The idea of &ldquo\;reproductive regimes&rdquo\; has been emerging in scholarship describing some of these intersections of the biomedical and sociolegal\, focusing largely on areas like midwifery\, abortion care\, and substance use. Yet\, nearly all areas of public policy and law have implications for the reproduction of future generations\, from environmental regulation\, to transportation policy\, to immigration\, to housing policy\, and so on. In this presentation\, I develop an understanding of &ldquo\;reproductive policy regimes\,&rdquo\; to describe the underlying logics of pronatalism and eugenics\, bound up with colonialism\, imperialism\, and other forms of oppression that broadly inform law and policy making in Canada.
