Vera Drake and Prison

[afcjan]

I watched the film Vera Drake last night. it was a really good film, I know it wasnt a true story but do you think she would have gone to prison if she had done the same thing today. She was only trying to help even tho it was the wrong thing to do.

do you think she would have got prosecuted today or been referred to social workers or whatever it is they do to people today.

it's always good to let the opposition have a bit of false hope - how many points in front now?

[craft1948]

hello knobby - have you posted on the wrong thread - AGAIN?

Back to the main question. I think this WAS based on a true story. It wouldn't have happened today as it is easy to get an abortion openly and safely.

[craft1948]

Totterdown is quite right - but I thought the film very sad and probably quite symptomatic of the times.

it was a true story based on a women who did it as shown,many women in those days had it done ,back street style.
