 America since the historic Roe v. Wade decision in 1973 legalized abortion? 
 Director Civia Tamarkin traces the strategy of the anti-abortion movement 
 has used to make reproductive choice unavailable, even if it is still 
 legal.  For over 40 years it has played the long game, working state by 
 state to pass laws that chip away at women's reproductive healthcare 
 options.  The war story that "Birthright" traces is a war of 
 attrition.\n\nTamarkin presents haunting, personal stories of women trapped 
 in the confines of theses new laws interwoven with expert voices of 
 activists and historians.  We learn how women are being jailed, physically 
 violated and even put at risk of dying as a radical movement tightens its 
 grip across America.  One couple, Robb and Danielle Deaver, share the 
 horrors the endured as a direct results of Nebraska's law banning abortions 
 after 20 weeks predicated on questionable science and similar to laws in 25 
 other states.\n\n"Birthright: A War Story" packs a powerful message that
