  • "Set in the same house in 1952, 1974 and 1996, this drama tells three very personal stories of women dealing with unplanned pregnancies in different social climates"--ATAS notes. In the 1952 segment, Demi Moore plays a recently widowed pregnant nurse who undergoes a kitchen-table abortion after she finds out that she is pregnant with the child of her dead husband's brother. In the 1974 segment, Sissy Spacek plays a woman whose children are all in school and who is now taking courses at college and looking forward to a career when she finds out that she is pregnant. The 1996 segment concerns a young college girl who is pregnant with her married professor's child. Cher is a doctor at an abortion clinic who is daily threatened and picketed by pro-life activists. The lives of these two women become irreversibly intertwined."@en
  • "A trilogy of stories set in the same house--with different occupants and spanning over 40 years--examines three women, the common crisis of an unexpected pregnancy, and the wrenching decision to have an abortion. In 1952, abortion is illegal. A widowed nurse deals with her unexpected pregnancy by taking drastic measures to obtain one. In 1974, a happily married woman, the mother of four children, discovers that she is pregnant again. Now she must choose between losing her lifelong dream and terminating her pregnancy. In 1996, a Catholic college student finds herself pregnant as the result of an affair with a professor. She decides on an abortion, but does not realize what it means to go through with one, while society rends itself asunder with violent protest."@en
