| When communism collapsed in Central and Eastern Europe women seemed to lose the control they had gained over their reproductive lives. Abortion rights became more limited as did access to childcare and maternity benefits. The authors argue that this picture conceals two key points. First, the effects of both communism and post-communism for women's reproductive lives need to be understood as byproducts of state initiatives geared towards the fulfilment of quite different political goals - and not attempts to intervene in women's health and well-being per se. Second, these effects are very varied and cannot be attributed to a single cause. Central and Eastern Europe comprises a whole range of political, ethnic and religous groupings, the result being that women's reproductive lives have been shaped within a diversity of political processes. | |
