Dorothy FadimanThe Fragile Promise of Choice: Abortion in the U.S. Today (Spanish subtitles) (1996)

Through vignettes from cities and rural areas around the country, this documentary examines how restrictive legislation, in an atmosphere of harassment and violence, affects the lives of abortion providers and the women who seek their services. The film features interviews with community doctors, women seeking services, clinic directors, clergy, and counselors. Their stories illustrate the increasing number of situations in which legal does not necessarily mean accessible.

This version has Spanish subtitles.
