A Common Secret

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
An abortion doctor talks about her own difficult abortion at a young age and why she then chose a career on the front lines of the war over reproductive rights. She has to wear a bulletproof vest, and carries a .38 caliber revolver. Also: find out about the struggle to save Nepal’s endangered rhinos. Amy Silverstein talks about her 17+ years as a heart transplant patient. And a sociologist shares an insider's perspective on life in a crack-dealing gang. Guest host Lisa Birnbach sits in for Leonard.
