During the course of the documentary 4 other women, two of the married, described their experiences. CBS reported on the workings of abortion rings and other unlovely facts that they had uncovered. A convicted abortionist told his story. Other doctors cited cases and expressed sharply conflicting opinions. So did lawyers and clergymen. And the parents of a college girl told what they thought and how they felt when, after complications set in, their daughter told them that she had had such an operation.
