The Abortion Pill Synopsis
THE ABORTION PILL is a PBS News and Public Affairs special that tells the explosive story of RU486. This award winning program dramatically weaves the political history of the “abortion wars” with the decade long fight to bar RU486 from the U.S. for over a decade.
Called “the moral property of women,” by supporters, and “the death pill” by opponents, the film features dramatic portraits of key players. From the pill’s inventor, Etienne Beaulieu, to his bitter foe, Ken Dupin, we travel from a pro-life boot camp in Florida to a French clinic, from India, to Brazil, to England, and finally, to the United States, where it’s introduction was heralded as a revolutionary development in the right to abortion.
