Sinead Redmond and Caroline Simons - Pro and Anti Abortion Activists

from The Interview · host BBC World Service

What does Ireland's abortion referendum say about the country today? On 25 May Irish voters face a choice - by way of a referendum they can either keep a constitutional amendment which outlaws abortion in all but the most exceptional circumstances, or they can change their constitution and pave the way for the legalisation of abortion. Given Ireland's history, culture and religion it is a fierce debate. Hardtalk's Stephen Sackur is joined by two campaigners - Sinead Redmond, an advocate of expanding abortion rights, and Caroline Simons, an opponent.(Photo: Caroline Simons (L) pro-life campaigner and Sinead Redmond (R) abortion rights advocate)
