Abortion in Turkey - AKP and Biopolitics

NEWBOOK "This book argues that the biopolitics of abortion in Turkey deepened during the AKP period and penetrated into every aspect of life, and is based on the claim that the techniques and discourses used in this context differed from previous periods and that neoliberal and conservative policies were carried out with nationalist and sexist attacks." It is one of the difficult issues in their struggle to claim their own lives. The book in your hand deals with abortion policies from a historical perspective. When did abortion and birth control leave the recesses of the private sphere and become the subject of state policies? What was the meaning of pitting the "right to life of the fetus" against women's control over their bodies? What kind of continuities and breaks are there between population policies in the 20th century and today's biopolitics? How have feminists debated this difficult issue? At a time when attacks on women's lives, bodies, freedoms, and any manifestation of the idea of gender equality are accelerating, this comprehensive study of the feminist debate of abortion is thought-provoking and eye-opening.
