Live Free or Die

A small town doctor finds himself at the epicenter of “the abortion wars,” for his refusal to back down from his principles. This PBS/Point of View Election Special profiles Wayne Goldner, a small town OBGYN from Bedford, New Hampshire. Despite death threats and being banned as a sex ed teacher from his children’s school, Dr. Goldner refuses to stop providing abortions. When a proposed Catholic hospital merger forces him to send a patient who is miscarrying on an 80 mile cab ride for an emergency termination, he becomes a leader in the fight to stop the hospital union. One controversy leads to the next, and soon Dr. Goldner is caught in another, community wide fight to reinstate him as a sex ed teacher.“Engrossing.” -New York Times."Three stars.” -Video Librarian "Strongly Recommended."  -Booklist
