When Abortion Was Illegal: Untold Stories (1992)

[TalkingDog]

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.

1. i wonder...

how many of the men now trying to demonize abortion, contraception, and birth control were the sort to cajole a girl into sex. I remember the type and they thought they were just wonderful. The line was usually something like I really love you and when I think of you I am in pain which only you can relieve.

Does anyone else remember those days when girls were divided into those you married and those you had sex with and fathered a child upon? Just the thought makes me want to cry with anger and frustration that that era is returning thanks to men who in youth cajoled girls for their own satisfaction.
