Director’s Statement
There is much debate about what abortion means in this country, but very little of it comes from the millions upon millions of women who have gone through it. The intent of this film is not to slap a “right” or “wrong” label on the issue, nor is it to raise interest in any prominent political movements, but to show the difficulty in making a choice such as this. The intent of this film is to show abortion for the gray area that it truly is, and, ideally, to make audiences come closer to a point where they can be comfortable with it.
This film is the result of a discrepancy that I saw; I saw many, many films made in some way shape about abortion, but none by any individual who had actually gone through one, or, if they had, made that clear in the film. Our goal for this film was to show the audience, from a non-partisan perspective, what it is to go through an abortion in America, from the point of view of those who have had to endure it.
