Post-abortion syndrome

Stephanie Mason

This year is the 30th anniversary of the 1967 Bill which legalised abortion. With this in mind, EN sent Stephanie Mason to interview Grace Kirkham.

Grace was pregnant in 1972, aged 17. Her boyfriend convinced her of the need to have an abortion, telling her that neither of them could possibly cope with a baby. It was five years after the Abortion Act. She married her boyfriend, but later divorced him for adultery.
