“The film calls for a necessary shift in dialog that looks beyond abortion and focuses on the far-reaching impacts of anti-choice efforts on women who have no intention of ending their pregnancies.” – Jo Ardinger, Director, PERSONHOOD Should the government have the power to override a woman’s constitutional rights during pregnancy? That question is examined in PERSONHOOD, Jo Ardinger’s feature documentary directorial debut.
PERSONHOOD brings the human impact of these policies into the light through the story of Tamara Loertscher, a rural Wisconsin mother who was jailed after telling her doctor about her occasional preconception drug use , placing her pregnancy under the oppressive scrutiny of the state. PERSONHOOD features interviews with leading advocates of women’s reproductive health rights. Lynn Paltrow is the founder of National Advocates for Pregnant Women , an organization that works to ensure that no one loses their constitutional or human rights as a result of pregnancy. Sara Ainsworth is the former Director of Legal Advocacy at NAPW and was part of Tammy’s early legal team.
Editor’s Note: The entire Women You Should Know team remains honored to have worked with Jo Ardinger and Rosalie Miller on the crowdfunding campaign they successfully ran on our sister platform, Women You Should Fund. Their campaign efforts secured them the money they needed to finish PERSONHOOD, an incredibly powerful film that everyone MUST see so its change-making impact can be far-reaching. They are women and filmmakers we are so proud to know.
