Host Sarah Eckard gets up close and personal with Betty Cockrum, CEO Planned Parenthood of Indiana. Cockrum talks about her fight to stop Attorney General Steve Carter from seizing medical records in a battle over patient confidentiality and recalls the little-publicized story of how a state bill introduced last year sought to criminalize abortion in Indiana. She also expresses frustration that more people aren’t aware of the variety of public health services provided by Planned Parenthood other than abortions and points out that many of the women served by PP struggle with poverty.
