Naga and the doctors are joined by Emma, Lucy, Sarah, Jim and Hayley to talk about terminating a pregnancy for medical reasons (TFMR). That is ending what is often a much-wanted pregnancy due to results from antenatal testing, foetal anomalies or maternal health. If you are affected by issues in this discussion, there is a range of organisations and websites that can offer you advice and support. You can find them listed on the BBC's Actionline website at bbc.co.uk/actionline. First broadcast on BBC 5 Live on 13 January 2026
