from Body & State · host Sarah Varney

Chelsea Stovall is a 35-year-old mother of two, who works as a cook at a daycare in Fayetteville, Arkansas. When she was pregnant with her third child four years ago, having an abortion never crossed her mind. But after finding out that her daughter would have less than a 1 percent chance of surviving the pregnancy, Chelsea’s opinion on abortion began to shift. We sat down with Chelsea to discuss how her experience changed her views on abortion.
