These lessons have been tried and tested and successfully led to my Y10 students understanding the Catholic and Church of England view on abortion.

With the voice overs they can be used as helpful revision tools for Y10/Y11 students revising for their exams, guided by the teacher voice. DISCLAIMER: I understand that individual Catholic and other Christians may feel differently than what is taught in these lessons however this is the approach the exam board requires us to take when looking at different Christian views on abortion.
