Pre-Roe Newspaper Suit

A womens suit, printed with real newspaper articles from Pre-Roe v Wade America, of women who died getting literal back alley-abortions when abortion was illegal - including a women's real death certificate printed on the back. Doctors who were arrested for performing abortions, and the story of one woman who was arraigned from her hospital bed for receiving an abortion. A story of a wife and husband who were both arrested and charged together for receiving a then-illegal abortion. The front leg features a section of a page from a real newspaper which reported on a doctor being charged for performing an abortion procedure, and a man being charged for sitting on a segregated bus beside a black man - on the same day.
 
The lapel features a portrait of an image of the coffin Dr. David Gunn, a Tennessee doctor who was assassinated for performing abortions, mugshots of The Janes - who ran an underground abortion network in Pre-Roe Chicago, Françoise - the leader of an underground abortion network across pre-legal abortion Europe, and Jane Roe. (Each suit has a different lapel image).
 
Made in collaboration with Producer/Director/Actress Miranda Bailey (God's Country, Super, Swiss Army Man, Squid And The Whale).
