MOTHERLESS: A LEGACY OF LOSS FROM ILLEGAL ABORTION
Price: $99.95 Code: 1644 |
Through interviews with people whose mothers died due to complications from abortion
before its legalization, this video examines the tragedy of deaths from illegal abortions and
the trauma of losing a mother at a young age. Social and historical context for these
emotionally powerful interviews is provided by a physician who treated hundreds of
women dying from septic abortions and a medical historian, who discuss the medical,
legislative and social history of abortion from the late nineteenth century until its
legalization in 1973.
