Kermit Gosnell & the abortion debate - Unbelievable?

In the USA Kermit Gosnell is being tried on counts of murdering children born alive in illegal late-term abortions at his unsanitary practise in Philadelphia.

Dr Trevor Stammers is a Christian former GP who refused to personally refer women for abortion. Dr Evan Harris is a former Liberal Democrat MP and atheist who believes that women should have the choice to terminate their pregnancy.

They discuss the Gosnell case with Telegraph journalist Timothy Stanley, one of the first in the UK to report the case in the mainstream press after claims of a "media blackout".

They also discuss the case of Savita Halappanavar in Ireland, who died from a miscarriage after being refused an abortion, as well as the current abortion law in the UK.

Dr Trevor Stammers is speaking on abortion at Unbelievable? the Conference 2013 on Sat 25 May www.premier.org.uk/unbelievable2013
