Opinion: Hollywood rarely tells the truth about abortion. 'Little Woods' is different.
Tessa Thompson and Lily James in"Little Woods." By Renee Bracey Sherman April 23 at 2:46 PM Renee Bracey Sherman is a writer and reproductive justice activist.
Set in rural North Dakota near the Canadian border, Ollie is serving her final week on probation for illegal oxycodone sales. Her sister Deb is unexpectedly pregnant and figuring out how to care for her young son, maintain their trailer-van home and get to the nearest abortion clinic. With no other options for income, Ollie reluctantly returns to selling oxycodone.
The cost of pregnancy and child-rearing is a common aspect of what reproductive justice advocates call economic coercion: Some people have abortions simply because they cannot afford to have a child and the government does not provide adequate safety-net services such as food, transportation and housing resources to support people taking care of another baby.
Traveling long distances for an abortion is increasingly common as onerous restrictions increase; by contrast, Canada is facilitating access to abortion, including a decision last week to remove an unnecessary ultrasound requirement for medication abortions.
