Embryo Donation: The Government Adopts A Cause, Jaime E. Conde
Embryo Donation: The Government Adopts A Cause, Jaime E. Conde
William & Mary Journal of Race, Gender, and Social Justice

Fordham Urban Law Journal
This article explores whether motherhood may have any restorative effect on prostitution. Section I provides an overview of the crime of prostitution. It analyzes the underlying themes of autonomy, power, authority, and control, and considers whether prostitution is an example of the ultimate loss of these qualities, or an exercise of complete freedom and liberty in autonomy. Section II discusses how motherhood affects the life of a prostitute.
