Using these Documentaries to Focus Community Attention on Abortion Abortion rights are in the news almost every day.
Public attention is drawn, more than ever, to the issues surrounding abortion.
This Trilogy puts a human face on this complex subject, and raises awareness about the steady erosion of access to safe, legal reproductive health care for many women, particularly the young, the poor, and those living in rural areas. We hope that you will use these tapes to re-energize, inspire, and organize those who believe in a woman's right to make reproductive choices, and to educate those who may not know the history nor fully understand the implications of the current situation. Some stations will show the films in January to celebrate the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade, others in March for Women's History month, or possibly next Fall at the beginning of the school year. A variety of groups are planning gatherings, some with events scheduled in conjunction with the broadcasts. This Resource Kit is designed to help you plan activities before, during and after the airing of the Trilogy.
