About the Project
WINNER 2023 UNITED SOLO FESTIVAL “BEST STORYTELLER”
Jessica is a middle aged, middle income, mostly average white lady, who has had abortions. And those abortions led her to study the history of abortion in the United States, because she’s a bit of a nerd. And then she wrote a really big play about Ann Lohman- an Abortionist in the 1800’s and all around badass! And she thought that the abortion chapter of her life was closed, she was almost menopausal after all…But then came Dobbs. And then 2024…. And Jessica realized that having written a play about the history of legal abortion in the United States made her an expert in a niche part of legal history that is now very important.

“Thoughtful and Empathetic…. Very Funny”
"Bashline is fiercely and personally invested in the current fight for reproductive rights in the U.S. In this play, she brings undeniable evidence that the history of legislating reproduction is based on financial and political control and men’s desire to maintain dominance over women’s health and healthcare providers.”
