A 1996 American AnthologyFilm directed by Creator/NancySavoca and Music/{{Cher}} that follows different women in three different time periods dealing with abortion.
The movie stars Creator/DemiMoore, Creator/SissySpacek, Cher, Creator/ShirleyKnight, Creator/CatherineKeener, Creator/JasonLondon, Creator/CCHPounder, Creator/HedyBurress, Creator/JoannaGleason, Creator/IanBohen, Creator/XanderBerkeley, among others.
It aired on Creator/{{HBO}} on October 13, 1996. It was followed by ''Film/IfTheseWallsCouldTalk2'' in 2000.
-----------------
!Tropes for the film:
* TheFifties: The first segment takes place in 1952.
* TheSeventies: The second segment takes place in 1974.
* TheNineties: The third segment takes place in 1996.
* AlliterativeName: Christine Cullen.
* BackAlleyDoctor: The illicit abortionist in the first act looks and acts like he walked out of an audition for a TortureTechnician. His Equipment is pretty dirty, and he ignores Claire's concerned inquiry into whether they're sterile. Once he finishes the job, he turns and walks away without a word as the concerned Claire is still lying on her back. In the next scene, Claire [[UncertainDoom apparently dies]] from internal bleeding due to his apathy and incompetence.
* FriendlyEnemy: In the third act, Dr. Beth Thompson at the abortion clinic engages in daily friendly conversations with several of the protestors who picket her clinic, trying to dissuade women from getting abortions. However, one protestor [[MurderIsTheBestSolution doesn't share those feelings, and proves it in the most dramatic way possible]].
* IHaveThisFriend: Used when the pregnant Claire asks a neighbor and a coworker where "a friend" could get a safe abortion.
* {{Tagline}}: "There's one question only a woman can answer".
