What Abortion: Stories Women Tell Is About

Tracy Droz Tragos made the documentary in Missouri, where she is from, and where at the time a single clinic served the entire state. Filming began in September 2014, the period in which the state legislature passed one of the strictest waiting periods in the country, requiring seventy-two hours between consultation and procedure. The film holds women dealing with unplanned pregnancies, the people who work at the clinic, and activists on both sides of the argument inside the same account, and the longest stretches of it are spent with women trying to make a decision. HBO Documentary Films released it after a Tribeca premiere on 18 April 2016, and it was nominated at the 37th News and Documentary Emmy Awards.
