Every day in middle school and high school my phone would ring with a call from 275-TARA. It was the phone number that Tara, one of my best friends since 4th grade, managed to score. We were confidants, I was a maid of honor at her wedding, and I will always remember her telling me she was pregnant. But just a few months later, Tara was dead. Dying To Be A Mother is a documentary, told with humor and love, about reproductive health and what happens when a health-care provider’s views on abortion trump a mother’s life.
