This article was originally presented on a panel of psychoanalysts and queer theorists writing about time. The article integrates psychoanalytic and queer theories of temporality to explore the raft of new legislative proposals and laws imbuing the fetus with status as a person. These laws create drastic changes in the citizenship and rights of the pregnant woman, in particular women of color and economically disadvantaged women, who are subject to increasing levels of criminal justice surveillance. Exploring the affective dynamics of the cultural body, this fetishization of the fetus is conceptualized as a way of splitting off anxieties, containing them within the vulnerable fetal body who, in this fantasy, is in need of rescue from the irresponsible and dangerous maternal body. As such, the cultural body is described as playing with time and futurity in order to disavow feelings of humiliation and vulnerability in the face of increasing global instabilities
