Roe vs. Wade (1989)
Holly Hunter joue le rôle d'une Texane seule, célibataire et peu éduquée qui se retrouve enceinte sans aucun moyen de subvenir aux besoins d'un enfant. Pour éviter d'abandonner l'enfant, elle cherche à se faire avorter. Refusant l'avortement au Texas, la jeune femme engage un avocat novice pour plaider sa cause devant la Cour suprême des États-Unis. Finalement, la loi est modifiée, mais pour le personnage, cela prend plus de neuf mois. Le débat sur l'avortement ne cherche pas à démoraliser les téléspectateurs, mais plutôt à examiner des questions telles que : qui vient en premier, le bébé ou la mère ? Excellent film à utiliser en classe pour discuter de l'avortement.
