Abstract

When engaging with the medical industrial complex during childbirth, women must navigate a complex medical network that engages medical, biological, economic, and social institutions.

Cultivating this ethos of consent within the medical industrial complex helps support a cultural shift in how women navigate healthcare within systems.
