The decision...

It is arguably the most sensitive social issue as the November 5 General Election nears: abortion and women's reproductive rights. Featured on this week’s edition of Eastern Standard: Laura Daley explores the history of the American anti-abortion movement with University of Oklahoma history professor Jennifer Holland. Carolyn Dupont hosts a conversation between two women from a Jessamine County congregation who hold opposing views on abortion. And John McGary reports on the scarcity of Ob-Gyn services in rural Kentucky.
