When Abortion Was Illegal: Untold Stories
The era of illegal abortion is still a chapter in the history of American women that is kept quiet about. In her documentary, Dorothy Fadiman examines the physical, emotional and legal consequences that women had to face up to at a time when abortion was considered to be an illegal act. Several women frankly talk about their experiences, some of them for the first time. Doctors and employees of health organisations as well as the women’s relatives also voice their views.
