Growing up in Durham in the 1950s and 1960s, Susan Hill remembers when abortions were performed in back alleys. Since then, she’s dedicated her career to helping women gain access to safe and legal abortions. After Roe V. Wade passed in 1973, Hill helped open one of the first abortion clinics in the country and she has been struggling to provide women in underserved communities with access to abortions and gynecological care ever since. Susan Hill is the CEO and President of the National Women’s Health Organization and last year, she won North Carolina’s highest award for advocacy, the Nancy Susan Reynolds award. She joins host Frank Stasio to talk about the nearly 40 years she has spent protecting a woman's right to choose and the dangers she has faced along the way.
