BIG ISSUES: WHY I PRAY OUTSIDE ABORTION CLINICS

The Green Room presents two different personal perspectives on abortion. In this film a campaigner holds a vigil outside an abortion clinic and explains why she feels her mission is to change women’s minds: “I am where I’m supposed to be.”

Abortion is a topic which affects many people and provokes strong reactions. For another perspective, watch “My abortion story.

For more discussion of this topic, listen to Woman’s Hour.
