    Abortion Bans: The Exceptions That Prove the Rule Makes No Sense.Tamara Kayali Browne & Evie Kendal - 2024 - International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics 17 (2):114-122.
    Abortion is now "banned" in fourteen US states. Fetal personhood—the notion that fetuses should be considered equal persons—has been invoked in many anti-abortion laws. Yet none of the states actually ban abortion completely. Some states allow exceptions in cases of rape or incest, and at the very least, every state so far permits abortion if the pregnancy threatens the life of the pregnant person. However, it is impossible to uphold the validity of these exceptions while maintaining a position of legal (...)

    At What Price? Abortion versus Artificial Womb.Sonya Charles - 2024 - International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics 17 (2):123-141.
    The author's goal in this article is to develop an argument for why women should have a right to abortion-as-termination even if some form of ectogenesis is created. First, the author shows why ectogenesis as an alternative to abortion does not protect women's bodily autonomy because women are being forced to submit to coerced medical treatment and perform reproductive labor for others. Second, the author considers a further implication of her argument: If abortion-as-termination is kept, how far into gestation should (...)

Guided by diverse patient testimonies and case studies, the book focuses on harms experienced by patients who are marginalized on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, body size, and disability. It amplifies their voices, stories, and experiences, which have too often been excluded from mainstream (...)

    Microaggressions among Healthcare Providers Facilitate Microaggressions toward Patients.H. Rhodes Hambrick & Sonya Tang Girdwood - 2024 - International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics 17 (2):157-162.
    In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:Microaggressions among Healthcare Providers Facilitate Microaggressions toward PatientsH. Rhodes Hambrick (bio) and Sonya Tang Girdwood (bio)In the conclusion of Freeman and Stewart's (2024) book, Microaggressions in Medicine, the authors specifically recognize the existence of microaggressions among healthcare professionals but have chosen not to focus on these microaggressions in the book. However, it is imperative to acknowledge that microaggressions committed among healthcare professionals can perpetuate microaggressions toward patients by creating (...)

  7. Toward a Feminist Model for Women's Healthcare: The Problem of False Consciousness and the Moral Status of Female Genital Cosmetic Surgery.Shadi Heidarifar - 2024 - International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics 17 (2):28-54.
    This article is concerned with "all-or-nothing" approaches to female genital cosmetic surgeries, those that overemphasize either women's autonomy to defend total accessibility or the oppressive social context affecting women to defend the total banning of the procedures. By contrast, the author takes both phenomena into consideration. The author argues identifying patterns of false consciousness and weighing those against harm done to a patient provides a moral basis for a doctor to possibly deny their consent at face value. This also requires (...)

In their view, focusing on the harms produced by microaggressions shifts the locus (...)

    Why All US Medical Schools Have a Moral Obligation to Provide Abortion Training to Their Interested Students: A Necessary Response to Dobbs.Spencer Schmid - 2024 - International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics 17 (2):85-113.
    Abortion is among the most widely disagreed upon topics in bioethics and healthcare. Consider how abortion is taught to medical students: while some medical schools incorporate abortion into their standard curriculum, others omit it entirely. In this article, the author argues these discrepancies go against society's interest in producing physicians with comprehensive medical knowledge—especially for common procedures like abortions. The author thus argues all US medical schools have a moral obligation to provide abortion education and clinical training opportunities to their (...)

    An Anticipated Reform of the Regulation on Assisted Reproduction Technology in China: An Emphasis on the Right to Reproduction.Jingzhou Sun - 2024 - International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics 17 (2):55-84.
    The regulation of assisted reproduction technologies (ART) in China exhibits fragmentation, obsolescence, and a lower normative standing. Amid China's demographic challenges, discernible indications suggest a possible shift in stance towards the stringent regulation of ART. The present study furnishes an elucidation of extant ART regulations, delineates the developmental trajectory of reproductive rights within the Chinese legal framework, scrutinizes societal perspectives endorsing emancipated reproductive autonomy for women, and culminates by underscoring the necessity to acknowledge and uphold autonomous and substantive reproductive rights (...)

    Plotting the Past and Future of Hormonal Contraception: A Narrative Public Health Ethics Approach to Centering Patients' Voices in the Pharmacogenomic Era of Birth Control.Sarah Towle - 2024 - International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics 17 (2):1-27.
    The development and regulation of hormonal contraception has been problematic—with concerns and safety of patients often being disregarded. Better birth control prescribing may lie in genetic testing. Direct-to-consumer genetic testing aimed at "personalizing the pill" exists, but regulations and clinical guidelines must adapt to meet the diverse needs of patients. This article analyzes emerging socio-ethical-legal tensions as hormonal contraceptives enter the pharmacogenomic era. Using a narrative lens, the author concludes that further patient-centered research—grounded in the voices of distinct populations—should inform (...)

    In October 2022, the International Association of Bioethics announced that the 17th World Congress of Bioethics (WCB) 2024 would be held in Doha, Qatar. The International Network on Feminist Approaches to Bioethics (FAB) traditionally holds its World Congress jointly with the WCB. As part of the ongoing debate about the ethics of bioethics conferencing, the FAB provided a detailed statement discussing concerns about choosing Qatar as the site for a feminist bioethics conference. In order to explore possible approaches towards the (...)

    The Contribution of Empowerment to Bioethics in the Obstetric Care Context.Marie-Alexia Masella & Béatrice Godard - 2024 - International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics 17 (1):73-92.
    Empowerment in healthcare is becoming increasingly popular, including in obstetrics, because of its benefits for both individual health and health promotion. Many authors and organizations, such as the World Health Organization, advocate it as a means of engaging communities in the adoption of health-promoting behaviors and fostering patient-centered care. It aims to enable patients to assert their decisions and choices while respecting their personal values. This desire to respect the uniqueness and autonomy of each individual echoes a number of ethical (...)

    The Moral Asymmetry of Conscientious Provision and Conscientious Refusal: Insights from Oppression and Allyship.Richard Matthews - 2024 - International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics 17 (1):49-72.
    Conscientious refusal involves decisions by healthcare workers, on grounds of their conscience, to refuse to provide legal, professionally permissible and safe health interventions to patients. Conscientious provision involves decisions by healthcare workers, also on grounds of conscience, to provide safe and beneficial healthcare to patients that is prohibited by law or policy. Some bioethicists believe that the moral issues governing both are identical, and that if one permits conscientious refusals, one should also permit conscientious provisions. This article argues that this (...)

    Being an Anorectic versus Having Anorexia: Should the DSM Diagnostic Criteria Be Modified?Melayna Schiff - 2024 - International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics 17 (1):25-48.
    The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders classifies “anorexia nervosa” as a mental disorder, yet individuals with anorexia often characterize it as an identity. The author describes the identity of being an anorectic and compares it with what it takes to have anorexia in the diagnostic sense. This furthers the existing scholarship on anorexia and identity, most notably by revealing a disconnect between being an anorectic and having anorexia: Some individuals inhabit the identity of being an anorectic but do (...)

    Locating Abortion and Contraception on the Obstetric Violence Continuum.Zoe L. Tongue - 2024 - International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics 17 (1):1-24.
    This article builds on existing feminist literature on obstetric violence in the context of childbirth to argue that there is a continuum of obstetric violence that also includes that perpetuated in relation to pregnancy prevention and termination, as well as antenatal healthcare and birth. This structural violence is highlighted in relation to conscientious objection, the reporting of people suspected of illegal abortions by their healthcare providers, and contraceptive coercion. Recognizing the limitations of criminal and human rights approaches to obstetric violence, (...)
