I like the idea for a movie. I was a teen in 1973. Before RoevWade, I knew a lot a girls who were getting married. Afterwards, many who were getting abortions. Where do we go from here?

When Hillary said "we" haven't had to march for 12 years, that wasn't entirely accurate. There have been other women's marches during those years ...

The Suffragist Example
...
A suffrage parade in 1913 on the eve of President Wilson's inauguration was marred by violence, but also helped to integrate the movement. Members of the Black sorority Delta Sigma Theta marched as a delegation, while Black journalist and anti-lynching activist Ida B. Wells marched side-by-side with white women from Illinois.

In 1916 and 1917 suffragists picketed the White House, with one silent picket leading to the arrest of 218 women from 26 states. The 19th amendment guaranteeing women the right to vote passed Congress in 1919 and was ratified in 1920.
