Romania's Abortion Ban

Witness History

Available for over a year

Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu made abortion illegal in October 1966 - but many women still tried to end their pregnancies, by sometimes desperate means. Sorina Voiculescu was one of the millions of Romanian women who had an illegal abortion under the ban. (Photo shows: A pregnant woman. Photo credit: PA)
