Visualize yourself, but as an another human, as a stronger, healthier, an overall superior person. The defects, diseases, disabilities, and weaknesses have vanished; now, you are unstoppable, except from the government of the United States of America. The US has yet to pass a law that allows eugenics in this free country. The government seems to believe that eugenics would destroy the human society. Nevertheless, eugenics would improve overall health, protect future generations, and level…

Abortion Betty Friedan, National Organization for Women, in a speech in 1969 about the call for the repeal of laws criminalizing abortion, said: “…there is no freedom, no equality, no full human dignity and personhood possible for women until we assert and demand the control over our own bodies, over our own reproductive process (18).” When it came to the debate about abortion feminist changed the face of it forever.

Through an examination of the Aids epidemic and eugenics, Mottier's "The State in the Bedroom" explores how the political becomes personal, as well as how sexuality intersects with other determinants of the social order. Throughout the text, there is also a salient message about hegemony's role in this convergence, thus relating to Connell's (1993) Masculinities.
