印度(以及全球)的绝育有着充满争议和深度政治化的历史。尽管存在这一令人不安的遗留问题,印度仍然依赖女性绝育作为避孕和计划生育的主要形式。堕胎自 1971 年以来就在广泛的基础上合法化,在妇女生殖生命过程的不同阶段与绝育交叉。本章借鉴印度卡纳塔克邦(2017 年)探索女性堕胎轨迹的三个案例研究,探讨了绝育作为女性堕胎叙述中的生殖技术 (RT)。其中包括绝育失败而需要堕胎的经历,以及有关带有绝育条件的堕胎前和堕胎后咨询的叙述。妇女报告说,医护人员因她们在上次怀孕后没有进行绝育而羞辱或责骂她们,这表明绝育作为一种使用“健康”框架的强制社会规范的重要性。我以生殖正义(RJ)为视角,分析了绝育与堕胎如何相互作用,以及围绕这两种技术的耻辱和耻辱叙述,并揭示了它导致对妇女生殖自由的否认和限制的方式。
Sterilisation in India (and globally) has a contentious and deeply politicised history. Despite this troubling legacy, India continues to rely on female sterilisation as the main form of contraception and family planning. Abortion, which has been legal under broad grounds since 1971, intersects with sterilisation at different points over women's reproductive lifecourse. Drawing on three case studies exploring women's abortion trajectories in Karnataka, India (2017), this chapter examines sterilisation as a reproductive technology (RT) in women's abortion narratives. These include experiences of failed sterilisation necessitating abortion, as well as narratives around pre-and post-abortion counselling with sterilisation conditionalities. Women report healthcare workers shaming or scolding them for not being sterilised after their last pregnancy–demonstrating the prominence of sterilisation as an enforced social norm using ‘health’frames. Using reproductive justice (RJ) as a lens, I analyse how sterilisation interacts with abortion and the narratives of shame and stigma that surround the two technologies and make visible the ways in which it results in the denial and restriction of women's reproductive freedoms.
