Abstract
The authors discuss how feminist theory looks upon the use of
longterm contraceptives within the social policy framework,
and they also give an analysis of the usage of contraceptives
within the American legal system as well as the political reactions
to certain cases, as for example, the pregnancy of under-aged
young women. In the introductory part, they discuss feminism as
a criticism and feminism as a theory, producing therefore a survey
of different feminisms, from "liberal", through "cultural" to "pluralist
feminism".
