00:00I mean, it is 2022 and we're still dealing with getting to have autonomy over our own bodies.
00:08That's crazy.
00:16We've been very effective in targeting abortionists.
00:19When abortion clinics close, babies get saved.
00:22The idea that we would go back to that was just unbearable to me.
00:26Politics affects people.
00:27And the people behind this anti-choice movement are very clear about their agenda.
00:36They're not hiding it.
00:37They're not sugarcoating it.
00:40You see how they are very obvious with wanting to limit women and put them in a different
00:48level than men.
00:49And they say it very clearly.
00:51They say, well, obviously a woman's place is somewhere else.
00:56The documentary we shot in 2018 warned us of it.
01:06They said this will happen if we don't mobilize as women and as people, as supporters of women.
01:13And so the experts knew that this was a really large probability of happening.
01:19And now it's happening.
01:20And so now it's time to react.
01:22I hope, you know, we have some elections coming up in the United States.
01:26And I hope that those elections reflect people's anger towards the stripping of women's rights.
