Diana Whitten, the film’s director and producer who spoke with me by phone from a screening in Vermont, told me that, while it’s not in anyone’s best interest to break the law, “laws never prevent abortion.” “They never have, and they never will. All they prevent is safe abortion,” she said. Women on Waves, she added, will never bring “abortion to these countries - it’s already there.” It’s just illegal.
