The second of two programmes about the ethical problems which face today's medical profession, and the rest of us.
Every Child a Wanted Child?
Horror stories about 'crying foetuses' have created public unease about the 1967 Abortion Act. Are 'abortions of convenience' becoming too common and too easy? . ,.
Women's rights organisations claim the stories are part of a propaganda war aimed at repealing the Act.
Tonight's programme reports on the struggle between those campaigning for better facilities for early abortions, and those who feel that the rights of the unborn child should come first.
