Highly recommend Call the Midwife season 2 episode 2.5 on Netflix

IMDb: Call the Midwife: Episode #2.5

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2506248/

A poor mother of 8 in 1950s London gets pregnant for the ninth time. Emotionally charged but calmly discussed by practical and caring people in charge.

Highly recommend watching in this time post Roe V Wade. WE NEED LEGISLATION PROTECTING OUR BODIES AND OUR FREEDOM. AND CONSIDER THE MOTHERLESS CHILDREN.

But in these depressing and dangerous times it acts as a Catharsis. It actually helps wash away my anger as I try to sleep.

(Catharsis is the purification and purgation of emotions through dramatic art, or it may be any extreme emotional state that results in renewal and restoration)
