Description

Why is abortion such a controversial issue? Should sex-ed teach teens that they should abstain from all sexual activity until marriage? Do surrogacy contracts treat women as wombs-for-hire? Focusing on topics such as abortion, abstinence-only education and surrogate motherhood, this course will explore the complex and highly contested relationship among sex, gender, and reproduction. We will pay particular attention to how these tensions are manifested in the U. S. law.
