What has happened to women's reproductive rights in America since the historic Roe v. Wade decision in 1973 legalized abortion? Director Civia Tamarkin traces the strategy of the anti-abortion movement has used to make reproductive choice unavailable, even if it is still legal. For over 40 years it has played the long game, working state by state to pass laws that chip away at women's reproductive healthcare options. The war story that "Birthright" traces is a war of attrition.
Tamarkin presents haunting, personal stories of women trapped in the confines of theses new laws interwoven with expert voices of activists and historians. We learn how women are being jailed, physically violated and even put at risk of dying as a radical movement tightens its grip across America. One coupe, Robb and Danielle Deaver, share the horrors the endured as a direct results of Nebraska's law banning abortions after 20 weeks predicated on questionable science and similar to laws in 25 other states.
"Birthright: A War Story" packs a powerful message that reproduction has become perilous for women in America." The New York Times Two free screenings of "Birthright: A War Story"
