So important to shine a light on this injustice. So glad this program could show just a tiny part of the way this country is run. We should. It ever have been putting the views of the religious few ahead of the rights of women.
I find myself wanting to thank the writer of this heart wrenching programme for creating something as bold and unflinching as 'Three Families'.
The empathy with which this often contested issue is handled is a real testament to its direction and the wonderful actors. I would advise everyone with a uterus (and everyone who knows someone with a uterus) to watch this brilliant piece of real-life drama. 10/10.

Love Genevieve Oreily so I thought I'd give it a go. It was decent. Acting's good. It's depressing but a true story. Hers was heartbreaking. No pro lifers are going to like it so don't even watch it and criticize it because of course you won't like the source material. Anyways decent watch.
Could not believe that women and young girls have no rights when it comes to abortion....it can only happen because of Catholicism and an act imposed in 1861!!!!
To make a woman and young girls go full term knowing that the baby would be born dead is wicked and inhuman...and only get a choice at the birth not to resuscitate is worse than allowing terminations.

This is quality British drama at its best. When reviewing a movie or TV show one should never let your personal bias get in the way. The person who gave this 1/10 is being grossly unfair and placing their personal bias ahead of logic and fairness.
Whatever your stance on abortion this program is brilliantly acted and gives a very realistic insight into the narrow mindedness and harm of a small minority group. You feel for all the characters who are believable at all times. They are placed in devastating predicaments. It's hard to believe this is so recent.
The anti abortion activists featured in this program need to stare logic in the eye. If every unwanted child was born who would take care of them? There are many questions asked in this program but it's fundamentally an excellent drama featuring characters you like and feel empathy for.
Thankfully progress has been made. It's a thoroughly excellent drama.
