In the context of Ireland's new legislation governing abortion, I outline and examine the spatial consequences of political decision-making. I argue that Ireland's new abortion law and its clinical guidance permit travel for some pregnant people but impose fixity on others. I analyse the spatial consequences of legal limitations, including non-medically necessary delays in care and medical control of medication abortions, that necessitate travel for abortion. I demonstrate how current laws fix some pregnant people in place, including diverse migrant populations within Ireland, with no possibilities for abortion-related travel. This critique of the 'new' law demonstrates the Irish state's continued political and medical control of abortion.

This paper examines the limits of reciprocity in women's friendships in the face of government restraint. It argues that Ontario government policy directions that assume a reliance on friends for support and assistance threatens the voluntariness of friendship relations and risks jeopardizing aspects of friendship that women identify as important. ; Cet article étudie les limites de la réciprocité dans les amitiés des femmes face à la contrainte imposée par le gouvernement 11 soutient que les directions de la politique de l'Ontario qui présume une dépendance sur les amis afin de trouver support et aide menace les amitiés volontaires et risque de compromettre les aspects de l'amitié qui sont importants aux femmes

To position Canada as a world leader in the "knowledge-based" economy, in 2000, the Canadian government established a multi-million-dollar initiative to appoint 2,000 scholars as Canada Research Chairs (CRC). Women are seriously underrepresented among CRC research "stars," and no data are kept for other equity groups. Eight women initiated a complaint with the Canadian Human Rights Commission in 2003 in an attempt to remedy inequities, and a national discussion has ensued over excellence and equity. We provide a brief outline of the CRC Program and demonstrate how it perpetuates a narrow conception of innovation and excellence, which further institutionalizes inequalities for women and faculty members from other equity groups in Canadian universities. We describe the strategy of the human rights complaint and remedies negotiated in the settlement of 2006. We argue for a broader conceptualization and contextualization of "excellence," and for research not in the private, but the public good.
