Tuesday 13th May, BBC 2, 9pm: Abortion - The Choice.
"Five women face up to their decision to have an abortion, describing their thought processes as they made one of the most difficult choices anybody can make, and on which there can be no hard and fast agreement. Beyond the chatter, 200,000 pregnancies are terminated in the UK each year and none is anything less than tortuous and painful - as demonstrated by this poignant film."

also, when i had my ERPC, the literature said you could have a coil inserted at the same time. which seemed weird seeing as that they dilate the cervix.

but i wonder, do they ever provide birth control counselling for women who are undergoing termination.

k, here's the one with the 23 weeker. i'm still not seeing why they can do abortions at this stage surgically, but a woman whose baby dies in her womb at the saem gestation is forced to undergo the trauma of being induced and giving birth.

anyone medical can explain?

this blonde gal seems to find it all very amusing.

So I am woman hating scum (nice, will look out for the next time you accuse someone else of being judgy) because I think there is something amiss with having had four abortions? Or having an abortion at 23 weeks?

FFS.....

What is making your blood boil laughalot ?

OH SHIT.

Jesus christ.

They must have all been awake then ?

2 DC's and not using contracetion?????? I want to sahke her!

The blond haired girl almost laughing to herself. I know it is everyones choice and I dont have a problem with that however she needs a kick up the bum

the blonde woman is odd

She is a bit strange yes, but perhaps nervous.

no, they weren't awake, they just looked at the scan screen.

i still cannot bear to look at those. even now. i'm having to see the doctor for some help before going in for the 20 week scan because i'm so afraid i'll see a dead foetus like with the M/C.

heart earrings is nice
not as 'together' as she wants us to think!

I can't believe these women are laughing about it. And that stupid woman that isn't even using contraception is just AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, god that makes me sick.

Oh i see expat.

I didn't want to have a scan, but had to because of complications.

Turning over again

hey, them made me take off all my makeup before my ERPC!

I was the woman with the heart earrings, toddler and 3mth old baby and not one person to say it would be ok if I had the baby.

Did you have to take off your baseball cap as well?

Great. So they've found a few women who use abortion as a contraceptive. Again, way to go BBC. Thanks for putting us back fifty years

i had to take off my top, too!

cracker, i'm so sorry!

this lady has had a hard life.

there's only one who appears to have used abortion as contraceptive, spice.

she's 29, has had 2 children and has had 4 abortions.

that's why i asked if women were counselled about birth control.

No it's ok expat. It was a long time ago and something which I will always regret, but I can't change it now.

I had to undress completely by the way, had a gown on.

What kind of woman would agree to be filmed doing this? Its sick.

NO ONE is even with this poor woman! she's left on her own to cry in a room!

how shocking.

abortion is pretty lonely whatever way you want to look at it expat.
