Ep 219 #8thRef Eve: 'It was a pre-emptive strike against women’s liberation'

On #8thRef Eve, we invited three women into studio to reflect on the campaign with Kathy Sheridan. Straight from doing her rounds at the National Maternity Hospital on Holles Street in Dublin, Master of that hospital, Rhona Mahony, joined Professor Fiona de Londras, an Irish academic and the Professor of Global Legal Studies at the University of Birmingham, to look back on what has felt like a very long campaign. Also joining them in studio was acclaimed American journalist Katha Pollitt, author of author of Pro: Reclaiming Abortion Rights, who has been here for the past week to cover the referendum for The Nation. Before all that, and after an editorial in The Irish Times calling for a repeal of the Eighth Amendment, Tara Flynn puts words to The Women's Podcast's view on the referendum. Hosted on Acast.
