Debate rages over women's right to choose late term abortions | 60 Minutes Australia

Everyone has an opinion, but not everyone has the facts. Once again we're arguing over a woman's right to choose; old war, brand new battle. This time the rallying point is what they call late term abortions, pregnancies terminated after 20 weeks. It's emotional, it's heated, and it's a dirty fight, even though only a tiny proportion of abortions are late term, and usually they're carried out when something's terribly wrong with the baby. So, if you thought it was all over 30 years ago, this story from Peter Overton in 2005 is sure to make you think again.
