Thanks for this. I don’t go to the movies often, but I’d like to make time for this.
Art imitates life.
This is an exact description of one of my sisters-in-law and her daughter (my niece). SIL got pregnant (unmarried). Of course the guy she was shacking with had told her he planned to divorce his wife and marry SIL. And also of course, once he found SIL was pregnant, he suddenly found that he "just couldn't leave his wife" who he had also gotten pregnant at the same time. But SIL kept the baby.
Fast forward a few years. SIL's daughter, now in high school, despite knowing how hard her mother has had it as a single mom, fails to "hold the aspirin" and ends up preggers. But she also kept her baby.
Neither of them ever went on welfare, used food stamps, or any other taxpayer paid charity, though SIL has, on occasion, accepted some cash gifts from the wife and I when things "got complicated" with additional unexpected expenses.
They did some stupid things, but they also "did the right thing" when it counted.
God bless both of them.
Bravo !

What’s that ???
When I was looking at the national day of prayer site this trailer came up under Hollywood Christians. I could not skip ad, but could not, so I watched the trailer. Looks really good.

God works in wonderful ways.
Krauss wasn’t the only one who was inspired. Fraser asked to be in the movie after reading the script and spent time in the shelters with the mothers and babies. On the last day of shooting, Krauss said Fraser “quietly told Kathy that he was donating his salary to the shelter, so he actually did the movie for nothing. It was a complete surprise to all of us.”
That’s refreshing. I’ve stopped watching TV shows that celebrated abortion, and I will not watch a movie that promotes abortion.
Pro-abortion women make the choice when they have intercourse without using birth control. They know at that time what is very likely to happen. They make that choice because it is (unfortunately) way too easy to get an abortion. There is no reason to celebrate that “choice”, which is basically a celebration of selfish immature irresponsibility. It’s nice to see a movie that shows a girl trying to be responsible (even if she wasn’t entirely responsible about avoiding pregnancy).
Surprised Hudgens didn’t have one in real life. Wasn’t she caught sending a full nude selfie of herself to her “boyfriend” when she was around 16-17? Loose morals there.
