Have our favorite shows and movies shaped the way we think about abortion? Hollywood has a huge impact of how we understand abortion. It can drive a plot, like in Dirty Dancing, or inspire conversations about who gets abortions, like in the television series Maude. It can also be dramatized – turning a common medical procedure into something good, bad, or anything in between, depending on who is telling the story and how. Brittany Luse chats with <a href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2281334/"target="_blank" >Janet Goldwater</a>, a director of the documentary <a href="https://tribecafilm.com/films/hollywood-does-abortion-2026"target="_blank" >Hollywood Does Abortion</a>, and <a href="https://www.ansirh.org/about/staff/steph-herold-mph"target="_blank" >Steph Herold</a> at Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health (ANSIRH) to understand how Hollywood handles, or mishandles the topic of abortion.
