Last week I pitched my idea and I have gotten the go ahead, woohoo! Abortion Protests in Bournemouth will be a 7 minute radio documentary and multimedia project that is going to delve into the contentious issue surrounding abortion. There is going to be a particular focus on the BPAS clinic in Bournemouth as a campaign is in the works to introduce a Buffer Zone there just like the one that now exists in Ealing, London. You can read more about that here.
This project will aim to answer the following 3 questions..
Why do pro-lifers protest?
What impact does this have on service users?
Is it likely a Buffer Zone will be implemented at BPAS, Ophir Rd?
In the coming days and weeks I'll be going to the abortion clinic to witness, for myself, what is going on and introduce you to those with strong beleifs on both sides of the fence.
If you are pro-life, pro-choice, a professional or someone who has experienced harassment outside of an abortion clinic I would love to hear from you.
