Finding colleagues, finding home, finding energy
African feminist pro-choice abortion activism and political mobilization is shaped by colonial legacies in a multitude of ways. A key area where sustained colonial dynamics are visible is in the relationship between pro-choice abortion activists and organizations funded by and/or located in the Global North. How activists in the African space navigate these relationships and infrastructures has been a sustained site of critique within decolonial …

Under the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018, a range of abortion care pathways have been introduced in the Republic of Ireland since 2019. The new abortion services were intended to transform the Republic of Ireland from a hyper restrictive to a liberal abortion regime. Healthcare providers, committed to making abortion care a reality in Ireland, were central to establishing and implementing abortion services. Literature on…
Beyond the State
For abortion seekers, Peru is an uncaring state where legal and policy interventions have resulted in violence, persecution, and neglect. This state of abortion uncare is set within historic and ongoing denials of reproductive autonomy, coercive reproductive care, and the marginalisation of abortion. Abortion is not supported, even where legally permissible. Here we explore abortion care activism within the Peruvian context, foregrounding a key m…
From Feminist Anarchy to Decolonisation
This article analyses abortion health activism (AHA) in the Irish context. AHA is a form of activism focused on enabling abortion access where it is restricted. Historically, AHA has involved facilitating the movement of abortion seekers along 'abortion trails' (Rossiter, 2009). Organisations operate transnationally, enabling access to abortion care across borders. Such AHA is a form of feminist anarchism, resisting prohibitions on abortion throu…
Abortion, emotions, and health provision
This article interrogates health care professionals' (HCPs) decision to withdraw from or provide abortion care using cultural theories of affect and emotion. It argues that emotional reactions to imagined futures influence the actions of health care practitioners. This proposition draws together cultural theory of affect with qualitative evidence from a scoping study of abortion care and Ireland. Our analysis suggests that discussions as to why c…
Time to look in/at anger
Mental and emotional well-being is steadily overtaking physical difficulty as the biggest health challenge facing young people. As a result, young people’s emotional well-being and needs are a significant concern within contemporary youth studies. However, the intricacies of ‘managing emotion’ have been somewhat neglected in the context of youth studies. In particular, the role of discourses of emotional well-being to produce ‘feeling rules’ [Bol…
