The Movement That Decriminalized Abortion | From Danger to Dignity (1995) | Roe v Wade

From Oscar-nominated director Dorothy Fadiman, From Danger To Dignity weaves together two parallel stories: the evolution of underground networks that helped women find safe abortions outside the law, and the intensive efforts by activists and lawmakers to decriminalize abortion through legislative and judicial channels. 51 years on from Roe v Wade, this film combines rare archival footage with interviews that document the courageous efforts of those who fought to break the silence, change the laws and end the shame which surrounded abortion when it was a crime in the United States to this day.
