Foetus Envy by Maureen Cummins

Foetus Envy is a grim and satirical look at the relationship between the present state of reproductive rights in this country and the history of eugenics and enforced pregnancy. An imagined mental illness, “Foetus Envy" turns otherwise cheerful, angelic, and biologically fit wives into “Resistant Mothers,” women who do not wish to procreate and stubbornly refuse to accept the naturally superior powers, privileges, and legal protections of their unborn offspring.
