Abortion rights

Donna Wells, an advocate for reproductive freedom and rights, discusses her involvement in the movement. Wells began working in reproductive health in 1974 at the first abortion clinic in Kentucky. In 1981 she started her own clinic, EMW Women's Surgical Center. Wells faced opposition and threats from anti-abortion protestors, but remained committed to ensuring safe and accessible abortion services in Kentucky. She also served on the board of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the National Abortion Federation. Wells reflects on the emotional toll of counseling women seeking abortions and discusses the challenges of balancing personal and professional life.
