New Abortion Onscreen database

The Abortion Onscreen database is a project of ANSIRH’s Abortion Onscreen program and aims to include all American film and television depictions in which a character obtained an abortion or disclosed that they had had one in the past. Plotlines in which a character considers but does not have an abortion are not included in these results. You can search by title and keyword; media type, genre, and release date (going as far back as 1916); character age, race, and location; and the legality and health outcome of the abortion portrayed.
