No One Asked You

This is such an important documentary! These clinics need our support. Providers are critical to keeping pregnant people in good health for as long as they want to be pregnant. Abortions are not the only services that clinics provide - they contribute to the overall health of the communities they exist in and should be protected. As someone who has witnessed protesters first-hand, they do their best to shock and to frighten patients. I hope that everyone can agree that no one should be harassed when seeking care. Thank you to the folks who do this work day in and day out, and thank you to the makers of this film!

No One Asked You stars Lizz Winstead, the co-creator of The Daily Show, and is a call to action to support women's rights after SCOTUS cut those rights to shreds in 2022 with the elimination of Roe Vs. Wade. It's also an outright demand that media stop shirking their responsibility and start covering women's health issues.

The film is a tragicomedy. On the one hand, well-known comedians like Margaret Cho, Sarah Silverman and more, hilariously take the stage in various cities for the Vaginal Mystery Tour to help raise money which will, though the Abortion Access Front, provide health care to U. S. women in Republican states whose cities have become medical deserts. There is no health care in those cities; the only option for medical assistance is driving hours across borders.

The other part of the film takes us into the clinics that are on the front lines of the battle. We meet the healthcare workers and doctors who are now unable to continue providing medical care to their patients. Whose budgets have been slashed. Who fight the lies being pushed by the religious right regarding choice. Whose clients are forced to pass through rows of men armed with placards and bullhorns, proselytizing about nothing that should concern them, just to see their doctor. We hear from pregnant women who have been coerced into entering facilities under the guise of 'medical offices' when, in fact, there are no medical personnel in attendance, but only staffers with pamphlets.

If you're sitting by and watching your rights being taken, and remaining silent, you're going to be complicit in your own enslavement. No One Asked You uses humor as a temporary balm for what has become a deadly serious issue in America. The doc was recently picked up by Jolt Film, to be made available to a wider audience.
