Abortion in the United States continues to spark fierce debate and cause division, ever since the Supreme Court made it legal in 1973 following the Roe v Wade case.
Individual states still have a lot of power to influence the availability of abortions and in almost every state there are campaigns and protests for and against.
In our two-part podcast we hear from people on either side of the debate.
For part one we speak to Dr Willie Parker, who was raised in a fundamentalist Christian family in Alabama. He now exclusively provides abortion services to women in his home state and neighbouring Georgia, both of which have more restrictive laws on abortion.
