historical climate within which these
representations
are produced. However this does not mean that

and
religious discourse at the time of the films
productions. The Abortion Issue in American Film:
1900-2000 explores how these external discourses
shift and change the representation of several key
figures in the story of abortion: The Patient, The
Abortion Provider, and The Male Partner. These
characters are traced and placed in context
starting
from 1916 through 2000, choosing key films to
analyze
the changes in representation and their
relationships
with American values, morals, medicine and
politics
through the decades.
