Andrei, Andreea and Branda, Alina Abortion policy and social suffering: the objectification of Romanian women's bodies under communism (1966–1989). Women's History Review, 24 (6). pp. 881-899. ISSN 0961-2025 (2015)

The aim of this article is to address why and how the solution to the demographic decline envisaged by the Romanian communist state did not alleviate its repercussions on society, but rather generated untoward social, moral and gender effects that exacerbated the existing social pathology. This study centres on the social suffering experienced by Romanian women, revealing the close connection between their predicament and the state's flawed approach to the problem and focusing on their lived experiences of oppression, pain, shame and illness. Their suffering is framed as a response to forms of loss: the loss of health, the loss of dignity, and the loss of self.
