Abortion in America: Kentucky
In Kentucky a legal case is under way aimed at closing the last clinic for abortions.
Could abortion be banned in the United States? Since the election of President Trump the question has taken on a new urgency, for both sides of America鈥檚 abortion wars. Philippa Thomas travels to Kentucky, where a legal case is under way aimed at closing that state鈥檚 last clinic. She visits the lawyer trying to keep it open, and the opponents fervently praying for it to close. And she is invited to a smart suburb to see for herself one answer to the question often asked of anti-abortion activists: 鈥榳ell, what would you do?鈥�
