Buffed Film Buffs

Women's History Month 2022 Pregnancy Series

By Lydia Smith

Abortion

"Once a taboo subject reserved for off-screen discussion, there is now a hearty catalog of abortion-based films, with tones ranging from situationally harrowing to pleasantly normalizing."

Giving the Baby Away

"Whether it’s an unplanned pregnancy leading to adoption, a surrogacy situation, or the case of a woman relinquishing the role of full-time parent in a less conventional sense, this subgenre has admittedly fewer entries than the other two sections. "

Raising a Child

"Whether you’re doing it with a partner, with a found family, or all by yourself, the decision to bring new life into the world and go to bat for it, regardless of the consequences, is an honorable one."
