YouTube description
This debate at the Battle of Ideas festival in London, takes us beyond the usual emotive and tired arguments. Anne Furedi and Professor John Wyatt help us understand a humanist perspective on abortion and discuss choice, autonomy and our attitude to life itself. If sex is to remain fun and not just for procreation, Anne Furedi argues, we need abortion as a backup and we need the freedom to make these decisions ourselves.
