IMDB 0 | May , 2026
A look at the impact of an already very precarious maternal health state in the U.S. post-rescinding of Roe v. Wade, via the Supreme Court's Dobbs decision, reversing rights that women have been working so hard to fight for, and that will actually have a deep impact that we can't even see just yet in terms of the numbers of mortality and trauma as a result of those very draconian policies.Twenty
IMDB 0 | Apr , 2023
Set in a speakeasy in Atlanta, “Twenty” is a feature documentary about fifteen young people making it through 2020.

Nothing more than Pastor Silas Malafaia talking about homosexualism, abortion and moral depravity, flying saucers and aliens all at once. For 90 minute straight!Abortion: Stories from North and South
IMDB 7 | Nov , 1984
Women have always sought ways to terminate unwanted pregnancies, despite powerful patriarchal structures and systems working against them. This film provides a historical overview of how church, state and the medical establishment have determined policies concerning abortion. From this cross-cultural survey--filmed in Ireland, Japan, Thailand, Peru, Colombia, and Canada--emerges one reality: only a small percentage of the world's women has access to safe, legal operations.Seeing Allred

The story of the investigation and trial of abortion provider Dr Kermit Gosnell.Misery and Fortune of Woman
IMDB 6.5 | Feb , 1930
This film shows contrasting views of women with problematic pregnancies and the outcomes resulting when they seek out a back-alley abortionist, a trained and licensed abortion provider in a clinic, or an obstetrician capable of performing a Caesarian Section. The full film appears to be lost, but shortened versions, including one with dialogue scenes added in Germany in 1935, can be found on the internet. Additionally, Eisenstein's role in making the picture remains unclear: did he direct some or all of it, just edit it, or merely leave it to Alexandrov and Tisse to make? Released in the USA 1930 in a 65 minute (5800 ft.) version with English intertitles and a music track under the title BIRTH.AKA Jane Roe
IMDB 4.6 | May , 2020

IMDB 5.3 | May , 1992
An intensely personal exploration of an explosive issue -- abortion in America. Wrenching first-person narratives from seven decades of women, each one facing an unplanned pregnancy -- and the dreadful decision that no one wants to make. Both pro-life and pro-choice, both out front on the picket line and inside the clinic, these women's stories turn politics into heart-searing drama: a pregnant 17-year-old and her pro-life mother whose conflict unfolds in front of the camera; a 22-year-old who became a pro-life protester when she learned that her mother nearly aborted her; an unhappy mother-of-two who's expecting a third when her marriage suddenly hits the rocks; a 71-year-old grandmother who still grieves for her mother, an early victim of illegal abortion. In this fusion of past and present, the history of abortion is the history of women -- told at a time in America when yesterday's back-alley abortions may be the only choice left for tomorrow.The Janes
IMDB 5.6 | May , 2022
Defying the state legislature that outlawed abortion, the Catholic Church that condemned it, and the Chicago Mob that was profiting from it, the members of “Jane” risked their personal and professional lives to support women with unwanted pregnancies. In the pre-Roe v. Wade era — a time when abortion was a crime in most states and even circulating information about abortion was a felony in Illinois — the Janes provided low-cost and free abortions to an estimated 11,000 women.Sex in the Soviet Union
IMDB 7 | Sep , 2025
A gripping journey through seven decades of sexual ignorance, oppression, and suffering, brought to life through the words and experiences of the first Soviet sexologist. Ukrainian survivors of the regime courageously recount the harsh realities they endured, from the pervasive suppression of sexual expression to the rampant exploitation and abuse that plagued Soviet society.Abortion: Stories Women Tell

IMDB 0 | Apr , 2010
This jaw-dropping exposé goes beyond Planned Parenthood’s deceptive public guise and takes a look at its dark underbelly. You will see how Planned Parenthood is contributing to the moral decline of the United States of America and the murder of millions of innocent children. Follow along as we examine the roots… and (rotten) fruit… of Planned Parenthood.180
IMDB 4.3 | Sep , 2011
180 (2011) boldly confronts abortion as modern genocide. Ray Comfort uses Holocaust imagery—11 million murdered under Hitler—to expose ignorance via street interviews, asking if people would kill baby Hitler. He then equates 50M+ U.S. abortions to the "American Holocaust," forcing viewers to face the moral horror of child-killing. No evasion: equates elective abortion with premeditated murder of innocent image-bearers. Powerful pro-life wake-up call from Living Waters, ending with urgent repentance. Uncompromising truth exposing bloodguilt. (33 min)The A-Word
IMDB 10 | Dec , 2010
In the fall of 2009, Lindsay Ellis, a 26-year old graduate student, went through the painful process of having an abortion. “The A-Word” follows Ellis as she opens up to her family and organizations from both sides of the debate, in search of healing. This is not a film about the protests and debates wrapped up in religious views and political agenda, but rather a personal journey about one woman’s struggle to shed the stigma attached to the A-word in hopes of starting a dialogue.
