Sex & Nudity

Violence & Gore

  • A scene of a "suction-method" abortion contains extreme graphic imagery, including blood splattering, the doctor's hands covered in blood, the suction tube as blood and tissue pass through it, the tube being inserted into the woman's vagina and bloody operating tools. Another scene, using the injection method, shows a sonogram display of the child within the womb, the child's heartbeat is heard and the needle used is shown going into its heart.
  • Several shots of profuse bleeding and severely blood-stained clothing.
  • A woman is seen squatting over a toilet bowl, pants down, while screaming in unbearable pain. After screaming and pushing, a bloody fetus is shown dropping into the toilet bowl.
  • A close-up shot of the fetus, to reveal that it's still breathing.
  • A close-up shot of the toilet, bloods stains on it and the fetus in the bowl.
  • Several extremely graphic shots of a woman holding her aborted baby in her hands. A significant amount of blood is shown, as well as a very realistic looking fetus.
  • A woman is seen vomiting.
  • Extreme close-up shot of a woman's crotch area, as her jeans are soaking with blood.
  • Shots of blood dripping onto the floor and shots of blood being smeared on the walls.

Profanity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The music is incredibly intense at times, presented as more of a horror film than a documentary. This music is used when showing the main character squatting over the toilet, eventually expelling her aborted baby. This scene, as well as a scene where the woman is struggling down the hall while bleeding are very tense, suspenseful and difficult to watch.
