Abortion In America

Linda talks to Stanley Henshaw, deputy director of research at the Guttmacher Institute and co-author of the study "Abortion Patients in 1994-1995: Characteristics and Contraception Use." The study says that about half of all women in the U-S will have an abortion at some time in their lives, that 18% of women who had abortions were born-again Christians, and that the abortion rate among teenagers has declined.
