Marjorie Dannenfelser: The future of the anti-abortion movement

Stephen Sackur interviews Marjorie Dannenfelser, head of US anti-abortion organisation Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America.

Stephen Sackur speaks to Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, an activist group supporting anti-abortion politicians. Organisations like hers are savouring a big victory, but could it yet turn sour?
