AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The political-thriller is set in 1969 and follows Bert Wainer, a local GP, who embarks on a campaign for law reform after the death of a young woman. He discovers an illegal abortion ring protected by corrupt homicide detectives, allowing the medical establishment, media and politicians to ignore the impact of anti-abortion laws.'
