      abstract = {"This text addresses the Philippines' historical and  contemporary reproductive politics, offering a timely  insight into the rich reproductive lives of Filipinos. It  critically explores stories of sexuality, religiosity, and  reproductive livelihoods during the immediate aftermath of  the passing of the 'Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive  Health Act' of 2012 after more than fifteen years of  opposition by the Philippine Catholic Church. Commonly  called the "RH Law", it aims to provide public access to  reproductive and family planning services for Filipino  women and men, especially those from poorer communities who  often experience unwanted pregnancies, complications from  illegal abortions, and exacerbated economic hardship. This  book explores the intimate and urban after-effects of  globalization, and how they shape the "reproductive  dilemmas" of Filipinos in Metropolitan "Metro" Manila. It  constructs a balanced portrait of the country's  reproductive politics within Metro Manila's rapidly  changing terrains, showing how "reproductive dilemmas" are  produced within a context that is at once fraught by  conservative religious discourse and also rapidly  globalizing, and where aspects of intimate lives have  become both transnational and fragmented."--},
