Abstract

This chapter takes an intersectional approach to exploring the pressing ethico-legal challenges that result from or cause poor maternity care in the UK. Black women in the UK are, at present, five times more likely to die in childbirth as a result of a pervasive culture of obstetric racism and obstetric violence. This chapter outlines this problem and considers how the law might respond. This chapter also explores barriers to choices in and about birth and socio-medical pressures impacting on pregnant people’s behaviour, as facets of obstetric violence.
