Pro-Life Movement on Newsnight

19May18

The first 16 minutes of a Newsnight programme last week (10th May) looked at some groups in the pro-life movement in the UK, as well as looking at the pro-choice side and discussing the idea of buffer zones. Worth a watch and, although the pro-choice representatives are not questioned in the same way that the pro-life representatives are, it is still good to see both sides rather than the often very biased reporting against pro-life.

The programme can be viewed using this link www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0b2r9yn/newsnight-10052018
