The trauma of this... enraging and heartbreaking in equal measure - read the full article for more examples of the demonisation and criminalisation of women experiencing reproductive loss #History #WomensHistory #WomensHealth #ReproHist #ReproJustice
While the Trump administration has us all freaked out about the super messed up thing of the day, a young woman in Georgia is being charged with “concealing the death of another person” and “abandonment of a dead body” because she had a miscarriage.

She could face up to 13 years in prison.

For those who may be interested, the eventual introduction of the 1994 Stillbirth Act means that if you experienced a #stillbirth in #Ireland before 1995, you are still able to retrospectively register your baby's birth. #ReproHist #HistMed #MedHums #HistMidwifery #ReproductiveLoss #Miscarriage

This is *definitely* worth reading. New article in Medical History, 'Defective data: statistics, disability, and eugenic sterilisation in interwar Britain' (downloadable OA version via the link 👇).

#HistSTM #DisHist #Eugenics #ReproHist
There are a few findings in this article that I think will be of broad interest. First, it shows that eugenic sterilisation did happen in 1930s Britain, despite the failure of the eugenics society to secure legislation for it.
