Story: Abortion
Abortion has long been a political hot potato. On one side of the heated debate are people who believe abortion is murder, and on the other end are those who believe it’s a woman’s right to have control over her own body. The issue reached its height in the 1970s and 1980s, when both sides staged protest marches and lobbied Parliament. In the early 21st century the debate heated up again with anti-abortion groups undertaking legal challenges and pro-abortion groups pushing for decriminalisation.
