Live Free or Die (2000 film)

Live Free or Die is a 2000 documentary film that follows Dr. Wayne Goldner, a New Hampshire OBGYN fighting on the latest front of the "abortion wars".

Set against the backdrop of Goldner's own community, the film captures a year of daily struggles and moral conflict.

When a patient who is 14 weeks pregnant is barred from the hospital operating room, Goldner is forced to send her on an 80-mile cab ride for an emergency abortion.

In his hometown, protesters target Goldner as a physician who provides abortion care and succeed in getting him dismissed as a sex education teacher from a local school.

The film concludes that doctors like Wayne Goldner often stop providing abortions because of the "profound sense of isolation they endure.
