Cork woman to tell of abortion story on BBC3 documentary

A documentary to be screened tonight will tell the story of one Cork woman’s abortion as part of a wider analysis of the law surrounding terminations in Ireland.

Abortion: Ireland’s Guilty Secret?, which will air on BBC3 tonight, shows 24-year-old Tara and her boyfriend Steve who travel to Britain for an abortion.

Journalist Alys Harte visits Tara and Steve in their Cork home and meets them again immediately before and after her abortion.
