See This Movie! The Business of Being Born

January 10, 2008

Since 1973, when the United States Supreme Court ruled in Roe v. Wade that pregnant women have a fundamental right to choose whether or not to have an abortion, states have constructed a a complex system of laws and regulations that limit whether, when, and under what circumstances a woman may obtain an abortion. But, it is not just women seeking abortion who face barriers to the kinds of health care they need and want. We urge you to see a new documentary The Business of Being Born. This film, by filmmaker Abby Epstein, looks at the surprising historical, political and scientific insights and shocking statistics about the current maternity care system.
