Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The shift in global health policy from an emphasis on maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) marks a significant victory for many reasons. For feminists, this addresses concerns over the essentialist and pronatalist biases of the maternal frame, and it emancipates women beyond their socioculturally prescribed roles as mothers. Moreover, the shift to a focus on sexual and reproductive health and rights broadens commitments to health services like abortion access, services to address gender-based violence, and support for LGBTQ youth, and to potential beneficiaries beyond pregnant and parturient women. In this article, however, I argue that while this shift in policy focus represents an overdue discursive victory, there are more complex implications for both policies and the individuals that they affect. I suggest a more deliberate approach to the construction of unified, inclusive, reproductive subjects that can be situated in particular contexts and experiences. I also consider the ways in which a unified reproductive subject can combine the maternal with multiple (racialized, LGBTQ, variably abled) subjectivities in order to create possibilities for points of feminist (standpoint) inquiry, grounded normative analysis, and improved understanding of global reproductive justice that are fundamentally antiessentialist and capable of revealing situated knowledges.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
