abortion

  One in three Aussie women will have an abortion in their lifetime. For the most part they are women like you and I, under 30 and in an uncomfortable position.

 Abortion is a sensitive issue. Recently, a government advisory committee recommended that the abortion drug RU486 be added to the Pharmaceutical Benefit Scheme. 

Abortion is a divisive issue. An American decided to brodcast her abortion via Twitter and Youtube after taking the RU486 pill in the hope it would "demistify" abortion. The clip got over 79 000 hits in just one day, and has received both backlash and praise for her honesty.

How will this affect the abortion debate? Panorama's Ally Bergamin reports.
