You're listening to Comedy Central.

Ow!

Hey, you have such an excellent audience.

Elizabeth, they're wonderful on this. Welcome to the Daily Show.

Thank you. Thanks for having me.

And congratulations on creating what I think everyone is going to enjoy

as not just a heartfelt film, but a film that, in more ways than most,

feels completely apt for these times.

My character, Jay, Joy, seeks out an abortion when her life is in danger,

and it's life or death for her.

And this is a woman who never thought she'd seek out abortion care.

Right.

And when she gets there, it's in 1968.

Chicago abortion is illegal.

This is pre-ro versus Wade.

And she meets a collective of women called the James.

These are real life women.

The story is based on a real life group, a Jane collective of Chicago

who provided abortion care, abortion health care, to nearly 11,000 women

in the late 60s before abortion was legal in Illinois and Chicago.

It's a story about bravery in the face of everything that stands against you,

because in the story, we meet a woman who's living like a cookie cutter life.
