Has anyone had a chance to see Midwife on PBS on Sunday? [View all]

What a powerful show this past Sunday on a reason for birth control. A woman who was married already at 8 children. Her 8 child was still in a pram less then a yr old. She finds herself pregnant again and of course the system won't allow her to a have abortion or even let her get her tubes tied. So she goes about trying to abort the baby on her own. She ends up going to a woman who helped her but she nearly died. In the end she did lose the baby and will never have anymore. I tell you it was so powerful in that it shows women no matter what will do anything to abort a child and they think very hard about it before they end up doing it. If you haven't seen the show try looking in on Sunday or even online at PBS. It takes place in the 50s right before the birth control pill comes to women.
