Citizens at Conception? Prenatal Personhood and SCHIP Eligibility

Judith Hennessy

What are the (un)intended consequences of a citizens at conception policy? This article explores whether redefining a child does indeed spur a material expansion of benefits through the States Children’s Insurance Program (SCHIP) or whether this action can be better understood as a struggle over symbolic boundaries of fetal personhood, social boundaries of citizenship, and the attendant challenges to women’s reproductive rights.

Key Words: personhood • citizenship • prenatal care • immigrant women • symbolic boundaries
