Including voices from both sides of the debate, the primary focus is on two pro choice campaigners - veteran Ailbhe Smyth & glitter-activist Andrea Horan, as they chart a bold strategy of grassroots activism and engineer the impossible. See it now!

And now the fight is even more personal. On your side @DrAseemMalhotra I hope you get the answers you deserve. More importantly I hope we can achieve the change to fix our health service. Have got to change the mindset and get away from corrupt institutions influencing direction

Well Midwives September is the biggest month for births with the 17th and 23rd the most common day for a baby to be born in the year. It will be interesting to see if COVID has an impact on this seasonal wave.

Pregnant women and birthing people can now get their nails done, get a haircut or meet up to 6 friends, but in many areas still need to be alone for antenatal appointments or on the postnatal ward. This postcode lottery needs to end.

"Progress on women's rights is hard won but easily lost". On #InternationalWomensDay the @birthrightsorg team promise we will always #ChooseToChallenge when pregnant women's rights are under threat and where maternity staff are treated unfairly.
