Linnea Feldman Emison writes about Jeremy Workman and Robert Lyons’s film “Deciding Vote,” which is about George Michaels, a lawmaker who passed a 1970 abortion law.
An earlier version of the bill, co-sponsored by a Democrat and a Republican, had already been defeated, and pressure from constituents and religious groups who opposed the measure was intensifying as the second vote neared. Several Assembly members who had supported the bill told the New York Times that they had been denounced in sermons at their churches as murderers. When the bill returned to the legislature a week later, the proceedings were televised, and it was debated for four hours.
” They decided to make a documentary about him when they realized how little was remembered about his role in the events leading up to Roe. Lyons told me that, when they watched his speech on the Assembly floor, they wanted to “roll it back to figure out how this man got to this moment.
