Support for abortion rights has been deemed a central
tenet of the feminist movement for decades. The
assumption that there is an inextricable link between
feminism and 'the right to choose' informs the basis
of this work. Its main aim is to highlight the
principles that inform feminist opposition to
abortion, which first necessitates a discussion on
the evolution of the feminist movement. This initial
focus at the macro level sets the context for an
exploration of feminist theory and practice at the
micro level. Against the backdrop of Irish abortion
policy, this book explores Irish feminist
perspectives on both support for and opposition to
abortion by providing cogent analyses of concepts
such as oppression and false equality . It
demonstrates that the tendency to reduce the debate
on abortion to the tension between the secular and
the sacerdotal is no longer tenable. Therefore this
book is of interest to those who seek to look beyond
the limited analyses of abortion politics that fail
to fully capture the dynamics of respective
positions, which ultimately shut the door on any
meaningful engagement on this important social issue.
