This book reframes the Irish abortion narrative within the history
of women's reproductive health and explores the similarities and
differences that shaped the history of abortion within the two
states on the island of Ireland. Since the legalisation of abortion
in Britain in 1967, an estimated 200,000 women have travelled from
Ireland to England for an abortion. However, this abortion trail is
at least a century old and began with women migrating to Britain to
flee moral intolerance in Ireland towards unmarried mothers and
their offspring. This study highlights how attitudes to unmarried
motherhood reflected a broader cultural acceptance that morality
should trump concerns regarding maternal health. This rationale
bled into social and political responses to birth control and
abortion and was underpinned by an acknowledgement that in
prioritising morality some women would die.
