Abortion Provider, Pro-Life Lawyer Found Common Ground

As I sat in my office during the first week of 1990, my assistant informed me that an unexpected caller wanted to speak with me. A week earlier I had an opinion piece in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch proposing that people on both sides of the abortion debate could work together on issues affecting women and children -- without violating their core beliefs. As a start, I proposed support for legislation to aid impoverished women and their children.
