Views of Women's Reproductive Solutions in the 19th Century and their Historical and Contemporary Impact
Religion had a negative impact on women’s reproductive solutions during the 19th century. Historically, such problem was rooted in religious assumptions regarding sexuality and gender (Ruether, 2006). Arousell and Carlbom (2016) argue that the impact of both culture and religion on reproductive and sexual behavior as well as health care utilization is widely recognized in contemporary studies. Some of the studies hold that religious impact on women’s reproductive solutions reflects reproductive and sexual health outcomes (Arousell & Carlbom, 2016). Particularly, religion affiliation had a great influence on various reproductive issues, including abortion, contraception, and anesthetic usage. However, there is limited literature about the influence of religion on women’s views regarding reproductive solutions. In light of this, this proposed study examines the impact of religion on women’s views about reproductive solutions including contraceptive use, abortion, and anesthetic usage during the 19th century.
Significance of the Study
The proposed study will facilitate the researcher to gain insight into the impact that religion had on women’s perception of their reproductive solutions. Specifically, the study will delve into the influence of Christianity on reproductive and sexual matters, including abortion, contraceptive usage, and anesthetic usage during childbirth. With regard to abortion, the study will examine the different historical classifications of abortion.
