Irish Abortion Referendum

BBC World Service - BBC OS, Irish Abortion Referendum

The Republic of Ireland prepares to vote on legalising abortion

We have special coverage today from Ireland as the country prepares for a referendum on abortion: will it vote to keep terminations illegal? The issue has been dominating debate in Ireland. Nuala McGovern will hear from both sides and those with personal experiences. Also, in Sweden, the parliament has just voted to introduce a highly debated sexual consent law. And we'll hear global and cultural perspectives on living with your parents in your 20's and 30's - and whether you should pay rent for the privilege.
