A Mother and Daughter on Abortion

A Mother and Daughter on Abortion, Gail Singer, provided by the National Film Board of Canada

Gail Singer
1987 | 12 min

This short film documents an intimate conversation between a mother and her adult daughter on the subject of abortion. They speak candidly about their personal experiences in trying to obtain the procedure, and how, in different decades – before and after the 1969 amendment to the federal law – each got caught up in  the system and its rules. A useful discussion-starter on the complex issues relating to abortion.
