Author tells story of work as abortion doctor

[cynatnite]

A month before the first murder of an abortion provider in 1993, Dr. Susan Wicklund opened a clinic in the Medical Arts Building on Willson Avenue near downtown Bozeman.

For the next five years, amid protestors and death threats, Wicklund helped all types of women -- ranchers, students, young and old, Catholic and not --end an unwanted pregnancy.

Now, she's telling the story. A significant part of “This Common Secret: My Journey as an Abortion Doctor,” co-authored by Bozeman's Alan Kesselheim, takes place in the Gallatin Valley.
