{"product_id":"bishops-and-bodies-lori-freedman-9781978828865","title":"Bishops and Bodies: Reproductive Care in American Catholic Hospitals","description":"One out of every six patients in the United States is treated in a Catholic hospital that follows the policies of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. These policies prohibit abortion, sterilization, contraception, some treatments for miscarriage and gender confirmation, and other reproductive care, undermining hard-won patients' rights to bodily autonomy and informed decision-making. Drawing on rich interviews with patients and providers, this book reveals both how the bishops' directives operate and how people inside Catholic hospitals navigate the resulting restrictions on medical practice. In doing so, \u003ci\u003eBishops and Bodies\u003c\/i\u003e fleshes out a vivid picture of how The Church's stance on sex, reproduction, and \"life\" itself manifests in institutions that affect us all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lori Freedman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1978828861\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978828865\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/14\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.30w x 0.80d","brand":"Lori Freedman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071025443071,"sku":"9781978828865","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b91c90c0-f8b2-47c0-ba77-bb6ec5430ba4.jpg?v=1685433717","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bishops-and-bodies-lori-freedman-9781978828865","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
