Summary: "The Unwelcome Child: Or, The Crime of an Undesigned and Undesired Maternity" by Henry C. Wright is a socio-ethical treatise written in the late 19th century. This work explores the profound implications of unwanted pregnancies and the responsibilities of both parents, focusing on the moral and emotional dimensions of maternity from a woman's perspective. Wright presents a compelling argument against the imposition of maternity on women who are not ready or willing, emphasizing the psychological impact on both the mother and child. At the start of the text, the author lays the groundwork for discussing the moral complexities surrounding maternity by addressing a letter from a husband that raises questions about the obligations and expectations within marital relationships. Wright emphasizes the mother's central role in nurturing life, asserting that the conditions surrounding conception and pregnancy profoundly shape the child's future character and well-being. He argues that forcing an undesired maternity on a woman not only violates her autonomy but also adversely affects her relationship with her husband and the love she can have for her child, setting the stage for a broader discussion on parental responsibilities.
