CEN1-06. Zurawski v Texas

US, Feature Documentary, 2024, 99 min

Executive produced by Hillary and Chelsea Clinton

Amanda Zurawski had severe pregnancy complications at 18 weeks and was denied abortion care under Texas law. Three days later, she came down with sepsis -- a massive life-threatening infection. An abortion was finally legally performed, and she spent 3 days in ICU near death. She eventually survived but may never again conceive without high medical costs. Zurawski's lawsuit eventually was joined by many other plaintiffs with their own stories of pain and heartbreak. Zurawski v Texas reveals the dire impact of politicians taking away your rights to healthcare —and the extraordinary efforts of the women and men fighting on the frontline to regain those rights.
