这是密西西比州杰克逊城的最后一家堕胎诊所,他们每天都要面对来自天主教组织和其他市民的反对示威。这部纪录片采访了在堕胎上具有不同立场的三个人,从而勾画出美国人对人工流产的讨论图景:Shannon和Barbara,一位是堕胎诊所的工作人员,一位是珍爱生命的反对人士,她们是整场冲突的主角;夹在中间的是April,一位正面对自己第五次意外怀孕的年轻女孩。导演采用了非常纯粹的旁观者角度,既不作评判也不弱化冲突。本片还揭示了美国南方的社会氛围和游说团体对通过更严格的相关法律的影响力。
The last abortion clinic in Mississippi faces daily protests against its activities by Catholic pressure groups as well as citizens. This documentary follows the stories of 3 women with different stances on abortion, thus framing the American debate about the artificial interruption of pregnancy. The views of Shannon, an employee at the clinic, and pro-life activist Barbara are in direct conflict. Somewhere in between is young April, who is dealing with her fifth unplanned pregnancy. The director uses a purely observational approach that is neither judgmental nor does it minimise the decisions faced by the women. The film also reveals the social atmosphere of the American South and the pressure that influential lobby groups exert to pass stricter laws.
