Y'a qu'à pas baiser (1971)

Made when abortion was still illegal in France, Just Don’t Fuck irreverently alternates images from the first feminist demonstrations in favour of abortion and the images of an illegal abortion using the Karman method, as well as conversations and TV footage.
Courageously made at a time when abortion was illegal in France, this video re-appropriates the structure of conservative TV news. By capturing women’s rights protests alongside a clandestine abortion, Roussopoulos renders such procedures not as isolated incidents but rather a collective exigency.
