Voices of Choice: Physicians Who Provided Abortions Before Roe v. Wade
Voices of Choice: Physicians Who Provided Abortions Before Roe v. Wade is a multimedia project presented by Physicians for Reproductive Choice and Health (PRCH) that documents the experiences of physicians involved in abortion care and reform prior to the landmark Supreme Court Roe v. Wade decision in 1973.
Voices of Choice preserves the legacy of older physicians who witnessed the effects of illegal abortion. Their testimony is essential to document the horror of illegal abortion and the social and historical ramifications of a time when healthcare providers worked to save women who suffered needlessly. Voices of Choice brings us the past so that we may better understand the present and, more importantly, prepare for the future.
Along with this educational video and discussion guide, the Voices of Choice Project includes unedited videotapes and transcripts of more than 20 interviews that are preserved in the Columbia University Oral History Research Office, a book of interviews and archival photographs, a touring exhibition, and this website.
