Description: Politics of Morality : The Church, the State, and Reproductive Rights in Postsocialist Poland, Paperback by Mishtal, Joanna, ISBN 0821421409, ISBN-13 9780821421406, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Mishtal, who defected from Poland to the United States as a 16-year-old tennis player in 1981, explores the contentious politics of morality imposed by the Catholic Church since the 1989 transition to independence. While women’s right to abortion did not come into being in the . until 1973 with Roe v. Wade, the Soviet socialist state as a secular entity offered a kind of “state feminism” long before, during which time the Catholic Church did not talk about abortion nor have a moralistic tone regarding reproduction for the most part. She adds that while Poland is committed to neoliberal economics, class stratification is on the rise, which is disproportionally affecting women. Six chapters and conclusion are: “the church was helping us win freedom”; restricting access to reproductive services; women respond; confessions, Koleda rituals, and other surveillance; abortion, polish style; the “dying nation” and the postsocialist logics of declining motherhood; conclusion: the future of women’s rights in Poland.
