Man: We have power,

we have presence, we have knowledge.

Pro-life is on the move.

This is a war to the end!

We won't back down!

They're sick! They're perverted!

You must repent!

Stop the church! Stop the state!

Women must decide our fate!

We want equality, now!

Last night, the abortion controversy was back in the House.

I do not sit down and negotiate with baby killers.

We will no longer tolerate laws

that degrade, mutilate, and murder women!

What about the child's right?

You know, when you talk about the woman's right,

you're talking about one-third of the rights involved.

Listen, honey, if men could get pregnant...

abortion would be a sacrament.

The Court said in a 7-2 decision

that in the first three months of pregnancy,

only the woman and her physician

may decide whether she may have an abortion.

'Morning, Mrs. Donnelly.

Hello, Jim.

It's looking very nice.

Oh, yeah. You're gonna have the prettiest home on the block.

Dr. Hanks is sorry it's taking so long.

Man: How much longer do you think it'll be?

I think it should only be another 10 minutes or so,

and then he'll be able to come out and talk to you about your mother.

Dr. Kramer?

Dr. Kramer. Excuse me, I need to talk to you.

I'm sorry, I have to meet my wife and I'm running late.

It'll just take a minute of your time, sir.

Dr. Kramer, I've been in a bit of shock since we spoke yesterday,

but I've really thought about it and I know what I need to do.

I just need your help and some information.

You're putting me in an awkward position, Claire.

I've known the Donnellys for a long time.

Well, I'm thinking of them, too, Dr. Kramer.

They're practically all the family I have.

That's why I was thinking that maybe

you could prescribe something for me.

I know there are things that I could take.

I'm just afraid, I don't know the dosages--

I can't prescribe anything for you.

It's illegal to terminate a pregnancy.

I can get you a number for the Florence Crittenton Home in Mooreville.

They'll take care of the adoption for you, give you a place to stay.

That's impossible. I can't go away for seven months.

I mean, what would I tell everyone?

I don't know, Claire.

That's the sort of thing one should think about

before one puts herself in this situation.

Woman: Hello!

Claire!

Becky, what are you doing?

You don't have to do my dishes.

Oh, I woke you up.

No. No, I'm just kind of sick.

I know, I was on the hotline with Mom this morning,

she told me everything.

Hi, my sweet girl.

Oh, you know what, hon? No offense,

but I'm sure it's contagious,

and the last thing that I need is a sick baby.

Oh, come here, sweetie.

Here, you sit here.

I think it's just some kind of stomach thing.

Here's your toy.

I didn't want to bother you, but...

Mom wanted me to come over with some chicken soup,

and I brought you some magazines.

Oh, and she also sent over a hot water bottle.

Here, honey.

Thanks.

Jeez, Claire,

you really do look like hell.

Your mom is too much.

I mean, she just does too much for me.

Painting the house and...

I know it's a huge expense for them.

Aw, you know how she is.

Let her help you, though, honey, really, it's good for her.

You know what it is?

I think that by doing for you,

she feels that she hasn't completely lost Steven.

Boy, she was so happy when you two got married.

You were so good to my brother,

He loved you so much.

Oh, I'm sorry, Claire. I'm so stupid sometimes.

It's okay.

Oh, Claire...

I wish I could help you, honey.

There's just so much happening.

Bye-bye. I'll see you.

Okay. Tell Mom thanks for the soup.

I will. Okay, bye.

Look who's here. Hey, Louise!

Hey, Avon lady, where's my lipstick order?

Louise: Next Tuesday, I told you already!

Well, I need it for Thanksgiving.

Louise: She is so impatient!

Here is my last sample,

and this is gonna have to hold you till Tuesday.

Thank you very much. You're welcome.

Oh, my goodness, 12:35. I gotta go pick up Michael.

I'll see you, okay? Bye, sweetie.

Bye, bye!

Oh, the house looks great, Claire.

Thanks, Louise.

Hey, Louise?

Uh-huh?

I've gotta ask you a question.

Can you come up here, though, 'cause I'm not dressed.

Oh, sure.

What?

See you in an hour, Mrs. Donnelly.

Okay, Jim.

I would never ask you this,

but I know that you have an opportunity to get around

and see a lot of people.

There's this woman and her son is in the hospital,

she has three little ones at home,

and she just told me that she found out she's pregnant.

Oh, dear. I mean, she's just overwhelmed.

God, overwhelmed is right.

Well, she asked me if I knew someone who could, you know, do something.

Woman: Hi, Louise!

Are you stopping by later?

Oh, yes, I'll be over this afternoon.

Thank you. I'll see you then, bye-bye.

Well, I honestly don't know anyone myself

that's ever done that or, at least, that's told me that they have, but...

I guess I could ask.

Great.

I have heard rumors about that green house on Worth Street.

You know the old big one, near Worth and Pine?

I thought it was just abandoned houses down there.

Well, yeah.

I mean, she'd have to be pretty desperate.

But you should ask at the hospital.

I mean, someone there is bound to know of a better place.

Right? I hope so.

Yeah.

Excuse me, Mrs. Ford?

Mrs. Donnelly.

Oh, my goodness, I haven't started my shift

and already the work pours in.

Oh, I'm sorry, I can wait.

No, no, no, let's see what you have.

Okay, I have a question

about Maria Cane's admitting information.

I need to get a prescription through,

and I just need this to be clear before I can do that.

I see, yes, it's not clear here.

I can send up the info,

but you can still put the prescription through.

Very good, thank you. Mm-hmm.

I also have another question for you.

I have a friend and she's pregnant.

Oh? And she asked me,

since I work here...

Well, you see, she can't do it.

She can't have the baby.

What is it that you want from me?

Well, I was hoping that we could help her here.

I heard there's someone in ER.

Mrs. Ford, I'm sorry.

I didn't know who else to ask.

I know you've worked here the longest.

Yes, and I would like to keep working here.

Or hadn't you heard, they dismissed two nurses a few weeks ago.

Woman: Excuse me.

It's all right. Go ahead.

We're finished here.

It's time to hit the trenches.

What can I tell her, I mean...

What should I tell her to do?

I don't know.

But I'd appreciate it if you didn't ask me anymore.

Man: I think it might be the next one.

Eh. I haven't been around this neighborhood in years.

Oh, here, Worth Street. We take a right here.

Claire: Okay, it's right down here. It's the big house.

Driver: This house?

Listen, lady, I don't know what you're doing here,

but if you want, I could wait.

It's okay.

I think I made a mistake. It's... it's not the house.

Leave it, Mom. It's not going to wake her.

So, what's going on? Kevin? Oh, it's too loud.

Neighbors will think we're having some kind of party.

Let me take this.

It's a holiday, Mom.

It's Thanksgiving, I think we can listen to some music.

Sit down.

Or a renovation for an apartment.

Mom, would you like a piece? I know it's your favorite.

Man: If they are renting, then they can't do...

In this neighborhood, it's illegal.

Oh, I heard that Uncle Al

has found a tenant for the apartment.

Man: And Aunt Margy ain't too happy about it.

Well, I don't blame her.

I mean, she's a divorcé.

Oh, my goodness.

Mother: Well, you don't know what kind of people

she'd be bringing home.

Father: If she pays the rent, it doesn't matter

what she brings. She pays the rent.

Mmm! This pie is so good.

It is. Mother: It's scrumptious,

Mother: This reminds me of Aunt Maureen's pie.

Aunt Maureen?

Man: Yeah, you know, Aunt Maureen. They were delicious.

Just delicious.

Yeah, but not like this.

Thank you.

I'm gonna have to excuse myself.

I have to work tonight, so, I'm gonna have to go.

Oh, no, don't go.

It's late. Come on, Bill, let's go.

No, no, the kids are exhausted.

I can take care of myself. I'll just walk.

No, no, no. Mother: No, you won't.

Kevin will take you home.

You'll drive her home. Father: There you go.

Give your sister-in-law a ride.

Really, it's okay.

Really, I could use the walk.

Kevin.

Kevin will be absolutely delighted to take you home.

It's nice to have you here.

It was nice being here.

Mother: Let me get your coat.

I'll see everyone later. Father: You take care.

You have to work on Thanksgiving?

Yes. They had no one else to work the shift,

so I said I would.

Claire, I don't want to seem like a...

busybody mother-in-law, but I'm worried about you.

I'm really fine, I really am.

I think that you work too hard,

and I don't want you to worry about money.

We...

We want to be able to take care of...

to take care of you.

You're doing so much for me already. It's really--

I'm not gonna hear anything about that.

We're still family, Claire,

and we're gonna get through this together.

Thank you.

Well, thank you.

Wait.

I...

I wanted to call you, but I just couldn't.

I'm sorry...

I'm so sorry.

Kevin: Claire, what are you doing?

What are you doing to yourself?

I just wanted to help you.

I never meant for anything like that to happen.

You have to believe me.

You know he wouldn't want you doing this to yourself, Claire.

God damn it!

Don't you tell me what he wants.

He doesn't want anything! He's dead!

God damn you, he's dead!

Have you seemed to have forgotten that?

I wanted so badly to call you and...

and tell you how sorry I felt for what happened that night,

but I just couldn't.

I felt so...

so ashamed.

It's not your fault.

I know you'd never do anything to hurt me.

I know you didn't...

Stop crying. Stop crying.

Okay, stop crying.

You just have to forget it ever happened.

Do you hear me?

It never happened.

All right. Yes, I found the mix-up.

It's Carmen M-O-R-O.

No T.

Yeah, birth date, 10-8-35.

Give her my name or she won't tell you anything.

I trust her.

She'll find you someone safe.

Thank you.

Good luck.

Hello?

Claire: Hello, I'm looking for Audrey.

This is she. Who is this?

Well, you don't know me.

I got your number from a friend.

Who gave you my number?

Actually, Jenny Ford.

I work with her and...

Well, she said that you might have the name of someone

who could...

someone who could give me an abortion.

The name I have

is of a woman in Puerto Rico.

She isn't cheap, but the place is clean.

Claire: How much would that cost?

Well, with airfare and hotel,

it'll cost you around thousand.

Oh, God. I don't have that kind of money--

This is the only woman that I would trust.

But you don't understand, I really need to get this done--

No, no. Believe me, I do understand.

But I don't have that much money and I can't borrow from anyone.

Okay, okay.

Let me make some phone calls, okay?

Maybe I can find someone closer.

It's just that I can't make you any promises, okay?

Just in case, let me take your number.

Um...

K-F-5-3-6-9-0.

Okay.

Thank you.

Oh!

Hello!

I was goin' to the store. Do you... Do you need anything?

Claire?

Claire!

Becky.

Claire?

Claire, what's wrong?

What happened?

It's bad. No.

What happened? It's bad--

What happened?

It's bad... Claire?

Oh, God.

What happened? What's wrong?

I don't know what I'm gonna do, Becky.

Tell me, what's wrong?

I couldn't do it. What?

Oh, Becky, I'm pregnant.

Oh, my God. Claire, who did this to you?

I can't tell you. I can't... can't--

It doesn't matter. What do you mean?

It was just a mistake and...

I was just lonely, and... and I was...

and I was hurting,

and I didn't mean for it to happen.

And I...

I'm so sorry.

Oh, my God, am I sorry.

You were lonely?

Claire, my brother's been dead for six months.

I love Steven. I...

Oh, my God, everybody in this town knows us, Claire.

Becky, I...

I tried to take care of it. I...

You can't stay here.

You have to have this baby somewhere else.

Becky, I can't have this baby.

I just can't do it.

I'm gonna have to have an abortion. I can't...

How could you do this?

How could you-- Okay, baby, let's go.

Come on. We're going, come on.

We have to go.

Becky, please don't--

If my mother ever finds out about this, it'll kill her,

so I don't give a damn what you do.

How dare you shame us like this!

How dare you!

Hello.

Hello. It's Audrey Miller.

I found someone for you.

Yes.

I've got someone named Tom,

and he comes to your house.

I got his name from someone who's sister-in-law used him.

Now, I didn't speak to the woman directly,

but I do think it's good that he comes to you.

I mean, it seems a little safer that way.

What's his number?

You can't call him.

He'll call you.

I'll need your name and your work number.

Why my work number?

Look, he'll be discreet.

I've gotta have your work number

because he needs to be able to reach you.

It seems he's pretty busy.

How much does he want?

Well, um...

He... He said 400.

Okay.

This is all finished. Here's the chart.

Oh, all right.

Three West. This is Annie Ross.

No, I don't see it anywhere.

I'll call you if it shows up. Okay.

Hold on, please.

Claire? Telephone for you.

It's Tom.

Oh, Rose can you take Mrs. Sheridan back to her room?

And I'll come right down to check on you.

Hello, Mrs. Sheridan.

Hello.

Tom: Claire Donnelly?

Speaking.

Tom? Yes.

Hold on. Okay.

Um, I guess you know.

400 cash.

You need to pay it in full.

Can you get it by tomorrow?

Yes, that's fine.

What's your address?

2-2-6-6 Evergreen.

I'm in the middle of the block.

All right, I'll be there at eight o'clock tomorrow night.

I'll probably do it in your kitchen,

so, I'll need something to cover your table with,

a bucket, maybe a few towels, okay?

Anything else?

Nope, that's it. See you tomorrow.

Okay. Thank you.

I'm running late.

Do you have the cash?

Yes. In full?

Of course.

Good, let's have it.

You'll get the money when it's done.

Where are you going?

I don't have time for games, lady.

Please, please, come back. I'll give you the money.

I'll give it to you. I'll give it to you.

It's...

Man : Come on! Come on, boy!

Come on!

Anybody else here?

No.

Where's your kitchen?

It's back there.

Do you have everything you need?

It's fine.

Okay, take off your underwear.

Would you like to use the sink?

Mm-mm.

Okay, come on up here and lie down on the table.

Okay, move down to the edge of the table.

Are you gonna disinfect those?

They're fine.

Well, I would really rather not get an infection.

Look...

Do you want to do this or not?

Yes.

Okay.

So let's do it.

Lie down.

Lie down.

Leg up.

Don't move.

Don't move.

The more you move, the more it's going to hurt.

So, don't move.

All right, that's it.

Is it over?

Yes. You'll have some cramping...

and you'll have some bleeding.

If you start to hemorrhage...

call the hospital.

Am I okay?

Am I okay?

Woman : County Hospital.

Claire: I need your help.

Hello?

Right away.

Yes, I understand. I... need your help.

Ma'am?

Ma'am, I need to get your address.

Ma'am, we can't send an ambulance

without the address.

Hello?

Hi, um, I may be calling too early.

My name is Barbara Barrows.

I'm calling about the results of my pregnancy test.

No way, it's my turn!

Hey! Come on, you were just in there!

I gotta pee!

Girl: You'll have to wait!

Woman : Mrs. Barrows, the test came back positive.

Oh.

And that's it?

I mean, there's no chance of a false positive?

Mm-mm, no. The tests are pretty accurate.

Oh.

Well, thank you.

Would you like to make an appointment?

Uh... No, no, no.

I'll call back later.

Thank you. All right, goodbye.

Boy: Mom, can you help me?

I finished it.

It's heavy, I almost broke my arm.

How are you gonna get that into school?

Boy: Jason's gonna help me.

Ew! What is that?

Seaweed, it's good for calcium and iodine.

It's better than red dye number four.

Are you wearing a bra?

Nope. Girl: Is that my notebook?

I want you to put one on-- Good morning!

Sally! Sorry.

Go, please, wake up your brother. He's running late.

Excuse me, why can't Ryan go wake up Scott?

Sexual discrimination starts young, baby, better get used to it.

Oh, spare me.

Ryan: Chester, here, breakfast.

Nobody woke me up, now I'm late.

Barbara: You better hurry if you want breakfast.

Look at him. Ape man!

Linda, why don't you do the world a favor, wear a bra.

Like you'd even know the difference. Oh, good one!

Shut up, stupid. Stop!

Come on! Get her back! Go! Mom!

Okay, if you're going to clobber each other, get out of my kitchen!

Sally: He messed up my hair!

Hey, Mom, the band's gotta rehearse here this afternoon.

Not before 4:00, Scott. Why?

Your father will be sleeping.

Hey, I'm serious, Scott. I won't be here.

I'm taking your brother to Little League.

Scott: Man.

Okay, you guys better straighten up, your dad's home.

Ryan: Want some?

Hi. Hello.

Goodbye.

Hi, Dad.

Hey, everybody. Hi, Daddy.

What's the matter, you okay?

No, actually, I'm not. We gotta talk.

Later.

Ryan: Dad, you gotta tighten the chain on my bike.

It's loose. Okay.

What do we got going over here, meat loaf?

Meat loaf, baked potato, salad on the counter.

Honey, don't forget to send off

your financial aid forms to Radcliffe.

Great, yeah. Hey, listen.

Alison and I are planning a road trip to Boston,

to visit the campus, okay?

Father: I don't know about that. Oh, there's Julie.

It's dangerous for two girls to be out there alone.

You don't know the kind of kooks that are out there.

It's okay, we're staying at Alison's Aunt's house.

John, come on! This is--

Father: "John"? John!

It's Officer John Barrows, to you, miss.

Or is it "ms"?

That enough buzz for ya, "mzzzz"?

Look, Mom, will you talk to him and tell him

that this is not a big deal? I don't want her going!

I've got the maps all laid out. It's already planned!

Can we talk about this tonight?

Because I don't have a car this morning,

and Julia's picking me up for school.

I've just gotta... I get outta here.

Bye, Mom! Bye, Mom.

And don't forget to put your dishes in the sink!

Julia: Okay, don't break a leg. We're not late or anything.

It's just that I didn't have any coffee this morning, sweetie.

Do you mind if we go by the deli, I can get myself a cup?

Hey, what's wrong?

I'm pregnant.

Oh...

Drive, drive.

All right. Sure, honey. Sure, sure, sure.

Okay. All right, all right.

Barbara: Oh, don't stop, Julia.

I don't wanna be late for class.

No.

We're gonna talk.

Here. Oh. Thank you.

So, does John know?

I just found out.

I just now found out.

It's a shock, boy, isn't it?

I know what you're going through.

Julia...

Do you regret it?

No, I really don't.

You know, my friends told me

how I'd be depressed

and feel guilty.

Honestly, I was so relieved.

But... not everybody's the same.

Oh, boy.

Excuse me. Do you know where physics is?

Uh, physics...

last row on the right, by the back door.

Thanks.

Barbara: Well, I'd like to research the personal life of a woman poet for my paper,

but I'm not sure which one yet.

That's good, that's very good.

What will your focus be?

Say, she's got a family.

I mean, where's a woman poet gonna find time to write?

I have a hard time seeing her alone.

I keep seeing her kids interrupting her.

I don't know if it's a good topic.

I just... would love to know how these women balanced it--

their work, their families.

Look, the important thing is that you're enthusiastic about it.

See what you come up with. Give it a try.

Listen. Did you find out about the TA position?

I got accepted for one. Good.

It starts this fall at Franklin High.

11th-graders.

The important thing to know about 11th-graders

is that you can't teach them anything 'cause they know it all.

Oh, I know. I've got one at home.

So do I, two in fact.

I'll see you Thursday. Bye. Thank you.

"Our Bodies, Ourselves," good book.

Oh, you've... you've read it?

I own it.

Oh, leave it. I'll get it.

You know, Mom, you can get one at any health clinic.

What?

It's your legal right.

What are you talking about?

I saw you, Mom...

reading about abortions.

Are you gonna get one?

Linda, I'm so not prepared to talk about this right now.

But thanks for the information.

Barbara: What, more food?

Scott: Mom, the guys are hungry.

Barbara: Why don't they go home and eat?

Because the gig is tomorrow.

Oh, "the gig is tomorrow."

So, I don't guess you slept so great, huh?

All the noise?

Well, they just keep playing

that one tune over and over again.

Like learn a new song!

Mom, I didn't get any dessert.

You didn't? Then who ate all the cake?

Scott took it out to the garage, the band ate it.

What can I have?

How about a cookie?

Okay. There you go, that's it. Now off to bed with you.

But you said I could watch "The Partridge Family."

Okay, fine. Go!

One more cookie, please.

Take two. Now go.

Leave us alone.

Guess what?

Hmm? What?

Ryan: Stop!

I'm pregnant.

You're kidding me.

Sally: Get away from me!

You've been hogging the TV all afternoon!

It's my turn!

Ryan: Mom!

Sally, stop it! I told him he could!

Ow!

I swear to God, if I gotta come in there,

it's gonna be TV off and the lights out! You got that?

Is that clear?

Well... This is something else, isn't it?

That is some news.

Girl: Hi, Barbara. Hi, guys.

Hi, Officer.

Linda: Alison's gonna stay over tonight, okay?

Okay.

Is that--? That's my shirt.

What the hell is Alison doing wearing my shirt?

I've been looking all over for it.

I don't know, honey. I guess Linda borrowed it and probably lent it to her.

Get it back, I want it back.

Okay, fine, I'll get it back tonight.

It looks like a God damn invasion around here.

Nothing belongs to me anymore, nothing.

Mom, one more cookie, please.

One more.

Hey, Mom, want a cookie?

No, honey, I'm trying to talk to Daddy.

I guess we'll talk later, huh?

Right. Like when they're all grown up and married.

Linda: Oh, man, that's heavy.

That's the question. Okay.

Queen of Cups, that's always my mother. Ew.

What? I love your mom. She's so cool.

You live with her.

Okay.

It's done. What are you gonna do?

That's it.

We'll just have to figure it out.

You know, we're experienced enough.

What does that mean to you John?

What are we gonna figure out?

How to accommodate a new baby.

I keep talking about early retirement.

Well, that sure ain't gonna happen with a fifth child.

Come on, honey. What do you want me to say?

Having kids, it's a part of married life.

I just thought I was done doing it, that's all.

I thought I was finished.

We just got a curve ball thrown at us, that's all.

So, we tough it out, right?

Barbara: What does that mean, tough it out?

John: What I just said. I don't get to retire,

Linda doesn't get to go to her expensive school.

Barbara: We can't do that to her, John!

John: Do what? She can go to state college!

It's good enough for you, it's good enough for her!

We're talking about sacrifice.

We all have to make a sacrifice here,

all of us, you know, including you.

Your degree is gonna have to wait.

I don't wanna wait, John!

I just got started again!

God, this is déjà vu.

I feel like I'm pregnant with Linda all over again!

I don't know what the hell else you wanna do.

I don't know what I wanna do.

I just want you to understand how important school is to me!

Oh, come on, honey, I know that.

No, you don't.

If you did, you'd know that my quitting school

isn't the answer to everything.

It's important to me.

Do you realize that for the first time since Linda was born,

I'm having actual adult conversation.

I'm talking about what's goin' on in the world--

Hang on, hang on.

That's what we're having right now, right?

This is an adult conversation.

It may not be about art and philosophy,

but we're having an adult conversation, right here--

Stop! John, I know! I'm just trying to say

that there are no easy answers here.

I just wanna work this out somehow

without us all having to give up everything that's important to us.

I don't know what you have in mind.

I don't know... I don't know.

What do you think the alternative is? I don't know.

What are you saying is the alternative? I don't know!

Here are your shoes.

Ryan: Oh, way to go!

Scott: Okay, buddy...

Why'd you tell him? I almost got away with it!

$100.

John, you're gonna be late!

Got your keys, your wallet?

Okay.

We'll work it out, okay?

Kiss?

I just have one thing to say to you.

If you think that I'm gonna give up on going away to college

just because you guys screwed up...

Linda, I don't want you to give up going away to college.

Oh, come on. I'm not deaf.

I heard you guys up there!

"We all have to sacrifice"!

Just a minute. Now, just listen to me for one minute, Linda.

Nothing is decided here,

and I don't want everybody in the house to know about this

until we have decided what to do.

What is there to decide?

Okay, look, you wanna be a martyr, that's your business,

but I'm not gonna pay for your mistakes.

I'm not gonna do it!

I mean, she came completely unglued,

and then she called me a martyr.

Oh, boy. Katie calls me that almost every other day.

After all I do for her.

I mean, who irons her clothes?

Who cleans her room?

Who argues with Daddy when he says "no"?

Little ingrate.

There you go. That's the job description of a martyr.

I am not a martyr, Julia.

Barbara, listen to yourself.

You're one and I'm one, and all this self-sacrifice,

all this unconditional love, it's just bullshit.

Hell, we expect a lot of gratitude for what we do.

You're right.

So, why am I killing myself trying to please her?

Let her iron her own damn clothes.

Let's go away and have a cup of coffee.

All right, mom on strike. Mom on strike!

Woman : Good morning, Westside Women's Health Services.

Uh... Yes, hi.

Hello. This is Helen. How may I help you?

Um... I need to talk to someone.

I just need some information about getting an abortion.

Yeah.

Here's a really great one.

It's called "She."

"She wears her pain like an aging dress.

"Moves her hips within and smothers in its warmth.

"She cries for freedom.

Discard lady-like lace to lose companionship."

Killer, huh? Yeah.

Hang up the phone. I wanna talk to you.

Listen, Alison, I gotta go. Okay.

I'll call you back later.

You're going away to college, Linda,

I want you to know that.

What about you?

What about me?

I don't think you want to have this baby.

Do you think this baby would have a good life

if its mother resents it even being there?

You're exaggerating how I feel, Linda.

I don't think you even know how you feel.

We all know how Dad feels,

you certainly know how I feel,

but you're not even giving yourself the right to your own opinions!

Excuse me, I have my own opinions.

I just don't feel the need to shout it out to the whole world.

This is a fire hazard.

I've been researching the topic of my paper, the poets,

the women poets and how they balanced work and family.

Mm-hmm.

Well, they didn't. They didn't balance anything.

I've been doing... reading the biographies

of Plath and Sexton,

and their lives were a mess.

So much for my brilliant topic.

Well, that's too bad.

But maybe you can make something out of what you found.

Look, this wasn't what you expected,

but there might be some good in it.

Don't give up.

Uh... I'll think about it.

Thank you.

Woman: Hi.

Hi, Tiffany.

See you Tuesday. Yeah.

So, I heard you guys rehearsing the other day.

Oh, yeah? Yeah. It sounded really good.

Scott: Yeah, it's called having a new drummer.

Okay, that's good.

You bring that down.

Bring down the eight.

32, that's right.

Okay, now, check your proofs, sweetie.

Okay.

You look like a Leif Garrett

or a Shaun Cassidy.

You hate that, right?

How's my girl?

Barbara: Got your wallet?

Got your lunch?

Good night, sweetie.

Good night.

Good night, all.

Ryan: Bye, Dad.

Okay, let's see what you got.

Two into eight, goes how many times?

Yeah?

Can I come in?

Yes.

I just wanted to let you know what I decided.

I'm gonna have the baby.

I don't know if it's the right decision, Linda. I...

It's just the only one that I can live with.

That's great, really.

I know.

Everything seems so simple when you're young.

Don't worry, honey.

It's what I want.

It'll be okay.

Man: All right, check ya later!

Man: Hey, will someone please tell Kirk

turn down "The Artist Formally Known As Prince"?

Man : Fuck you, asshole!

Watch out! Jack's doing his bad Arnold imitation!

Man: You're lame, Jack!

Jack: Hasta la vista, baby!

Here you go. God bless you.

Woman: Hey! Hey, you guys, don't play in the clothes.

Go out and play on the sidewalk, come on!

You little munchkins.

Man: Hey, Chris.

Hey.

Chris, you left so quickly, I didn't get a chance--

You left your blueprints,

and, um, I wanted to tell you,

your work is... is wonderful.

You're really talented, Chris.

I want you to have this.

Please, take it.

Look, I know you can't afford it, so...

So, this is money. Yeah.

Giving me money.

Chris, I don't know what to say. I...

What did you expect? What did you think was gonna happen?

That you cared. I do care.

I expected that you cared about me.

I do care.

Yeah?

Look, I'm late. I have to go.

I... What?

I'm late. I have to go.

Oh, I'm keeping you?

I'm...

I wouldn't wanna do that.

Wouldn't wanna make you late...

Professor.

Hey, Chris. Hey.

You around tonight? It's Jack's birthday.

Oh. Party? Yeah.

You ever known me to miss a party?

She sits there and calls me a whore and a slut and a !

Why can't I call her a ?

How can you talk to your mother like that?

Hey, what's up?

Oh! Whoo!

Thank you! Thank you, tell her a little something!

Little trollop.

Kick her out!

What is she still doing there?

Oh, Chris, I forgot.

Your mom called you last night.

Oh, sorry.

How long did she keep you on the phone?

We just hung up.

Your mother is so special.

She was telling me some story

about how in the '60s,

women drew their mouths up at the corner,

so that they always looked like they were smiling.

I mean, gone!

She also wanted to know if you were coming home

for your brother's little rehab party.

I went to Barnes & Noble today.

I found the best books on prenatal care,

diet, everything.

Yay!

What is wrong with you?

I just saw Jim.

And?

Um, basically, he said, "See ya...

Wouldn't wanna be ya."

Then he gave me money.

Well, I'd really like to know

what he thinks you're gonna do with that.

What do you think he expects me to do with it?

I don't know, maybe he's right.

What the hell are you saying?

What do you mean, you think he's right.

You don't even believe in abortion!

All right, I'm a hypocrite, okay.

I'm a hypocrite and a fucking coward,

but I can't go through with this!

So let me just get this right. Are you tryin' to tell me

that you've decided to kill your baby?

Why is this so important to you?

This isn't, you are.

My God, we've been friends since...

'88, it's '96 now, what is that?

That would be eight and a half years.

Eight and a half and you still suck at math.

I still suck at math,

but I am damn good at you, Chris.

Listen to me.

Chris, I know you.

All right, I know that if you...

I know that if you get this abortion,

you are not gonna be able to live with yourself.

All I'm asking you

is to please think about what you're doing.

Think about it? I'm 10 weeks.

10 weeks already!

How long you want me to think?

You get this abortion,

and I swear to you, you are on your own.

Women: Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now

and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for our sinners now

and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now

and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee...

Excuse me, honey.

Yeah?

What's your name?

Christine.

Christine. Yeah.

You're not going in there to have an abortion, are you?

Doreen, honey, come here.

Look, this is my daughter, Doreen.

Hi.

Hi. I think Christine

might wanna hear what you have to say.

She's young, like you are.

Hi, Christine.

Listen, I just need you to hear me out a minute.

I have four kids.

Now, I am not rich.

I am no super-mom,

but I am grateful for the gifts that God has given me,

and my children are those gifts.

Maybe you're not married,

maybe your boyfriend won't marry you,

but, honey, your baby shouldn't have to pay for that.

Just wait.

When you have your baby

and you hold your son or your daughter in your arms,

that love,

that maternal instinct, it just takes over.

It is so fierce, Christine, it'll surprise you.

So, Doreen, tell us. What happens to all those mothers who beat their kids,

or abandon them, or maybe even murder them?

Because they didn't want them in the first place?

I guess their maternal instincts

just didn't click in like yours, huh?

Hi, I'm Frances.

I'm here to escort you into the clinic. Come on...

Christine, she's just trying to distract you!

Christine, we can help you keep your baby!

We can help you financially, we'll set you up!

Hey, ladies, excuse me!

I thought this was America!

Just get back!

Christine, you're already a mother, just like me!

I carry my baby in my arms, you carry yours inside you!

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Okay, come on.

That's all we can do.

We tried to stop her. And pray...

She's coming in for a follow-up. Okay.

Are you still thinking about coming in full day Fridays? I hope not.

Shameeka, do me a favor. Call my car alarm guy,

and tell him my alarm is still not working right.

Dr. Thompson, we've gotta talk about tomorrow's schedule before you leave.

Shameeka, this is Christine.

Hi, Christine. Hi.

Fill this one out,

and the other one tells you about our procedures.

Shameeka: You guys make it impossible for me to clear the schedule.

Woman: Well, I don't wanna come in full day Fridays.

Woman: All right, Christine.

I'm gonna take your temperature now, open up.

There you go.

You'll be fine.

We're just gonna have you rest.

Woman: Well, I guess what I'm not clear about is

if you're here because you wanna be

or if someone's pressuring you.

Oh...

I'm not being pressured.

I wanna be here.

I mean, I don't actually wanna be here.

I'm just a little confused.

That's okay. It's all right.

Let's just go over the options again.

Okay? All right.

The women outside kind of yelled something about the expenses.

They could take care of expenses.

Okay, in all fairness,

they have been able to provide some women

with baby supplies and a place to live temporarily.

Temporarily... Yeah, that's what I figured.

Well, are your parents around?

Have you tried to talk to them?

You know, they're, um...

They're really strict Irish Catholic,

and I'm, um...

I'm one of five kids.

I'm the good kid, so they tell me.

Yeah. That is a lot of pressure, isn't it?

Yeah. Yeah, it's a lot of pressure.

Well...

What about the relationship that caused the pregnancy?

He's married.

He's concerned about his wife finding out,

and that's about it.

It's so not fair, it doesn't seem fair at all.

He goes about his life and I'm here making this decision,

and I just, um...

I'm having a hard time thinking about

the baby being ripped out of me.

'Cause they said that it can feel it,

feel the hurt.

Is that...

Can it?

Look, Christine.

I know that's what the people outside are saying,

and I've asked the same question to the medical people I trust,

and they say that it's not true.

They say there is no pain involved

in a first trimester abortion, none at all.

This is hard.

I know it is.

It's very hard.

And it's my job to help you be clear on your decision.

Oh, shit. You know, I can't believe

we fell for that huge demonstration story today.

We were ready for 'em, too.

I had 150 people ready to come down here at a moment's notice.

That's why they call 'em rumors.

They probably planned it that way jut to watch us jump.

I know.

That one's a baby herself.

Her husband brings her down this morning.

There were three other kids in the car.

You know the clinic director, Angela?

She was telling me they took Dr. Thompson to lunch one day.

Really? Mm-hmm.

That must've been something special. What happened?

Nothing.

They couldn't convince her, she couldn't convince them.

It is so weird.

They say hello every morning, they wave goodbye.

Huh? How people manage to coexist.

It is weird.

I'll do this. Okay.

Hi.

I couldn't go through with it.

It's okay.

Take your time.

Think about it.

Women:

Christine.

We'll pray for you, Christine.

Pray for me? I didn't do it.

She didn't do it!

Christine!

Call us.

If we can help you,

we can give you baby clothes and a crib and a stroller. Here.

Oh, thank God.

Thank God.

It's not Friday yet. See you tomorrow.

How's your baby, Doreen?

She's fine, Dr. Thompson.

Good afternoon, Doctor.

Christine: Next weekend?

Yeah, but I didn't think the house was gonna be done

until July, Mom.

Okay.

Is that right, you have five?

Five outdoor ceiling fans.

That's really great.

I'm glad I know that they were a fun thing for you to buy.

Mom...

No, go get your door, it's okay.

I'll, um...

I'll talk to you some other time.

I just wanted to see if you were doing all right,

and you are.

I'm glad.

Okay.

Yeah, me, too.

Okay.

Okay, bye.

Yo!

Man: Hey, Chris!

Yeah, oh, hi.

I saw your blueprints, they look amazing!

Thanks.

Hey, hey, Chris, you made it!

Good, how are you?

Wanna go back and play some quarters?

Oh!

There you go.

Whoa. Whoa, Chris.

All right. You ever try this bed downstairs?

You ever try this bed? What is this?

This is the lumpiest bed. What are you doing?

Seriously, just lie back-- You think you're gonna get lucky?

Wait a second. Wait. You wanna play some pool?

Come on, let's go play some pool. Come on over here.

I can kick your ass in pool.

Calling Chris. You are wanted

on the pool table, immediately, for an ass-kicking--

Good night. Where are you going?

No, it's too early for bed. Come here.

You are pushing your luck, my friend.

Are you sure? Can I come with you?

You wish! Come on!

Some other time. Are you sure?

No.

All right.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm wasted.

Whoa. Oh.

Hi, friend.

Hi, sweet friend of mine.

Oh, boy.

You know...

Tonight... Tonight, when I was in the bathtub...

I looked down, I looked at my stomach,

I looked pregnant.

What are you talking about?

I definitely look pregnant when I'm naked.

I look pregnant 'cause I, uh...

chickened out.

Yeah, I chickened out, but...

tomorrow.

I'm definitely gonna go back tomorrow. I'm gonna go back tomorrow.

Why are you even telling me this?

Why?

Excuse the shit out of me for being a little confused.

I'm just a little confused over here.

I'm not always right.

I don't always have the right answer.

That's bullshit. That's bullshit!

You know exactly what to do! You just won't accept it!

And that's why you are so damn confused all of the time!

That's right! That's right, girlfriend!

I'm so screwed!

Screwed.

I'm screwed for screwing the nutty professor.

Is that right?

Patti, I made a mistake!

I made one hell of a big mistake!

Could you forgive me for making a mistake, friend?

My fucking best friend,

could you forgive me for making a mistake?

Here.

Oh, I don't want your snotty rag.

It's not snotty, I just got it out of my pocket.

Come on...

Your nose is snotty.

Could you help me?

Could you throw away your morals for once?

Could you just throw them away and help me?

It's cool.

It's cool?

I'll be there for you.

What is going on?

Oh, God.

Okay, look. This looks way too intense,

maybe we should come back tomorrow.

No, I can't. I can't.

Let's just get it over with, all right?

Woman: Our job here is to protect patients and staff...

Christine?

What are you doing here, honey?

Honey, what are you doing here?

We talked about this yesterday. We told you, please!

Let's talk about it! You should go.

Frances: Let her through!

Man: Give her a hand! Help her through!

Help her through! Come on, let's go!

The girl's goin' through enough already.

It's Frances. I need some help out here!

If you get an abortion, you are still a mother.

You're just the mother of a dead baby!

Go, go.

Why don't you go help her?

Did you ever ask yourself

if this is good Christian way to make a living?

Do you ever think about that?

No, I don't. I'm Jewish.

God, they're bold.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Come on, let's go on back.

Let us through! We've got you. We've got you. You're all right.

I'll pray for all of you,

that you're heading straight to hell!

Man: This is a house of murder!

They are doing murder in this house!

In the name of the Lord, I will not stop--

Don't worry, sweetie.

We are not gonna let them in here.

We have got the law on our side, don't worry.

Why don't you come with me.

There's room in the back where you can lay down until you relax a little.

Can he come with me, please? I can't go without him!

Of course he can go with you.

Why don't you go with her until she feels better. I'll show you where.

You're okay, sweetheart. You're all right.

Dorothy just called.

She couldn't get through the barricades, she went home.

All right, at least she called.

I would never let anything happen.

She's just scared. It's ridiculous out there.

Are you okay? I'm okay. I got her.

Man: Burn in hell, you baby killer!

Man: Stop her!

Jesus... People!

Jesus! Baby killer!

Hey, get off my car!

This situation is completely out of control!

These people are within their rights.

Their rights? What about my rights?

They come to my house, bother my children in school!

God damn it!

That's Dr. Thompson.

Yeah, she's a tough lady.

She flies twice a week to this clinic up north

that's always got picketers.

Woman: Great, now the 6:00 news is here,

All right, Shameeka, have everybody call home.

Let people know they're okay.

My mother is gonna have a heart attack if she sees this on TV.

I'm telling you, it's gonna get worse now that the cameras are here.

Dr. Thompson?

Dr. Thompson, are you all right?

Yeah, Marcia, I'll be right there.

Man: Are you going to be with me in this struggle?!

Man: Our cause is just! Our consciences are clear!

These people are crazy.

They're not crazy.

I mean, that guy might be a little radical,

but their overall concept is right.

Excuse me?

Then what the hell are you doing in here?

Listen to what this young woman has to say

to each and every one of you! Her urgent message!

I'm here to represent the young women of this country.

God forgive us for taking roles that aren't ours to take!

May he break the curse of independence in women's hearts!

If you do those deep breathing exercises, they'll help.

Hi, Christine, I'm Dr. Thompson.

I'm gonna be doing the procedure this morning.

Here, Marcia.

First I have to listen to your little heart.

Let me warm this up.

Okay.

Mmm, it's beating.

Okay, take a deep breath.

All right, again.

Okay, great, lay back.

Okay, now's when I get nervous.

That's okay, honey, it's so normal,

It's perfectly normal, really.

If one of us has to be nervous,

better you than me, right?

She's too funny.

Can I ask you a question?

Thompson: Mm-hmm.

With all that you have to deal with,

why do you still do this?

Because I remember what it was like

when it was illegal for women to make this decision.

I don't ever wanna see those days come again.

And also when a woman comes to me

and says she doesn't know what she would've done without my help,

I know I'm doing the right job.

Okay, schooch down, hon.

Come on. What is that they say?

You can never be too rich, too thin,

or too close to the end of the table.

I'm gonna explain everything as we go along,

so there'll be no surprises.

I'm gonna put in the speculum.

It's a little cold. I tried to warm it up.

You mean to tell me that you think that

that 12-year-old I had in here last week,

should've had that baby?

She could've given her baby up for adoption.

Oh, yeah, right, girlfriend.

You know what?

You are living in a fantasy world.

'Cause just the other day I was thinkin',

what a big demand there is for little black babies.

Thompson: All right, I'm gonna take this swab

and dip it in disinfectant...

You're okay.

...and swab the area.

Who will control the minds of our children

for the next 100 years?

That is the struggle that is before us today, people!

And we cannot let the armies of death triumph!

We must win this war!

All right.

You're gonna feel a little stick.

Listen, I see this all the time.

You people, you come in here, you get your abortion,

and the next day you're back out there on the line!

Shameeka!

That's a completely inappropriate conversation to be having in here.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

I was just looking for the restroom.

It's right down the hall.

Yes, of course, it is. I'm sorry. It's okay.

If you'd arrest all the fags and lesbians,

this would all be over!

Fuck you, you redneck, asshole!

What are you studying in school?

Architecture.

Really? My uncle's an architect.

He just helped me redo my bungalow.

He's so sweet. He put one of those skylights in my bedroom.

Let's go, come on!

You have no right!

Marcia: Take some deep breaths now, okay?

That's it, you're doing really well.

You're gonna hear a suction machine.

You might hear a little noise, don't be scared.

Break it up!

Thompson: You're doing really well.

We're almost over.

Thompson: Okay, it's all done,

and you came through it like a trooper.

It's over.

Murderer!

Oh, my God!

Did I shoot you?

I didn't mean to shoot you.

I'm sorry.

Shit, I didn't mean to hurt you. Are you all right?

I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm sorry. You got blood--

Oh, my God.

She's been shot.

The doctor's been shot!

Oh, my God.

Somebody!

Oh, my God.

Help!
