I remember the hollowing sensation I felt on June 24, 2022, the day that the Supreme Court deemed that abortion was not a protected right under the U.S. Constitution.
Everyone — on both sides of this debate — knew that women’s lives across the country were going to be drastically transformed.
Since then, a lot of attention has been paid to the most heart-wrenching cases, but this decision affects all women’s bodily autonomy across the country.
I returned to my hometown, Memphis, to make a short film outside a building that once offered abortion services.
In Tennessee abortion is banned, with no exception for rape and very limited medical exceptions that are being debated in state court.
