Gwyneth Doland sits down with two guests who have different perspectives on the current debate over abortion. Allen Sanchez from the New Mexico Conference of Catholic Bishops talks about Pope Francis&#8217; recent visit to the U.S. and his messages on social issues like abortion. Doland also sits down with Katha Pollitt, an author who writes about feminism and abortion, to discuss her take on the continued local and national debate over abortion.<\/p>\n<p>This year marks the 50th anniversary of the creation of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalservice.gov\/programs\/americorps\/americorps-vista\">AmeriCorps VISTA<\/a> program. VISTA volunteers serve in organizations across the country, including in New Mexico, in programs that are addressing poverty. NMiF producer Sarah Gustavus sits down with two former members to discuss the history of the program and how service impacts both members and communities.<\/p>\n<p>Author and documentary filmmaker Kathryn Ferguson has spent many years on the U.S-Mexico border.
