Michael Enright brings us the Abortion Caravan with a guest appearance by Pierre Elliott Trudeau

The Sunday Edition, a CBC Radio 1 show, presented an amazing documentary (by Karin Wells) on the Abortion Caravan, a group of 35 women who drove in three cars from Vancouver to Ottawa (arriving on Mother's Day weekend), organized a huge demonstration on Parliament Hill where they demanded access to abortion, infiltrated parliament and chained themselves to chairs and then began shouting during Question Period, until Parliament was shut down, and, a few weeks later, met in Vancouver with an angry Pierre Trudeau and managed to leave him speechless.

A fabulous documentary that took up the first hour of the show and that you can listen to here.
