Writing a paper about the theme of abortion in film. I have a few movies that come to mind, but if you can think of some more that would be great!
Have:
Dirty Dancing
Cider House Rules
Vera Drake
If These Walls Could Talk
I appreciate any brainstorming!

The Story of Women by Claude Chabrol - a French woman performed over 23 abortions and got the death penalty to be made an example of
Occasional Work of a Female Slave by Alexander Kluge - it features a real abortion. This director is obscure and it's extremely hard to find his movies.
Ten things you can tell just by looking at her - the holly hunter character
Another Woman by Woody Allen - the 50+ year old woman regretted having no children and having an abortion, her chance at having a child.
Manhattan Murder Mystery by Woody Allen - at the end a woman is talking to the Woody Allen character about her 4 abortions. it is not a theme, just mentioned in passing, but is meant to be exaggerated I think.

Une Affaire de Femmes, about a woman who was an illegal abortionist in France in the 1940s, where she performed an abortion on herself, and then carried out the operation for other women in secrecy. Played by Isabelle Huppert, and very realistic. (Thumbs Up! has given the English title.)
