Sep 15, 2022.

Surveilling women's reproductive lives contributes to the creation of a culture of fear that erodes not only social relationships and sexual intimacy, but also the broader society itself.
"By 1989, Ceausescu's brutal antiabortion policies had tragically elevated Romania's maternal mortality rate to the highest in Europe: 87 percent of maternal deaths were attributed to complications from illegal abortion."
