Abstract:
"For Haredi Jews, reproduction is entangled with issues of health, bodily governance and identity. This is an analysis of the ways in which Haredi Jews negotiate healthcare services using theoretical perspectives in political philosophy.

It will allow readers to understand how reproductive care issues affect this growing minority population"--
