It is impossible to engage with this decision without a broader consideration of the harm that is wrought on the lives of women in Ireland by the Eighth amendment to the Irish Constitution: Article 40.3.3. The content of my commentary uses two frames of analysis developed in the work of academic Robin West.2 First, I consider West’s concept of ‘gendered harms’ in the spheres of reproduction and pregnancy. Joanne Conaghan summarises the concept of ‘gendered harms’ as ‘but one way of recognising that injury has a social as well as an individual dimension’ and an acknowledgement of the way in which harms can impact particular group members.3 Legal systems can compound and legitimate harms that are experienced disproportionately or solely by women, especially in the sphere of reproduction.4 This harm plays out differently depending on how gender interacts with other social dynamics such as ethnicity in the regulation of reproduction.
