In her lavishly illustrated extended essay Fetal Positions: Individualism,
Science, Vitality, Karen Newman argues that anatomists’ depictions of pregnancy
have always reduced the mother to an impassive vessel for a fetus that is
frequently granted semiautonomy and personality. This bias in visual
representation, she says, continues to shape attitudes to abortion. Published by
