YOU'RE INVITED TO A BENEFIT SCREENING OF
"THE ABORTION DIARIES"
A documentary by Penny Lane

Thursday May 3, 2007 at 7:00 p.m.
First Unitarian Church of Rochester
220 South Winton Road

The Reproductive Rights Task Force of the First Unitarian Church
of Rochester and Planned Parenthood of the Rochester/Syracuse
Region present "The Abortion Diaries" by Penny Lane, a
documentary and discussion to follow.

"The Abortion Diaries" is a documentary featuring 12 women who
speak candidly about their experiences with abortion. The women
are doctors, subway workers, artists, activists, military
personnel, teachers and students; they are Black, Latina, Jewish
and White; they are mothers or child-free; they range in age
from 19 to 54. Their stories weave together with the filmmaker's
diary entries to present a compelling, moving and at times
surprisingly funny "dinner party" where the audience is invited
to hear what women say behind closed doors about motherhood,
medical technology, sex, spirituality, love, work and their own
bodies.

Tickets (available at the door) are $10, $20 or $40 and all
proceed go to the Women?s Health Compassion Fund at Strong
Memorial Hospital, which supports women accessing abortion care
with coverage of travel and lodging expenses. A $10 ticket
covers one woman's taxi ride, a $20 ticket covers her round
trip taxi ride, a $40 ticket covers her round trip bus fare or
one night in a hotel.

fund, please send checks with the comment "Women's Health
