The Nation
Underneath the din of politicians posturing about life and choice and beyond the shouted slogans about murder and rights, there are real stories of real women who have had abortions. Each year in the US, 1.3 million abortions occur, but the topic is still so stigmatized its never discussed in polite company.
Powerful, poignant, and fiercely honest, I HAD AN ABORTION tackles this taboo, featuring 10 women including famed feminist Gloria Steinem who candidly describe experiences spanning seven decades, from the years before Roe v. Wade to the present day. Filmmakers Jennifer Baumgardner and Gillian Aldrich insightfully document how changing societal pressures have affected womens choices and experiences.
