Watch "I Had An Abortion," an acclaimed movie giving faces and voices to the millions of women who are affected by government decisions about choice. Underneath the din of politicians posturing about choice legislation, there are the stories of women who have had abortions. This documentary features 11 women, ages 21 to 85, telling their abortion experience.

 

 

Participate in a panel discussion following the film with smart people who think about choice a lot. Find out what others think, and what you can do!
