Part 2 of Ch 3 Conceiving Christian America; Embryo Adoption and Reproductive Politics by Risa Cromer, as discussion
Please join us for part 2 of Ch 3! Listen as we conclude our discussion of the chapter and become completely derailed by a three pound cat.
Author Risa Cromer provides an excellent study of the history of the push for embryo personhood and how the language of adoptin is being used by nationalist white evangelical christians to subvert reproductive justice. As adopted people, Lynn and I explore what this concept of embryo adoption means to us and how scary this all is to contemplate. The book is timely, as reproductive rights continue to be eroded, and the transfer of children from family to strangers is being pushed even harder by adoption advocates.
Plus, theres a cat.
Mentioned in the episode:
Conceiving Christian America: Embryo Adoption and Reproductive Politics (Anthropologies of American Medicine: Culture, Power, and Practice) - Kindle edition by Cromer, Risa. Religion & Spirituality Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.
Birthrates are declining globally – here's why it matters | World Economic Forum (weforum.org)
The opinions of the hosts are just that, their opinions. The hosts are not lawyers, therapists, or fertility specialists. They are two adopted people; one white, late-discovery, international, non-binary and bisexual; the other transracial, domestic, cishet. Both old enough to (mostly) know better. Thank you for listening!
