BBC to Broadcast Live Abortion Program on Radio

In a first, the BBC will broadcast on radio a live program from an abortion clinic that will feature interviews with women undergoing terminations.

The two-hour-long radio show is due to air next month, sources said.

Pro-life campaigners have criticized the move, saying it amounted to "free advertising" for abortion.

Victoria Derbyshire, who will present the show on BBC Radio Five Live, said it would give an insight "into an area of British life which is taboo."

The clinic involved in the program has not been named yet.
