Project PhD student @idalvos.bsky.social recently presented her research at the 9th Global Meeting of Slavery Past, Present and Future, which was held at the @vuamsterdam.bsky.social. She talked about the role of religion in Dutch and Spanish free womb discussions in the 1850s and 1870s.

MPs vote to end prosecution for late term abortion in England and Wales Labour MP Tonia Antoniazzi led the call to decriminalise the 1% of abortions that happen after 24 weeks.

Finally! Abortion laws in the UK have been outdated and inhumane.
Nobody should be prosecuted for having to make the decision to have an abortion.

In March 1804, Juliana Sophia ran from her enslaver in St. Croix, Danish West Indies, seeking freedom for her unborn child. Hers is one of many instances where women sought freedom for the next generation in the #Caribbean - either alone, or with their children, parents, partners, and friends.

Opinion | A Brain-Dead Woman Is Being Kept on Machines to Gestate a Fetus. It Was Inevitable.

My guest essay for @nytimes.com about Adriana Smith. This situation is a tragedy from top to bottom, and there is so much complexity that can't be teased out in so few words. May she and the family left behind find peace soon.
