Directors Sabrine Keane and Kate Dumke use the stories of two teen pregnancies to chronicle the proliferation and impact of anti-abortion businesses.
Two years ago, the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, effectively ending the constitutional right to abortion and giving states leeway to criminalize the procedure. The harrowing moment had been years in the making. Since the landmark decision was made in 1973, anti-abortion advocates have been organizing on a local level to chip away at the protection and champion its demise.
Their stories anchor the documentary in an intimacy that bolsters its more investigative threads. Although Maleeha’s story offers the clarity of hindsight , it would have provided added depth to find an additional subject closer to Maria’s age who was counseled by one of these centers and still chose an abortion.
Keane and Dumke smartly let their interviewees speak for themselves, interjecting only to fact check in real time. This approach reveals the web of deceit and the contradictions inherent to the crisis pregnancy center missions and the broader pro-life movement. Armed with this information, audiences are better equipped to understand the strength and effectiveness of the right-wing ecosystem that made abortion a key issue for the Republican Party.
The result is a compelling, convincing and informative documentary that makes the abstraction of a law more concrete.
