In 1992, when things were still reasonably okay in America, filmmaker Dorothy Fadiman made a film about abortion. It was called “When Abortion Was Illegal: Untold Stories” and she was rewarded with an Oscar nomination for the 20th anniversary of the now overturned precedent Roe versus Wade, which had made abortions possible. The film was a half-hour documentary in which eyewitnesses told what it was like when they were young and abortion was forbidden.
