More often remembered for its dancing, and the overwhelming charisma of Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, it might be sometimes forgotten that Emile Ardolino’s 1987 slumber party staple “Dirty Dancing” is an abortion story at its core. Set in 1963, prior to Roe, one of the characters (Cynthia Rhodes) seeks an abortion that goes hideously awry. There is talk of a rusty blade. Ultimately, it will be Grey’s character’s father (Jerry Orbach), a doctor, who will have to step in to help. The thing Orbach is angriest about is the lying. He naturally aids the Rhodes character, and doesn’t seem to be at all taken aback by abortion existing.
Abortion, “Dirty Dancing” seems to be pointing out, was once a sordid, secret thing that had to be done illegally and on the sly. Since the film was made in 1987, and it depicts abortion as being just something that happens from time to time — only stymied by old laws — it is inherently a pro-abortion film. Now that it’s taken care of, we can dance our hearts out.
“Dirty Dancing” is available on Fubo, Sling, and several other streaming services.
