Quote:
This Academy Award-nominated film features compelling first person accounts which reveal the physical, legal, and emotional consequences during the era when abortion was a criminal act. Remembrances include those of women who experienced illegal abortions, doctors who risked imprisonment and loss of their licenses for providing illegal abortions, and individuals who broke the law by helping women find safe abortions.

First of three documentations on abortion. This one is from 1992.


I would like to take a moment and suggest that anyone who is interested in womens reproductive rights should take a moment and watch this.
I know that I should type something dramatic and powerful to try to convince everyone to give up there precious time... but I'm not an eloquent person. I never have been. So I'm simply going to say these videos are powerful. These stories remind me why so many of us fight so hard to keep our right to choose and why we will continue to do so.

Some of the stories made me angry, one made me cry but all of them reminded me of what could happen if we don't continue to fight.

So if you have the time, take a look. It certainly couldn't hurt.

This made me sick and sad. Obviously pro-lifers don't understand the horrors of illegal abortion... or they are heartless and don't care.

"Did you ever think it was easy to be a woman?" Meaning that as abortion is illegal, you HAVE to go through this pain to get rid of your pregnancy, to be in control of your own body.

It was so touching.
I don't think pro-"life" people think about how immoral they're being when trying to strip us of our freedoms, and what it does.
