In the wake of Roe: Hope in Ireland's example Breaking Glass

Abortion saves lives. Abortion is healthcare. Abortion should never have been politicized.

But it was. And in the wake of Roe v. Wade being overturned, when we're mostly full of anger and sorrow, we really need glimmers of hope. One such spark can be found in a place one might expect fervent opposition to abortion: Ireland. In this rerelease of one of our very first episodes, Ailbhe joins Sabrina & Kassia to share how she organized a national movement to legalize abortion in Ireland. They talk about:

• Her experience growing up gay in a conservative Catholic community
• How she navigated oppressive cultural gender expectations
• Why the Irish campaign for reproductive rights was ultimately successful
