language
There is infrequent use of strong language (‘f**k’). Milder terms include ‘shit’, ‘bullshit’, ‘ass’, ‘bastard’, ‘screwed’, ‘God’ and ‘hell’. An unlikeable character casually refers to 'activist dykes'.
sex
There are moderate sex references, including a scene in which a man and woman negotiate a professional deal while playing a drinking game which involves the removal of clothing. The man asks the woman to take off her ‘panties’ and she offers to remove her blouse instead. She then performs a short strip tease, only to reveal that she is wearing a tanktop under the blouse.
drugs
Two women are shown sharing a joint.
theme
The film concerns an underground network of women who help other women procure illegal abortions during the 1960s. The theme is handled sensitively. In addition to frequent moderate verbal references to abortion, there are multiple scenes depicting termination procedures in a visually discreet manner. One such scene features moderate threat, as a frightened woman trembles and makes soft noises of discomfort while undergoing the procedure. In another scene a woman tries to gather the courage to throw herself down a staircase in order to induce a miscarriage, but she does not go through with it and is later able to terminate her pregnancy through the network.
There are infrequent non-graphic references to pregnancy resulting from rape. In another scene a woman is briefly catcalled by a man in the street. There are verbal references to suicide during a darkly comic scene in which a woman tries to convince a doctor that she is suicidal in order to legally procure an abortion. Through a translucent glass door we see silhouetted figures of cops beating a protester with batons during a short scene of violence. There are mild scenes of historical sexism and references to racism, but the work carries a clear anti-discrimination message. Other issues include references to bereavement.
