Jump To Comment: 1 2 3The background to the Symphysiotomy practice in Ireland.
Symphysiotomy:Mutilating mothers in the name of God: the story of a cruel childbirth
operation.
This program tells the horrifying story of how hundreds of women in Ireland
were subjected to a mutilating childbirth operation driven by
religious fanaticism rather than medical necessity. From 1944-84,
fundamentalist Catholic doctors boycotted Caesarean section because
they were opposed to birth control: they opted instead for a barbaric
18th century operation that severed the pelvis.
Anyone directly affected by the issues raised in this programme may
phone 086 86 98 373 for information and advice.
This program is a recording of a meeting held by the Feminist Open Forum in Dublin Thursday 29 October 2009
with speakers including:
Marie O’Connor Health Analyst and Author
Jackie Morrissey Researcher and Lecturer
Colm McGeehin, a solicitor who represents over 100 women who are casualties of this horrible childbirth operation.
The Feminist Open Forum is a space for discussion, information and exchange of ideas.
