The 'A' Word: America's War On Women

June 24, 2022, America’s Supreme Court voted on a decision that would impact the futures of millions of people. In THE A-WORD, we meet those most vulnerable to America’s abortion bans, and the medics who risk committing felonies to save them. Shadowing multiple abortion clinics, we track patients forced to travel the length of the USA to get needed care. We meet abortion providers who are so terrified they tuck firearms into their scrubs. Through this, we explore the Christian nationalist movement behind it all. Abortion - a word so stigmatised that it has become impossible to say - has divided this nation. Two years on, the fight over the “A-Word” has become a battle for freedom, equality and healthcare itself.
