Summary
This article explores feminist scholarship on abortion, focusing on reproductive justice, the pregnant body, and abortion as a social good. It examines current discourse and politics surrounding abortion access, particularly post-COVID-19.
Area of Science:
- Feminist Studies
- Sociology of Reproduction
- Public Health Discourse
Background:
- Overview of abortion discourse, politics, and provision in the Anglophone West.
- Contextualizes developments in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Identifies limitations in current abortion scholarship, often focusing on negative aspects.
Purpose of the Study:
- To survey three promising directions for feminist abortion scholarship.
- To highlight scholarship that addresses intersectional inequalities in reproductive justice.
- To explore scholarship examining the embodied experience of abortion and its social meaning.
Main Methods:
- Literature review and synthesis of existing feminist scholarship on abortion.
- Analysis of discourse, politics, and provision of abortion.
- Identification of emerging theoretical frameworks in abortion studies.
Main Results:
- Identifies Reproductive Justice as a key framework, emphasizing intersectional inequalities.
- Highlights scholarship focusing on the particularity of the aborting body and its lived experience.
- Proposes amplifying the understanding of abortion as a social good, countering negative associations.
Conclusions:
- Feminist abortion scholarship can be enriched by focusing on reproductive justice, embodiment, and social good.
- There is a need to move beyond critique to amplify positive meanings and experiences of abortion.
- Introduces a special section of "Women's Studies International Forum" on 'Abortion at the edges'.

1.7K
Ethical dilemmas in nursing are of utmost importance, as they often arise from the tension between adhering to core ethical principles and the practical realities of healthcare delivery. These dilemmas require nurses to navigate complex situations where competing ethical considerations pull them in different directions.
Let us explore some examples to understand the potentially complex moral decisions nurses face.

Psychosurgery, the surgical alteration or permanent removal of brain tissue to alleviate severe psychological conditions, stands as one of the most radical and controversial treatments in the history of mental health care. Its development and application have evolved significantly, marked by dramatic shifts in scientific understanding and ethical perspectives.

00:47Radical Formation: Abstraction
4.1K
The electron of an atom can be abstracted from a compound by a relatively unstable radical to generate a new radical of relatively greater stability. For example, an initiator which forms radicals by homolysis can abstract a suitable species like a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom from a compound to generate a new radical. This ability of radicals to propagate by abstraction is a crucial feature of radical chain reactions.
Even though homolysis produces radicals, it is different from radical...

00:51Radical Formation: Elimination
2.1K
Another method of radical formation is the elimination process. It is the opposite of the addition route and is driven by the instability of the radical. For example, as depicted in Figure 1, dibenzoyl peroxide yields a pair of unstable radicals upon homolysis. Given its instability, this radical spontaneously undergoes elimination via a C–C bond cleavage to form a relatively more stable phenyl radical. The mechanism involves cleavage of the bond between the α and β positions with respect...
