The Opposition to Abortion
Carissa Halgeberg is an associate professor of history at Tulane University. Her book, Women Against Abortion, looks inside the largest moral reform movement of the 20th century. The question is how does this go from being a personal, private decision to one that the state becomes invested in? She talks about Madame Rastelle, the so-called abortionist of Fifth Avenue.
