“Paper Abortion” – National Center for Men (original) (raw)

NCM is currently partnering with a UK film company and director, Lisa Downs, to produce a documentary film about men’s reproductive rights. Our working title is “Paper Abortion.” Filming in the United States began in December of 2019 but was suspended in March of 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic…

Important Update for the Fall of 2025: Here We Go!

After more than three and a half years of shooting in the field and several Covid related delays, we have finally completed filming and are now turning a couple hundred hours of unedited video into a documentary film. The teaser, which is intended to create interest in the film, is now available for you to view on Vimeo. You can view the teaser by clicking on the link at the end of this page. If you watch it, please take the time to post your comments, suggestions and opinions. We will refer to your comments as we complete the editing of our film.

As of November, 2025 our film is now at the proper running-time for a full-length documentary, but requires further formatting. The making of this film has been extremely tedious but we are determined to get it done and get it done right. We want it to reflect well on the entire men’s movement, so thank you for your patience.

We will use this space to post photos, summaries, video excerpts and updates on the filming and production of “Paper Abortion.”

Director Lisa Downs interviews Matt Dubay’s mom, Dianne Jahr, in her Michigan home. Dianne gave a powerful, personal account of Matt’s ordeal of forced fatherhood and as well as his experience as the plaintiff in “Roe vs. Wade for Men.”

We can tell you that the interviews we have conducted have been intense and highly emotional. The interviewees, all NCM clients, have been incredibly articulate. Their stories are compelling. The director, Lisa Downs, is an accomplished filmmaker and is doing a fabulous job. We are all optimistic that we are making what will become an important and persuasive film.

Brooklyn, NY: Lisa speaks with an NCM client being forced into fatherhood and fighting back for equal choice. A brutally honest and emotional interview.
