AI Article Synopsis
- The feminist and LGBTQIA+ movements in Spain have helped more people understand and support lesbian and bisexual mothers using assisted reproductive techniques.
- Before February 2023, lesbian couples had to marry to register their children together, and sperm donors had to remain anonymous in medical procedures.
- Researchers studied interviews with lesbian mothers to understand their experiences and how society's rules about sperm donation affect their ability to build families.
Article Abstract
The intersection between the feminist movement and the LGBTQIA + movement regarding assisted reproductive techniques has fostered greater openness towards the reproductive possibilities of lesbian and bisexual motherhood in Spain. Until February 2023, lesbian couples were obliged to marry in order to jointly register their children. Access to assisted reproductive technologies in Spain requires medicalised processes and the mandatory anonymity of sperm donors. In this context, we explore how lesbian mothers narrate their journeys towards parenthood through an analysis of interviews. As reproductive rights are individualised through the use of medical interventions, we apply the notion of reproductive justice as a lens to question how women's bodies are medicalised through a cultural and socio-legal system that imposes mandatory anonymous sperm donation over other possible forms of kinship construction.
