Added: (Tue Apr 14 2009)
Pressbox (Press Release) -
While politicians, church and media argue the case over advertising contraception and abortion services on TV, this report from the Battle of Ideas get to the heart of the issue, our attitude to abortion and life itself.
This extraordinary debate takes us beyond the usual tired arguments. Anne Furedi, Chief Executive of the British Pregnancy Advisory Service and John Wyatt, Professor of ethics & perinatology at University College London help draw out a pro-human perspective on abortion; why it is needed, on choice, autonomy and our attitude to life . If sex is to remain fun and not just for procreation, Anne Furedi argues, we need abortion as a backup and we need the freedom to make these decisions ourselves.
