The Last Abortion Clinic

Tonight PBS broadcast Producer Raney Aronson's documentary, The Last Abortion Clinic, which describes the pro-life movement's largely successful campaign to make abortions increasingly hard to obtain following the Supreme Court's 1992 Casey decision. It's very well done and I think it manages to portray both pro-life and pro-choice supporters fairly sympathetically. (The documentary will air again on Sunday the 13th, at 11:30pm EST. You can check your local schedule here). I appear briefly in the documentary talking about the upcoming Supreme Court case, Ayotte v. New Hampshire.

On the Frontline website you can also read excerpts from a much longer interview I gave back in September about the history of abortion regulation and the future of abortion rights in the United States.
