An informative, thou a bit long, documentary of women's experiences with abortion.
The "cast" is very intergenerational (several had illegal abortions, others had post Roe V. Wade abortions); come from different classes, races, and have different sexualities; and represent various spiritualities and religions. The women interviewed discuss their abortions and their feelings surrounding them; their children before and after their abortions; and often discuss their relationships with their own mothers. They also speak one how they feel about those who are anti-choice, from those that protested the clinic they had appointments at, to how people reacted to their abortions. Adoption, single motherhood, contraception, and chemical abortions (taking doctor-prescribed pills at home) are also discussed.
Some women work around abortion and other pro choice issues, others just share their abortion stories, and a few women were previously pro life- one still believes that abortion is taking a life. A great way to put faces on the abortion debate, as one in 3 women will have an abortion by the time she is 45. A very information film, everyone should try to see it!
