<\/p>\n

Post-Roe America<\/a> is a new, scary world: after the overturning of Roe v Wade<\/a>, which ensured the the constitutional right to an abortion, reproductive rights within the country were thrown into peril. Plan C<\/em>, a new documentary by director Tracy Droz Tragos, <\/strong>depicts <\/strong>the reality of this world \u2014 with the ongoing fight to protect and expand access to abortion sitting at the heart of the powerful film. <\/p>\n

Premiering at Sundance Film Festival<\/a> earlier this year and currently screening at SXSW<\/a>, Plan C <\/em>focuses on a group of people running a collective of the same name, consisting of determined advocates, midwives, and doctors working to increase access to abortion pills. <\/p>\n

These pills, mifepristone and occasionally misoprostol, are widely-used<\/a> for an abortion. Both have been deemed safe by the FDA \u2014 but access to them is being increasingly limited, even outlawed in some states. At the time of this writing, a case against mifepristone<\/a> will be made by a federal judge in Texas, one that may have the power to deeply alter the state of medical abortion<\/a>.<\/p>\n
