Book Description
Sister Paula was educated and trained as a licensed social worker and then came to California to work for Holy Family Adoption Services when she was twenty-six.

Although she died in 2021, Sister Paula’s work of protecting the unborn will never be forgotten.

Reproduction Reconceived
Author: Sara Matthiesen
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520298209
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
The landmark case Roe v. Wade helped cement a redefinition of family: it is now commonplace for Americans to treat having children as a choice. But the historic decision coincided with what would become a decades-long trend of widening inequality, ensuring that many families still struggle to obtain even basic necessities. Reproduction Reconceived examines how family making actually became harder after the arrival of choice, as different families confronted incarceration, for-profit and racist medical care, disease, poverty, and a welfare state in retreat. Drawing on diverse archival sources and interviews, Sara Matthiesen illustrates how the last fifty years of state neglect have ensured that, for most families, meaningful choice is nowhere to be found.
