Abstract
This article takes as its departure a critique of the ‘adoption fallacy’ underlying the US Supreme Court decision Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization to argue that the Dobbs decision incentivizes a reconsideration of social work practice as a site for advancing reproductive justice. To do this, however, social work must strive to decolonize the profession by critically reflecting on its role in reproductive policy and politics, particularly its complicity in abortion and adoption decisions that may have limited—and continue to limit—reproductive justice. Only then can social work effectively counter the adoption fallacy and advocate more broadly for reproductive justice.
本文的出发点是对美国最高法院判决Dobbs v. Jackson妇女健康组织背后的“收养谬误”的批判,认为Dobbs的判决激励了社会工作实践作为促进生殖正义的场所的重新考虑。然而,要做到这一点,社会工作必须努力通过批判性地反思其在生殖政策和政治中的作用,特别是其在堕胎和收养决定中的共谋,从而使这一职业非殖民化,这些决定可能限制并继续限制生殖正义。只有这样,社会工作才能有效地反对收养谬论,并更广泛地倡导生殖正义。
