Prof. Goodwin Writes Op-Ed, 'Who Owns Your Womb?'

Professor Michele Goodwin wrote an op-ed for AlterNet entitled "Who Owns Your Womb? Women Can Get Murder Charge for Refusing C-Sections." The piece highlights the expanding rate of cesarean births in the United States from 4% three decades ago to more than 30% today. The article argues that these surgeries not only cause medical risks to women, but are problematically being used under threat of criminal sanction.
