“…Anxieties about natural versus artificial emerge in participant concerns about diet and lifestyle of donors and concerns about toxins, pesticides, and genetically modified ingredients in formula, illuminating the management of toxic exposure as an important component of contemporary Western motherhood (Afflerback et al. ; Armstrong ; Mackendrick , ; McCabe ; Reich ; Waggoner ). Rejection of infant formula based on potential toxicity from human‐made chemicals also unveils anxieties surrounding the natural/artificial dichotomy identified by Reich (), reflecting a strong preference for the inherent natural state of human milk and a rejection of the artificiality of formula.…”

“…This preoccupation with the polluting effects of vaccines can be understood within a broader contemporary concern with the long‐term effects of environmental toxins on the human body, which has sparked a burgeoning interest from social scientists, particularly researchers who study the connections between these concerns and consumer decisions in the context of mothering (Afflerback et al. ; Armstrong ; Mackendrick , ; McCabe ; Reich ,b; Waggoner ).

“…The calculation and management of risk is viewed as a professional responsibility on the part of midwives as well as the personal responsibility of pregnant and birthing women, with implications for women's experiences of birth and midwives' practice (Craven 2011;MacDonald 2008). Indeed, recent critical approaches to neoliberalism and maternity care argue that midwives' emphasis on choice and self-determination at birth points to how midwifery is enrolled in shaping neoliberal forms of conduct (Fannin 2013;McCabe 2016).

“…Логики оказания медицинской помощи… «естественные» подходы к родам [Lazarus, 1994;. Чтобы быть хорошими матерями и гражданами, женщины должны соблюдать строгий режим (репродуктивный аскетизм), оценивать риски для собственного здоровья и здоровья ребенка и уметь ориентироваться в указанных моделях McCabe, 2016]. Выбор той или иной модели доступен прежде всего состоятельным пациенткам с высоким уровнем образования -они лучше осведомлены о существующих вариантах помощи в родах и обладают финансовыми ресурсами, чтобы реализовать свои предпочтения [Lazarus, 1994;.…”

Неолиберальный гражданин в академической литературе все чаще отождествляется с потребителемна страницах текстов возникает своеобразный гибрид «гражданинпотребитель» [McCabe, 2016]. Женщины выступают уже не в роли объекта врачебных манипуляций и послушных исполнителей рекомендаций доктора, но в первую очередь в качестве рефлексивных покупателей, действующих в рамках маркетизированного здравоохранения .…”
