Transforming Abortion Law

Abortion Law Reform Strategies

Abortion law reform movements involve a broad constellation of actors and often takes years of committed activity to bring about change.

About this Project 

This project is led by Dr Claire Pierson and investigates the discourses and strategies used by abortion law reform movements. The first part of the project investigates strategies used in Northern Ireland and was written with Dr Fiona Bloomer of Ulster University with research support from Liza Caruana-Finkel (University of Liverpool). The briefing paper document and accompanying animation are based on the authors research findings and workshop discussions with abortion rights activists and was funded by a University of Liverpool impact grant.
