Deeply pleased that Philomena Canning’s case has been settled by #HSE Long overdue vindication for a woman of outstanding integrity & a massive tribute to her courage #justice4philomena @midwives4choice m.facebook.com/story.php?sto…

Philomena Canning’s story ‘a human tragedy’ which highlights ‘some shocking aspects of public life’ #Justice4Philomena petition handover 12.30 pm at Dáil tomorrow irishexaminer.com/breakingne…

I’m calling on @SimonHarrisTD to do 3 things:
1. Ensure that Philomena gets these cancer drugs for free
2. Ensure that the settlement with the @hse happens immediately
3. Ensure that Philomena receives an apology for the appalling way she was treated by the HSE.

The Midwives Association fully supports the #Justice4Philomena campaign. 'It has been exhausting and dehumanising, yet while I do not harbour feelings of anger or enmity towards anyone in the HSE, I do harbour a deep craving for justice' #withwoman youtu.be/itYUiRfeph8

Heartbreaking! Philomena has spent her life fighting the HSE for evidenced based care for pregnant women. Now she is fighting them again but for her life. Shame on the HSE for dragging this out, give people the treatment they need! Sort it out @SimonHarrisTD

Thanks! The template "guarantees" given, including by @SimonHarrisTD, do not stand up to scrutiny, as @drboylan has show.

My letter on 'Catholic involvement in hospitals' exposes the contradiction between the actions of @SimonHarrisTD re 'the new NMH' and his 'reprimand' to the Bishop of Elphin

Philomena Canning from @Midwives4Choice raising the example of the limitations placed on staff in Catholic hospitals in the US as an indication of how the new NMH could operate.

Following Supreme Court ruling, Sarah Ewart @MrsEtoB, supported by Amnesty International, will now take a case to the Belfast High Court, seeking a 'declaration of incompatibility' of NI abortion law with UK's human rights obligations. #NowForNI #ItsTime amnesty.org.uk/safe-abortion…

“The(systematic) review compared studies of births planned in hospital, birth centres & found women have higher odds of normal vaginal birth at home or in birth centres” Gotta love evidence base! @MidwivesIreland @AlisonGandola @Nursefancypants @JeanDoherty111 @KimRyan_1985 xitter.cf/marytcurtin/status/100…
Meta-analysis indicated that women planning hospital births had statistically significantly lower odds of normal vaginal birth than in other planned settings. There were no statistically significant differences in infant mortality #MidwiferyUnits sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Agreed. But can better births be achieved within the coercive confines of the "active management" of women in labour? @Midwives4Choice

Women and Trans people in the North should not be left behind. I'm travelling to Belfast at the moment to meet with #Bus4Choice initiated by @ROSABelfast and Women on Web. #repealedthe8th #dubw xitter.cf/abortionpil/status/100…

It's important that cost does not become a barrier to abortion access after repeal. We call for FREE safe and legal abortion becuase that means access for everyone who needs it
Revealed: Most abortions carried out here expected to cost in region of €300 independent.ie/irish-news/ab…

Since being elected I've had a number of Bills to separate church & state. Now Leo is a fan of my 'early work' will he take action? Our Bill to take the Archbishop of the maternity hospital board wasn't even allowed be published! #dubw #repealedthe8th youtube.com/watch?v=nvDJ5crO…
