When Eva unexpectedly becomes pregnant during a summer of excessive drinking, she decides abortion is the right choice. Despite being adamantly pro-choice, the experience leaves her grieving. On her 24th birthday, the day after the procedure, she’s gifted a spiritual experience and temporary balm for the grief; a Prince concert.
I get to be adamantly pro-choice, mourn my loss, and be grateful for my decision all at the same time.
