Program Description

Dramatization of the trial of Dr. Kenneth Edelin for performing abortions. This high profile case put the Boston doctor at the head of the controversy between Pro-Life and Pro-Choice forces. Using an edited version of the official court records, this reenactment focuses sharply on the abortion issue, leaving it to the viewer to weigh the arguments and decide.
