Vera Drake Part 6

Vera Drake is a selfless woman who is completely devoted to, and loved by, her working class family. She spends her days doting on them and caring for her sick neighbor and elderly mother. However, she also secretly visits women and helps them induce miscarriages for unwanted pregnancies. While the practice itself was illegal in 1950s England, Vera sees herself as simply helping women in need, and always does so with a smile and kind words of encouragement. When the authorities finally find her out, Vera's world and family life rapidly unravel.

I've said it already and I'll say it again the woman who had the affair was in a terrible a state and where was the man!? In the pub unaware of what was happening. It's still happening today! Abortion is never an easy choice for any woman. People need to think harder than the word 'slut'. No one knows a persons life except the person. I feel for anyone in pain or in a difficult position in life after all... we all make mistakes!!

If you look on it like this... A doctor or nurse was involved in performing an abortion they would not comfort a patient as a friend would. She was there to provide a service. She was kindly and helpful. I totally get where you are coming from but even today nurses are not allowed to cuddle patients.

What an ungrateful bitch that last woman ...."Oh you are done already, but you just used a bit of water"..."You have to come back, yes?" "What if something goes wrong" "What do you mean come away" SHUT UP you stupid ass....she has done this before!! What do you know! Obviously not a damn thing! I wish she would have died and then vera drake could have helped other women but this cranky bitch had a chip on her shoulder and was just out to get her! Im sorry that she lived the nasty bitch! UGH!!

Birth, if we're going by medical terminology. Why the insistence on semantics?

[cardigan3000]

@loner1878 when exactly do they become babies then?

[loner1878]

@cardigan3000

Pre fetal cell clumps hardly qualify as "babies."

[cardigan3000]

@loner1878 tell that to all the murdered babies

You're an idiot. Women like Vera Drake were heroes.

@ruzbehan She's painfully shy......but, she has her mother's sweetness. I feel She and Reg are well matched.

I've never met an abortionist that is like Vera Drake. All I've met are Lily personality types.
