Misneach | May & Séamus McGee | 4/10/23 @ 21:30 | TG4

Toisc go ndearna an chéad trí thoircheas díobháil thromchúiseach leighis di, bhí a fhios ag May McGee go bhféadfadh leanbh eile a bheith marfach. In 1972, nuair a bhí frithghiniúint mídhleathach in Éirinn; cuireadh stop le hiarrachtaí glóthach speiricídeach a iomportáil, agus bhí May faoi bhagairt príosúin. Ghlac na McGees cás a bhuaigh siad ar achomharc sa Chúirt Uachtarach. Sé bliana ina dhiaidh sin, rinneadh frithghiniúint dleathach. Tugann an clár seo cuairt arís ar an rialú suntasach i gcuideachta lánúin neamhghnách as na Sceirí i mBaile Átha Cliath, nach raibh aon tuairim acu go mbeadh tionchar chomh domhain ag a ngníomhartha ar shochaí na hÉireann.

Because the first three pregnancies had caused her serious medical harm, May McGee knew that having another child could be fatal. It was 1972, when contraception was illegal in Ireland; attempts to import a spermicidal jelly were stopped, and May was threatened with jail. Undeterred, the McGees took a case which they won on appeal at the Supreme Court. Six years later, contraception was legalised. Misneach: The McGee Case revisits the landmark ruling in the company of an extraordinary couple from Skerries, who had no idea their actions would have such a profound effect on Irish society.
