Powerful statement by Ireland at the UN CPD. At a time of so much rollback on reproductive and bodily autonomy globally, it's great to see Ireland's strong commitment to sexual & reproductive health & rights, the SDGs and international human rights law reaffirmed at the UN #CPD59

@AileenFKavanagh The IFPA was delighted to join the TriCON event last year to mark the achievement of May and Seamus McGee. They and their GP, IFPA founder Dr Jim Loughran, are among the heroes of #reproductiveautonomy we celebrate in this year's annual report shorturl.at/5OPCt

Behind landmark constitutional law cases often lie brave litigants who risked a lot to bring their cases to court. So it was with Mary & Seamus McGee whose courageous case led to the legalisation of contraception in Ireland 51 years ago today. It was a privilege to meet them.

Great article by @MaryCarolanIT @IrishTimes today, shining a spotlight on Mrs McGee’s landmark case in 1973 which led to the legalisation of contraception in Ireland, discussed at the @TriCONDublin conference on ‘Contraception and the Constitution’ @TLRHub @TCDLawSchool

Great article by @tortietabby - and very timely: we want to see law and policy on consent, confidentiality, adolescents' rights to bodily autonomy and access sexual and reproductive healthcare on the new government's agenda ifpa.ie/app/uploads/20… #SRHR #reproductiverights

Providers of abortion care have a moral commitment to supporting autonomy and health. "People make the decision that is best for them. The more you hear it, the more you realise that people have really thought about what is best in this situation." #ReproductiveAutonomy #SRHR

Abortion law should ensure access to and guarantee reproductive rights, and support bodily autonomy. The O'Shea report recommended several changes to Irish abortion law. We call on policymakers & Oireachtas members to action them in this Dail term. #InternationalSafeAbortionDay

It's #WorldContraceptionDay! Our clinics have seen first-hand the success of the free contraception scheme. But many clients are excluded for no reason other than age. Extending the scheme further is critical - cost shouldn't be a barrier to contraception use for anyone.

Our Medical Director Dr Caitriona Henchion in @irishexaminer welcomes @DonnellyStephen's intention to lower the eligible age of free contraception to 16. We welcome this plan and look forward to further extension of the scheme in the new Dail term. tinyurl.com/2t8yvmvy
