*Synopsis | The Front Line (2010)*
It's an emotion-charged issue that still deeply divides Australia. A woman's right to abortion. But, in America, it's not so much a debate as all-out war. There, extremists will stop at nothing. Bombing, arson, kidnapping, even murder, as they target abortion doctors. With the death toll rising, it's a very brave person willing to carry out terminations, especially late-term abortions. In fact, it's now so dangerous, there's only a handful of these doctors left. The rest have either given up under the relentless pressure or been killed off. On Sunday night, we venture to the front line of this bitter and protracted battle. And you should know, some of the images in this story are confronting.
