The two-time Academy Award winning actor talks about how she became pregnant around 1964 when she was just 17. She was desperate and didn’t know what to do but a family friend who was a doctor drove her across the border to Tijuana to get an abortion which was illegal then. It was a traumatic experience and, as she says, we are now seeing a resurgence of the same conditions that are forcing women to undergo similar harrowing experiences.
It is a powerful testimony and I hope many people see it and realize how dangerous is the threat to women’s reproductive rights posed by creepy Donald Trump, weird JD Vance, the misogynistic GOP, and a US Supreme Court that wants to take us back to those dark ages.
