Summer of Mercy (Rebroadcast)

Remembering the abortion protests of the Summer of Mercy in Wichita, Kansas, thirty years later.

In 1991, anti-abortion protesters filled the streets of Wichita, Kansas. The events of that summer would leave a lasting impact on state politics. On the 30th anniversary of those protesters called the Summer of Mercy, we look at what's changed in Kansas and the country since we first released this episode of My Fellow Kansans.
