- Description
- Within this article the writer has two objectives. Primarly the writer aims to place opposition to abortion in the nineteenth century within the context of general gender relations and anxieties. Arguably encompassing this the writer also aim to place the medical campaign within the context of both the broader concept of bio-power (the move to regulate and manage the movement, passions, and reproduction of populations), and the more specific anatomo-politics of the body (the disciplines and techniques focused upon individual bodies their forces and capacities). To locate the medical anti-abortion campaign in this context the writer intend to highlight the continuities that existed between the medical discourses that opposed increased female entry into education and employment, and those used in seeking the criminalisation of abortion.

- Description
- This article explores the context within which abortion law and discourse in Northern Ireland must be situated and understood, relying in part on post-modern insights into the wider and long-term implications of feminists engaging law and by examining the strategies employed in Northern Ireland around the issue of abortion. In 2001, the Family Planning Association (Northern Ireland) took legal action to force the devolved government to defend at a procedural level the unequal and uncertain form of common law abortion regulation for Northern Ireland. The authors examine the strategy of this review as well as the response of the High Court, suggesting that while it may begin to challenge the legitimacy of abortion law, feminists and pro-choice advocates must prepare for challenges beyond that, the greatest being the cultural challenge. The courts, legislators and other public and political institutions (including the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission and the Northern Ireland Women's Coalition) consistently explain the law's lack of provision for women with reference to the `pro-life' majority views of Northern Irish people. The authors question the legitimacy of this claim in a cultural climate of intimidation against the expression of alternative views.
