In this episode, host Mirelle Harris looks at the topical and emotive subject of abortion in the UK.

It’s 50 years since the Abortion Act came into effect in Great Britain, which allowed the ending of pregnancies by registered practitioners, under certain conditions, though this didn’t include Northern Ireland.

Without those ‘certain conditions’ in place, abortion is a criminal offence.

Mirelle meets policy makers responsible for making laws, medical professionals working in hospitals and clinics, and speaks to groups opposed to abortion under any circumstance; She also hears intimate stories from women who have experienced abortion.
