| Zusammenfassung: | The current abortion conversation is disordered by a justification framework rooted in patriarchal and misogynist assumptions about women, pregnancy, childbearing, and mothering. This traditionalist framing of the abortion conversation relies heavily on misleading and damaging stereotypes about women who have abortions that have functioned to stigmatize abortion and the women who have them. This stigmatization has contributed to the effective erasure of women’s voices and experiences in discussions about abortion. Recognizing the value of the feminist methodological claim for situated knowledge, this paper examines the moral wisdom of women who have terminated pregnancies for fetal anomalies, in order to explore how their experiences might contribute to a more morally robust framework for understanding the moral complexity of abortion decisions and theorizing new ways of understanding the ontological meaning of gestation. |
