Citizen Ruth

Critic Bob Mondello reviews the new film "Citizen Ruth." The film is a comedy about a serious subject...abortion. Mondello says that it's remarkably even-handed and doesn't require the viewer to choose which side of the abortion debate to agree with. It's the first film from director Alexander Payne, and stars Laura Dern.
