Abortion Documentaries

    I was just wondering did anyone know any good, preferably balanced documentaries on Abortion. Maybe something that shows arguments from both sides or shows both pro-choice and pro-life movements.

    I am trying to prepare some lessons for 6th Year Religion classes for September and Abortion is a topic I have not looked at yet and is quite relevant.

    Ideally as I mentioned I am looking for something with a view of both sides, to get the students discussing the topic and hopefully debating it. And before anyone mentions or asks, its a community school and as an RE teacher I won't be pushing either side. I'll have different articles and points that either side present but a good documentary can really get them discussing the topic.

    'Lake of fire' by Tony Kaye is quite good and attempts to show both sides. One interesting aspect is the presence of Norma McCorvey who was the "Jane Roe" involved in Roe v Wade and has since flipped to the pro-life side.
    Roger Ebert- 'This is a brave, unflinching, sometimes virtually unwatchable documentary that makes such an effective case for both pro-choice and pro-life that it is impossible to determine which side the filmmaker, Tony Kaye, stands on.'
