Contraceptive Train
The Contraceptive Train was an women's rights activism event which took place on the 22nd of May 1971. Members of the Irish Women's Liberation Movement (IWLM), in protest against the law prohibiting the importation and sale of contraceptives in the Republic of Ireland, traveled to Belfast to purchase contraceptives.
== The protest ==
In 1971 on a Saturday in May the group met at Connolly Station in Dublin and then traveled to Belfast in Northern Ireland to purchase contraceptives which were banned in the Republic of Ireland.〔 The IWLM members were divided about who should go to Belfast. Some members thought that single women should not go because "buying contraception implied they were having sex before marriage."
Contraception in the Republic of Ireland had been illegal since 1935 under the 1935 Criminal Law (Amendment) Act and while contraception was legal in Northern Ireland it was restricted, so the women involved could not get the pill without a doctor's prescription (even though they tried). The women bought condoms and spermicide jelly, and instead of buying the pill they bought hundreds of packets of aspirin, as they realized that the majority of the custom officials would not know what the pill would looked like. They were followed by television crews from America, Japan and Ireland.〔
On arrival back at Connolly Station, there were protesters demonstrating, waiting for them to arrive. At customs, the women involved loudly declared what they had purchased and refused to hand over the contraceptives.〔 Some women publicly swallowed the aspirin in defiance of the law, pretending that they were the pill.〔 Others waved the contraceptives in the air as the passed through the station.〔
Women who were involved with the Contraceptive Train put themselves at risk of being detained or prosecuted for bringing birth control into Ireland. They also risked social stigma from their families and friends.
