SUMMARY:Abortion Democracy: Film Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:  \nGalway Pro-Choice ask – “Why are illegal abortions more accessible in Poland than legal ones in South Africa?” \n  \n“Please join us for a screening of this documentary feature which explores and contrasts changes in Poland and South Africa regarding abortion laws and their impact on the lives of women. \n  \nIn the 90’s\, Poland banned abortion due to the increasing influence of the Catholic Church after the fall of communism; around the same time South Africa legalized it\, reforming the health system after the fall of apartheid. \n  \nThe film reveals how the legal status of women is a direct result of the silencing or empowering of women’s voices. In the Polish society and media\, women’s perspectives were made invisible; in South Africa\, on the other hand\, they were invited to give public hearings in the parliament about problems in the realm of reproduction. \n  \nThe film aims to emphasize the need for safe abortions and liberal abortion laws. It also\, however\, illustrates the paradox that the implementation of such laws may have little effect on the accessibility of abortion services. In Poland\, for example\, illegal abortions are quite available and relatively safe; in South Africa\, where the law is very liberal\, women have a harder time getting information and services in public hospitals due to judgemental behavior of the health staff. Only a change in the fundamental social and cultural attitudes towards abortion\, contraception\, and reproductive health can ensure a woman’s right to choose in a world where about 80.000 women die every year from unsafe abortions. \n  \nAbortion Democracy lets its subjects speak for themselves. Interviews include personal stories from activists\, researchers\, health staff\, patients and other men and women who live with the problems every day. It is a thought provoking and challenging film for any audience interested in the international struggle for human rights. \n  \nThis story is of great relevance to the abortion rights struggle in Ireland.” \n

SUMMARY:Doctors for Choice Ireland: 'Being a Pro-Choice Doctor in Ireland'
DESCRIPTION:Many doctors in Ireland are pro-choice but have little opportunity to meet like minded colleagues. This results in doctors being isolated and often silent about their opinions and experience. Doctors For Choice are a holding a conference which aims to address the experience of being a pro choice doctor in Ireland. Our aim is to facilitate discussion and the sharing of opinions amongst colleagues of broadly similar opinions. The purpose is to provide support and build networks rather than recruit members. The programme is attached for your information. \n
