Are current abortion laws fit for purpose? And should smartphones be banned in schools

Sean Fletcher and Holly Hamilton ask if current abortion laws are fit for purpose, debate whether smartphones should be banned for under 16s and meet a record-breaking juggler .

Sean Fletcher and Holly Hamilton host the show that puts the heart and soul into Sundays, bringing faith and ethics to the discussions that matter most. This week, the BBC was told that an unprecedented number of women are being investigated by police on suspicion of illegally ending a pregnancy. We ask if current abortion laws fit for purpose. Also, as new guidance is issued to schools in England aiming to stop the use of mobile phones during the school day, we’ll debate whether smartphones should be banned for under 16s. And, we meet the record-breaking juggler who says the hobby is good for the mind, body and soul.
