Trigger Warning: This episode contains reference to sexual assault, violence, pregnancy and childbirth, miscarriages and abortion, and murder of children.
Though the United States had added abortion rights to the Constitution in 1973, Ireland would not see similar changes until the late 1990s.
In 1984, two infants were found deceased, and one woman, Joanne Hayes, would blamed for the murders of them both.
In this episode, Madigan speaks on the history of the tie between church and State in Ireland, the patriarchal control it had over Ireland's women, and the desperate measures pregnant people would take in this time.
How can the story of Joanne and the Kerry Babies be used as a cautionary tale for abortion laws in the US today?
