尽管美国青少年生育率持续下降，其后果越来越不明确，但将青少年怀孕视为病理的持续论述构成了公共卫生反应的结构。福柯的生物权力和统治的概念有助于理解和批判性地分析权力在与青春期生育有关的话语中的运作；具体地说，如何通过自我管理在身体和人口层面同时行使对生命的权力。通过使用国家非政府青少年怀孕预防组织的健康促进材料和政策文件进行情况分析，我确定了两种战略，通过这些战略来管理与青少年怀孕有关的机构和人口：产生危险的身体和主观性，以及部署异性恋监管制度。怀孕的青少年主体是通过规范判断、风险和尊重专家的公共卫生话语产生的，而怀孕的青少年身体则是通过贬低和救赎仪式来调节的。与此同时，青少年怀孕问题的广泛范围要求不同人群越来越多地采取自我管理和理性行为的形式。这一分析使我们能够挑战指导青少年怀孕预防工作的根深蒂固的假设，并探索对年轻女性生殖的污名化和监管加强和复制现有的健康和社会不平等的可能性。
Although the rate of adolescent childbearing in the USA continues to decline, and its consequences increasingly found to be equivocal, a persistent discourse of teen pregnancy as pathology structures public health responses. Foucault’s concepts of biopower and governmentality are useful to understand and critically analyze the operation of power in discourses related to adolescent childbearing; specifically, how power over life is simultaneously exercised at the level of the body and the population through self-governance. By conducting a situational analysis using health promotion materials and policy documents from a national, non-governmental teen pregnancy prevention organization, I identify two strategies through which the management of bodies and populations emerges in relation to teen pregnancy: the production of risky bodies and subjectivities and the deployment of a regulatory regime of heterosexuality. While the pregnant teenage subject is produced through public health discourses of normalizing judgment, risk, and deference to experts, the pregnant teen body is regulated through abjection and rites of redemption. At the same time, the expansive scope of the teen pregnancy ‘problem’ requires increasing forms of self-governance and rational behaviors from across diverse populations. This analysis enables us to challenge deeply entrenched assumptions guiding teen pregnancy prevention efforts and explore the possibility that the stigmatization and regulation of young women’s reproduction reinforce and reproduce existing health and social inequalities.
