'Citizen Ruth' and Medical Sexism

On Wednesday, April 5th, Professor Jill Delston will make a presentation on the movie "Citizen Ruth" and philosophical debate on abortion. This black comedy critiques both sides of the abortion debate, pitting the pro-life “baby savers” against lying, kidnapping pro-choicers. Caught in the middle is Ruth, a pregnant woman who just wants to get high. What can this movie teach us about our current legal landscape? How can it point the way forward for a more successful dialogue about abortion?
