Documentary: When Abortion Was Illegal



In this 1992 documentary directed by Dorothy Fadiman, women (and men) tell their stories about illegal abortions, reminding us of the necessity of safe and legal access for women.

The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Short in 1993, and is the first in a three-part series about abortion in America.

Are the other two in the series available on-line? Better yet, is anyone planning on re-running the series in light of the recent act of religious terrorism in America?
