Roe V. Wade Anniversary Sunday, Screenings at MonkeyWrench

This Sunday marks the 33rd anniversary of Roe Vs. Wade, the landmark abortion ruling that has, yet again, come under attack by various scheming types.

In commemoration, our friend is putting together a special screening of "The Abortion Diaries" by Penny Lane and "Teen Mami," a short documentary by Austinite Laura Donnelly featuring interviews with various women who were teenage mothers with unplanned pregnancies. Excerpted from the "Diaries" website:

"The Abortion Diaries" is a documentary featuring 12 women who speak candidly about their experiences with abortion. The women are doctors, subway workers, artists, activists, military personnel, teachers and students; they are Black, Latina , Jewish and White; they are mothers or child-free; they range in age from 19 to 54. Their stories weave together with the filmmaker's diary entries to present a compelling, moving and at times surprisingly funny "dinner party" where the audience is invited to hear what women say behind closed doors about motherhood, medical technology, sex, spirituality, love, work and their own bodies.

You can watch the first chapter of "The Abortion Diaries" online.
