Honey, I Aborted the Kids

By: Ally the Manic Listmak​er

Despite abortion being legalized and/or acceptable in most countries, it is still something emotional and sometimes heartbreaking for a woman to go through. The way it is portrayed in cinema can be enlightening, disturbing, and/or a reflection of the way things are. The films either feature an abortion or a character who considers it.

Not in the database:
-Le procès de Bobigny (2006)
-Blue Denim (1959)

Note: I’ve included Eraserhead, because some interpretations say the film is about abortion.

“Sometimes I wish I was a woman, just so I could have an abortion.” – John Waters, who also said in 2011 that 4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days was the “best abortion movie”.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High probably contains the best abortion scene I've scene, mostly because it treats it like no big deal. No melodramatics and the movie isn't even about abortion.
