'There was a lot of sense memory in the acting for me. It's very intimate, what women are put through' (via toofab)
When asked if she could"actually perform terminations," Banks, 48, replied,"I think I might be able to, actually. I'd like to have a little more practice because I didn't actually ever get to dilate anybody -- I got to learn about the tools, watch the videos. But the procedure that we performed from 1968, there are similarities to it now but it is not the exact same. And most abortions now are self-managed via two pills.
"There was a lot of sense memory in the acting for me. It's very intimate, what women are put through," she said."I had a procedure once [for] ovarian cysts. I was a specialized procedure that had to be done by somebody I've never met before, a male technician. He starts his procedure, no bedside manner, and it waspainful. I said, Can you please stop? It was actually making me nauseous, and I was worried I was gonna throw up.
Speaking more on her experience making the film, the"Charlie's Angels" actress said it was"mind-blowing" to learn"about how easy abortion" was back then.
