1991, 28 minutes, Color, VHS
Order No. W99018
This empowering videotape addresses cutbacks in women's reproductive freedom and civil rights against the backdrop of Operation Rescue's religious anti-abortion fervor. Produced by ReproVision, the media collective of WHAM (Women's Health Action Mobilization), this tape represents three years of documenting reproductive rights direct actions as well as attacks by the anti-choice movement. Fast-moving yet analytical, the tape covers the gag rule, parental consent laws, the Webster decision, and menstrual extraction. A call to action in the face of the current healthcare crisis, ACCESS DENIED documents growing community activism around AIDS, reproductive rights and racism.
