Which is why you have an off button. I can appreciate that you and other may find this program offensive/disgusting/adjective of your choice, but no-one is going to be holding a gun to your head, forcing you to watch this program.
If we take the head in the sand approach then we will end up with bland programming much in the same vein as American television, where the sight of so much as a nipple can cause such controversy.
Obviously we will have to wait until the program is broadcast to see exactly how the topic was covered, with sensitivity of sensationalism. However, just because a topic is controversial doesn`t mean that it cannot have a place on our airwaves. As you say, many people do not agree with abortion. There are also a great many people that have no problem with it.
