Synopsis
64,565. This is the number of pregnancies resulting from rape in the 14 states that banned abortion in 2022, even in cases of non-consensual sex. To this day, no one knows how many children have been born under such circumstances. But two years later, the right to abortion continues to divide America. It remains a central issue in the campaign of Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.
By meeting a woman who became a mother against her will, healthcare professionals, and anti-abortion activists, this documentary tells the story of two Americas locked in a battle, with abortion rights at the heart of the presidential election. It also reveals, for the first time, that behind some anti-abortion beliefs lies a business empire.
