On the December 17th edition of Your Call, we’re talking about the power of anti-abortion rhetoric and laws. For weeks heavily edited videos suggesting Planned Parenthood profited from selling fetus tissue for medical research dominated headlines. Since then a growing list of independent state and federal investigations have cleared Planed Parenthood of any wrongdoing. But subsequent reporting on the outcomes have been minimal.
Meanwhile, the FBI has warned of increased attacks on clinics, including the tragedy in Colorado, which left 3 dead.
How are anti-abortion laws and rhetoric affecting the safety of providers and patients? Join the conversation on the next Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.
