本文试图通过结合生育控制的女性主义分析与生育过程和结果的人口解剖，以及对国家统治和适应的政治经济调查，加深对生育政治的理解。本文以中国农村计划生育政策为研究对象，认为在中国农村计划生育和人口政策的制定过程中，妇女不仅是受害者，而且是行动者。在陕西省，农民对他们不喜欢的政策内容提出异议，迫使当地官员就政策执行的条件进行谈判。然而，对这一政策的抵制产生了相互矛盾的效果。在增加允许生育子女数量的同时，它使妇女的身体处于危险之中，并加强了她们的社会从属地位。具有讽刺意味的是，抵抗运动的目的是重现妇女所质疑的国家对生育的控制。
This article seeks to deepen the understanding of reproductive politics by conjoining a feminist analytics of reproductive control with a demographic dissection of reproductive process and outcome, as well as a political-economic enquiry into state domination and accommodation. Focusing on China's one-child-per-family birth control program, it argues that women are not only victims but also agents in the practice of controlling births and making population policy in China's villages. In Shaanxi Province, peasants have contested policy elements they do not like, forcing local officials to negotiate the terms of policy implementation. Resistance to the policy has had contradictory effects, however. while increasing the number of children allowed, it has put women's bodies at risk and reinforced their social subordination. Ironically, resistance has worked to reproduce the very state control over childbearing that women have contested.
