- 2017 marks the 50th anniversary of Britain's 1967 Abortion Act, but the struggle for abortion rights continues. Combining analysis of media coverage, statistics and social attitudes with accounts of women's experiences, Judith Orr argues that women should be able to control their fertility without practical, legal and ideological barriers.
