Sammy Woodhouse, Abortion Pills, Ageing

Available for over a year

Sammy Woodhouse is campaigning for a change in the law to pardon child sex abuse survivors for crimes committed while they were being groomed. Sammy was abused from the age of 14 in Rotherham. She joins Jane to talk about her campaign and how she has regained control of her life, as told in her book 'Just A Child'. The Welsh government said women having an early medical abortion should be allowed to take a second pill at home, not in a clinic. It would bring Wales into line with what happens in Scotland. How likely is the same change to take place in England? Labour AM Jenny Rathbone is joined by clinical abortion lead Dr Louise Massey. The comedian Jenny Eclair shared her frustration this week about beauty products aimed at older women. She believes there is a 'whispering conspiracy' against older women to look younger and that women of a certain age are only valued by their looks. Does she have a point? Jenny Eclair joins Jane to discuss along with Trinny Woodall, who has founded her own makeup brand, 'Trinny London'. In July 2014 Jane talked to a woman we named 'Helen' who was taking part in a pilot project in London called Pause. The idea was that women who had had multiple children taken into care could try and break the cycle by using long-acting contraception and with a key worker address underlying issues like addiction, poor mental health and abuse. Four years later, Jane meets 'Helen' to hear how she's getting on.
