- W2890847910 abstract "This chapter focuses on how state policies and society’s perception of the reproductivefunctions of women have a strong impact on women’s reproductive rights in Japan.Here we examine not only how the state encroaches on women’s contraceptive choicesand decisions about getting married and having a family, but also the relationshipbetween social and cultural norms of family and motherhood and women’s reproductive rights. Reproductive rights are, “the basic rights for all couples and individuals todecide freely and responsibly the number, spacing and timing of their children and tohave the information and means to do so, and the right to the highest attainable standard of sexual and reproductive health. They also include the right of all to makedecisions concerning reproduction free of discrimination, coercion and violence”(United Nations 1994, para. 7.3). Reproductive health and rights encompass sexuality,pregnancy and childbirth (reproduction), and should be addressed from the viewpointof rights and health of individuals and couples, especially women, throughout theirlifecycle (Ashino 2005, 11).There is a heavy focus on abortion in scholarly and activist discourse regardingreproductive rights in Japan because it is undoubtedly a fundamental issue in debatesover reproductive rights. However, the reproductive rights of women in Japan should beunderstood not only in terms of abortion and contraceptive use, but also in terms ofgeneral trends involving reproductive activities (birth rate, marriage and childrearing,sexual health, access to information and services related to reproductive health), andpolicies and legislation relating to family planning. As Cho (1997) argues, in reality theconcept of reproductive rights is not a simple matter of individuals’ choices and rights.Reproduction has social, cultural and political functions, and these functions have anespecially critical impact on women. Since women’s reproductive choices and activitiesare shaped by their legal, social, economic, and cultural context, it is important toassess how these factors shape the reproductive choices, practices, and rights of womenin Japan.Our analysis of women’s reproductive rights in Japan considers the context of thefalling birth rate, the high rate of abortion among younger women, the low rate ofother forms of contraceptive, particularly the Pill, and the co-existence of a legal banon abortion with the Maternal Protection Act allowing women to have an abortionunder certain circumstances. In particular, we assess to what extent Japanese womenhave control over their reproductive activities by exploring how women’s choices tohave children or not are influenced by state policies and laws, gendered employmentsystems, and societal and cultural norms regarding family and motherhood." @default.
