Summary:
"Accessing
abortion
services
is challenging in many countries around the world. Barriers often result from a combination of factors, including poor access to healthcare, geographic location, legal restrictions,
abortion
stigma, and moral conservatism. Repeated studies have indicated that restricting access to
abortion
does not prevent it happening, but rather displaces it elsewhere and often results in unsafe
abortion
contributing to maternal mortality. Those living on islands face particular challenges presented by the geographic isolation that often necessitates travelling to other jurisdictions, which is financially and emotionally burdensome. This collection of essays shines a light on two islands--Ireland (north and south) and
Prince
Edward
Island
, Canada--and considers for each
island
why and how
abortion
remains restricted, the nature of the discourse of
abortion
on the
island
, the impact that restrictions have had, on-going efforts to improve access, and recent activist successes."--Back cover.
