What happens when women are denied control over their own bodies?
In this powerful episode of Beyond Diagnosis, host Rita De Michele speaks with former midwife and author Bridget Carrot about 1970s Ireland, when contraception was illegal, and women were expected to endure pregnancy, poverty, silence, and shame.
Through the story behind The Belfast Express, this conversation explores women’s health, body autonomy, reproductive rights, religious control, and why the fight for choice still matters today.
