ABSTRACT
Disability rights scholars Virginia Kallianes and Phyllis Rubenfeld consider how disabled women are constrained by assumptions that they are asexual, by lack of reproductive health care, contraception, and sexuality information, and how these women face social disapproval of their desire to be mothers. The authors argue that disabled women are at risk of a range of undesirable outcomes, including coercive sterilization, unwanted abortion or loss of child custody.
