Cathy Newman: Why it was my duty to discuss my abortion

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

Channel 4 news presenter Cathy Newman has told 91福利社 Radio 5 live she feels it was her duty to speak publicly about her termination. A complication in her second pregnancy meant her baby would not have survived to term because of a rare spinal condition. Many people don鈥檛 find out about the condition until 24 weeks into the pregnancy and plans were put to Parliament to bring the time limit of abortion down. Cathy said she felt 鈥渨omen who have a public profile have a duty to speak out to help other women who don鈥檛 have that benefit鈥. This clip is originally from 5 live Stephen Nolan on Sunday 30 April 2017
