If These Walls Could Talk (1996)
Catch Jada Pinkett-Smith as Patti
Theatrical Release Date: October 13, 1996
Summary:A trilogy of stories set in the same house, but with different occupants and spanning over 40 years, deals with various women and moral crisis over unexpected pregnancies and their choice of abortion.
In 1952, when abortion was illegal, a nurse deals with her unexpected pregnancy and takes drastic measures to get one.In 1974 a family housewife with four children discovers that she's pregnant and decides she can't handle another child to raise. In 1996, a pregnant college student decides on an abortion, but doesn't realize the means to go through to get one.
Review:
There are now 2 generations of women (and men) who have no idea what life was like before women had access to reliable birth control and safe abortion.
Because of birth control, fewer women are forced to make these life or death decisions. Because of legalized and safe abortion, fewer women are forced to go to less than qualified, back alley abortionists who more often than not rendered their clients barren.
This movie showed the worst and the best. Bravo for having the guts to make this.
