　　内容简介：1967年，一名年轻妇女在一次地下堕胎失败后，赶到了伯特伦·韦恩纳医生开设在墨尔本的诊所急诊。虽然病情很严重，她仍然害怕到医院看病。这次事件促使韦恩纳医生踏上一条漫长而艰巨的征途，目的就是为了推翻判处堕胎者入狱长达15年的法律。正是这条法律把妇女推向了那些未受专门训练的黑游医。在斗争过程中，韦恩纳医生发现了一张由高薪医生、地下堕胎者、高层政治官员和有权势的政客交织而成的腐败网络。故事从一开始的秘密情恋、不正当的交易和尔虞我诈，迅速发展成为一场欲擒故纵的斗争，对方不顾一切地玩弄秘密会议和电话窃听等伎俩。面对一个不愿正视和解决问题的政府，韦恩纳决定以身试法，将堕胎问题通过报纸大力宣扬。这种做法使他的生命受到威胁，同时也为他赢得了支持者。。。。。。最后政府不得不屈服于公众压力，对国家警察机构进行一次重大公开调查。但是威胁妇女健康的问题依然没有消除。于是1972年韦恩纳医生决定成立澳大利亚第一所堕胎诊所。经过多年努力，妇女终于可以在维多利亚州进行安全、便宜的堕胎。三十年后的今天，澳大利亚的堕胎法仍然没有得到修改。

　　Brief Synopsis：In 1967 a young woman came to Dr Bertram Wainer’s Melbourne surgery seeking emergency medical attention after a backyard abortion. She was desperately ill yet too afraid to go to hospital. For Wainer this was the start of a long, hard campaign to overturn laws that made abortion an offence punishable by up to 15 years in jail and forced women to turn to unskilled operators. In the process, Wainer uncovered a web of corruption involving highly paid doctors, backyard abortionists, high-ranking police officers and power-broking politicians. It started out as a story of secret love affairs, crooked deals and double-crosses and rapidly became a desperate game of cat-and-mouse played out in clandestine meetings and phone-tapping sessions. Faced by a government that refused to address the problem, Wainer decided to put abortion law to the test himself, forcing the issue into the headlines. This would lead to attempts against his life and those of his supporters, until eventually public pressure forced the government to announce the first major public inquiry into a state police force. But the threat to womens’ health remained so in 1972 Dr Wainer decided to establish Australia’s first public abortion clinic. After years of struggle, abortion in Victoria was finally accessible, affordable and safe. Thirty years later, the law remains unchanged.
