Jennifer Grey is opening up about her own experience with abortion.
Grey also discussed the iconic abortion storyline in"Dirty Dancing," and why it's so pivotal — both then and now.
"We saw someone who was hemorrhaging," she said."We saw what happens to people without means — the haves and the have nots."In the 1987 film, a dancer named Penny who works at the resort Grey's character — Frances"Baby" Houseman — and her family are staying, finds out she's unexpectedly pregnant and obtains an illegal abortion. To pay for the"back alley procedure," Baby takes money from her father without his knowledge.
After Penny has the abortion, she experiences a potentially life-threatening complication and, only with the help of Baby's father, a physician, is able to recover. "I love that part of the storyline because it was really a feminist movie in a rom-com," Grey said."It was a perfect use of history.” Grey told the magazine that"even though I've seen it coming, even though we've been hearing what's coming," the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe"doesn't feel real."She also said the Court's decision"is sounding a bell for all women to rise up and use their voice now because we have assumed, since 1973, that our choice was safe and that it was never going to be overturned.
