Pro-choice? Pro-life? Undecided?
Across the world, abortion remains a cultural, religious, moral - and sometimes legal - morass. Even within the UK, and especially between Britain and Northern Ireland, the framework and rhetoric of the debate changes frequently.
Organised jointly by the University of Edinburgh's Feminist Society and its Life Society, there will be a short showcase debate followed by an open forum discussion a la the BBCs Question Time.
Panellists are:
Professor Dr Wendy Savage: obstetrician, gynaecologist and former press officer for Doctors for a Woman’s Choice on Abortion
Breedagh Hughes: Northern Ireland Director for the Royal College of Midwives
Professor Dr Calum MacKellar: Visiting Professor of Bioethics at St. Mary's University College, Twickenham
Elaine Gallcher: Education Officer, Cardinal Winning Pro-Life Initiative
