London: In a first,
the BBC will broadcast on radio a live programme from an abortion
clinic that will feature interviews with women undergoing
terminations.
The two-hour-long radio show is due to air next month, the
Telegraph reported.
Pro-life campaigners have criticised 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 programme has not been named yet.
"What we want to do is to talk to everybody involved who works in
a clinic - the receptionist, the doctors, the consultants, the
counsellors, and, if patients agree, we will talk to them," she
said.
A spokeswoman for the Prolife Alliance said: "This latest
initiative from the abortion lobby will inevitably provide free
advertising for the organisation in question which surely cannot
qualify as an exercise in objective journalism."
