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. Seven scholars trained in biblical studies, theology, ethics, and philosophy bring feminist, womanist, and queer critical perspectives to bear on a range of religious discourses and practices having to do with reproductive realities. Each essay offers constructive ethical proposals that support women’s moral agency, increase women’s voice in institutional religion’s ethical decision-making, and strengthen women’s well-being, whether pursuing motherhood or living childfree. These essays emphasize the need for ethics to keep pace with new modes of defining family, the corporeality of pregnancy, personhood in the womb, and other reproductive issues.
