Today, we return to our conversation with Getty Israel, who's CEO of Sisters in Birth pregnancy clinic in Jackson. On yesterday's show, Israel told us she's skeptical of anti-abortion activists who identify as part of the "pro-life movement." But she says she remains concerned about the role of abortion in Mississippi's maternal healthcare system.
