A woman in her 30s

gets an abortion

on the day that Roe v.

Wade is overturned…

&

She and her best friend

are guilted into attending

an impromptu

engagement party…

SYNOPSIS

Eeva wakes up from her abortion to the dystopian reality of a world suddenly post Roe. Also, the penis behind her pregnancy (Mel) makes a last minute decision to show up to the clinic with “exactly half” of the abortion cost. Ugh but he is so hot…

Fortunately her best friend, Baby, is waiting for her. Unfortunately Baby’s developed an obsession with a soap opera that’s on in the clinic waiting room—this may or *may not* be a product of Baby’s compartmentalization of her own abortion from a year ago…which is totally fine. Until characters from the show start showing up in the apartment.

And then they go to a birthday party that turns into an engagement party and Mel shows up and well, shit hits the fan.

Surreal, funny and sincere, Rabbit Rabbit is based on our own abortion experiences. It's also about the friendships that keep us sane as our reproductive rights are being stripped away.
