NI550 - Abortion: Why Is Your Body Still A Battleground? - July/August 2024

Abortion has always been around. It’s a common part of everyday life. Yet this essential component of healthcare has become the focal point of a global attack on bodily autonomy and hard-won sexual and reproductive rights.
