This article examines how socialist experts were integrated into the entrenched global agenda of demographic security. The interplay of supranational and national priorities of reproductive politics is examined through three progressively developing practices: (1) research on "congenital malformations" as an argument for surveillance over women since the mid-1950s; (2) involvement of socialist experts in global debates regarding reproductive responsibility in the 1960s; and (3) revision of approaches to the "right to life" during the 1970s and 1980s. The layering and conversion of these practices explains the role of reproductive injustice in extensive segregation against people with disabilities in post-socialist countries.
