US Fertility Prevention as Poverty Prevention: An Empirical Question and Social Justice Issue
Women's Health Issues, 11/04/09

Romero D et al. – The majority of empirical analyses of the family cap have found that the policy has not had an impact on poor women's reproductive health behaviors. In addition, the exclusive application of this policy to poor women receiving cash assistance is demonstrated to be in violation of eight international human and reproductive rights documents, several of which the US is a signatory. These two findings make a strong case that policy makers and social and health researchers alike critically reexamine whether a policy that has not achieved its ostensible goal and is applied in a disparate manner – primarily to poor women and families and women of color – should continue to be implemented by the states.

We hope that the findings from our research will provide the impetus for thoughful policymakers to reconsider the family-cap policy and support more useful means to enable poor women with children to "escape poverty."
