More Autonomy, More Access: Denmark’s New Abortion Law: LWID S3E27 (replay)
Description
Abortion rights in Denmark expand boldly. Earlier this year, Denmark made history on abortion access. In this highlight from Season 3, Fionn and Katie reflect on the Danish Parliament’s vote to extend the abortion limit from 12 to 18 weeks and to grant decision-making rights to 15–17-year-olds. They explore the legal, medical, and emotional sides of the reform, bringing in their own Irish perspectives and lived experiences. The conversation digs into questions of bodily autonomy, political will, and the cultural differences between Denmark’s steady policy evolution and Ireland’s more high-stakes, all-or-nothing referenda. It’s a deeply personal and thought-provoking discussion about what it means to feel safe and supported by the country you live in—especially when it comes to healthcare and reproductive rights.
