On today's Your Call, we’ll discuss the new documentary, After Tiller, which documents the struggles abortion care providers have faced since 2009 when Dr. George Tiller was murdered in his Wichita, Kansas church. His clinic, which provides third-trimester abortions, reopened its doors this year. That procedure is now performed by only four doctors in the country. All former colleagues of Dr. Tiller, they risk their lives every day. Why do they do it? Join the conversation on the next Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
