The Women 'Shouting' their Abortions

BBC World Service - Trending, The Women 'Shouting' their Abortions

Should women 'shout' their abortion online?

Why women are sharing deeply personal stories about having an abortion. Plus, the Yemeni doctor who tried to tell the world about the war in his country.

We hear why women around the world are sharing deeply personal stories about having an abortion and publishing their experiences to social media. And, we talk to one of those who strongly object to what is being shared. 

And, we speak to the daughter of a Yemeni doctor who tried to tell the world about the war in his country. Not everyone liked what he had to say - and he disappeared over a month ago. Joining us in the studio are Anne-Marie Tomchak @AMTomchak and Mai Noman @MaiNoman.
