Reproductive rights and justice

Many of you will know about me because of my book Repealed: Ireland’s Ongoing Fight for Reproductive Rights which told the story of the repeal movement from the perspective of grass-roots activists. I’ve also written other books and articles about reproductive rights more broadly and about reproductive justice believing, as Laura Briggs puts it ‘all politics is reproductive rights politics. In this section, you’ll find articles and commentary on maternity care, obstetric violence, the role of education within healthcare worker professional practice and much more. This means seeing housing, the cost of childcare, the quality of a person’s job, their basic standard of health and living and the impact of borders on their lives as all part of the struggle for reproductive rights.
