Abstract
In 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, triggering widespread controversy in the United States and around the
world. As one of the most controversial abortion cases in American history, Roe v. Wade marked the historical process of the power and constitutionalization of abortion issues on a global scale, and became a symbol of abortion freedom in social movements and political debates in
many countries.[1] Abortion rights have become a core issue of feminism and women’s rights, and the re-examination of Roe v. Wade high_x005flights the complexity of this issue in patriarchal ideology and political struggles, reflecting the fierce conflict between judicial decisions and
values and beliefs. re-mold. In recent years, there has been a surge in the number of works directed by female directors, which have frequently won awards at major film festivals, showing women’s struggles and demands and subverting traditional gender images. While revealing
gender inequality, it also pays attention to individual differences within genders, presents their real living conditions, and faces the struggles
in the shadows. The discussion of women’s control over their body autonomy has become an important issue. The film “It’s Happening” (2021),
which won the Golden Lion Award in 2021, is a work that focuses on women’s abortion experience.
