Terminating a pregnancy is never an easy decision. In Abortion, a CBS
48 Hours film, this decision is scrutinized in light of public opinion regarding such matters. Instead of a personal choice, women in this situation are faced with controversy, both religious and social, that will weigh on their decision to keep an unwanted child or to end the pregnancy. Indeed, the subject of abortion affects not only the women involved, but health-care providers, law enforcement personnel, the judicial system, and most importantly, the men who fathered their babies. The program takes a thorough look at several options and their possible results. ~ Alice Day, All Movie Guide
