In 1983 - 10 years after Roe v. Wade - a landmark FRONTLINE documentary, Abortion Clinic, showed the experience of and conflict over abortion like never before on American television.
Now, 36 years later, FRONTLINE returns to Pennsylvania to look at both sides of the abortion debate in The Abortion Divide. This film offers a window into the sometimes difficult and deeply personal choices women face with unplanned pregnancy - and examines the steadfast belief of the anti-abortion community that there should be no choice at all.
Through inside accounts from providers, patients and activists, The Abortion Divide documents the changes in abortion procedures and practices - and illustrates the reality that the battle over abortion in America seems to be far from over.
