Synopsis:
Based on the landmark 1973 U.S. Supreme Court case that upheld a woman's right to have an abortion, the made-for-television film Roe Vs. Wade follows an unmarried Texas woman (Holly Hunter) and her lawyer (Amy Madigan), as they take her case to the Supreme Court. Abortion is always a controversial issue, yet the filmmakers admirably manage to offend neither side in this straightforward yet gripping account. Roe Vs. Wade won two Emmy Awards: Outstanding Lead Actress (Hunter) and Outstanding Drama Special. I was impressed with the courage Jane Roe had in this movie. I appreciated this film because it showed the lengthy process one encounters making changes through the legal system, and how one can succeed in the end-- despite all odds. I hope we never go back to being a society where women feel that they don't have support from their community. I never knew the details of how abortion came to be legal; the actual story of what her background, circumstances, and courage brought to light. This woman went through and was put through so much, just to make her life better. Little did she know what impact her tenacity would have on us all! This is a moving account of not only one woman's individual struggle, but the integral role our justice system played. Debra Winger nailed this performance.
