Women negotiate gendered discourses of reproductive agency in resolving unplanned pregnancies. Invoking an intersectional lens, this paper examines how these discursive dynamics differentiate across social class in the Global South context of the Philippines. Utilizing a novel mixed methods strategy, we triangulate quantitative findings from a Q sort task and qualitative accounts of pregnancy resolution to identify classed discourses of reproductive agency as (a) reclaiming maternal virtue and (b) asserting autonomous choice. Statistical analysis reveals significant discursive divergence across class, wherein working-class women primarily adopt maternal virtue discourses while middle-class women disproportionately subscribe to autonomous choice. Interpretative analysis of women’s accounts complicates this bifurcated characterization by surfacing the diverse ways by which women negotiate both discourses in narratives of abortion and carrying to term. We discuss our contributions to the literature in terms of multilevel theoretical engagement with classed complexity in gendered issues like reproductive agency as well as innovating mixed methods in intersectional research. We conclude with reflections on advancing reproductive justice, especially in Global South societies like the Philippines.

菲律宾生殖机构的交叉论述：妊娠解决分类结构的混合方法分析

妇女在解决计划外怀孕时就生殖机构的性别话语进行谈判。本文以交叉视角审视这些话语动态如何在菲律宾的全球南方背景下跨社会阶层区分。利用一种新的混合方法策略，我们对 Q 排序任务的定量发现和妊娠解决的定性描述进行三角测量，以将生殖机构的分类话语确定为（a）回收母性美德和（b）主张自主选择。统计分析揭示了跨阶级的显着话语差异，其中工人阶级女性主要采用母德话语，而中产阶级女性则不成比例地赞同自主选择。对妇女叙述的解释性分析使这种分叉的特征复杂化，因为妇女在堕胎和生育的叙述中谈判两种话语的方式多种多样。我们讨论了我们在多层次理论参与方面对文献的贡献，涉及性别问题的分类复杂性，如生殖机构以及在交叉研究中创新混合方法。最后，我们反思了推进生殖正义，特别是在像菲律宾这样的全球南方社会。我们讨论了我们在多层次理论参与方面对文献的贡献，涉及性别问题的分类复杂性，如生殖机构以及在交叉研究中创新混合方法。最后，我们反思了推进生殖正义，特别是在像菲律宾这样的全球南方社会。我们讨论了我们在多层次理论参与方面对文献的贡献，涉及性别问题的分类复杂性，如生殖机构以及在交叉研究中创新混合方法。最后，我们反思了推进生殖正义，特别是在像菲律宾这样的全球南方社会。
