Abstract

Over the last decade, a paradox has emerged in U.S. law and society: the growing legalization and cultural acceptance of same-sex marriage, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, increasing legal restrictions and ongoing cultural ambivalence over abortion. This essay argues that the delinking of equal rights for LBG persons from reproductive freedom for women is no paradox at all, but is in fact predictable within the terms of highly moralized neoliberal conceptions of personal responsibility and sexual discipline.
