Obedient mothers, healthy children: communication on the risks of reproduction in state-socialist Czechoslovakia.
Med Humanit
June 2023
Department of Gender and Sociology, Institute of Sociology CAS, Prague, Czech Republic.
The article analyses medical communication in popular media relating to the risks in reproduction in the state-socialist Czechoslovakia between 1948 and 1989 and shows how it used emotions as an instrument to control women's reproductive behaviour. In particular, we use an approach inspired by Donati's (1992) political discourse analysis and by Snow and Bedford's (1988) framing analysis to explore communication on the risk of infertility in the abortion debate, the risk of fetal abnormalities in the prenatal screening debate, and the risk of emotional deprivation and morbidity in infants in the debate on mothering practices. The analysis contributes to the knowledge on how the construction of risk in reproduction, including childcare, serves to create a moral order of motherhood by defining what constitutes 'irresponsible' reproductive behaviours and their associated risks, and in doing so may lead to the further marginalisation of already marginalised people.

Before 1990, abortions were highly prevalent in Eastern Europe, including Czechoslovakia. After 1990, the Czech and Slovak populations experienced a significant decrease in the abortion rate. Because both states have complete statistics on abortion and identical histories of abortion legislation, trends in abortion rates between 1988 and 2008 can be compared in detail using standard and decomposition methods.
