We also see that a consummate means by which states seek to consolidate power in the reproductive realm is through expansion of the biomedical concept of risk. This critical observation emerges repeatedly in this collection.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lauren Fordyce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826518206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826518200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vanderbilt University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 6.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Lauren Fordyce","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48112981672191,"sku":"9780826518200","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c38cdf6c-1aed-49cc-b57b-31197d8a34d0.jpg?v=1769612254","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/risk-reproduction-and-narratives-of-lauren-fordyce-9780826518200","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
