Film Description:
"The document of an intimate conversation between a mother and her adult daughter. They speak candidly about their personal experiences in trying to obtain an abortion, and how, in different decades—before and after the 1969 amendment to the federal law—each got caught up in the system and its rules. A discussion-starter on the complex issues related to abortion. (This film was made from material filmed for Abortion: Stories from North and South.)"
