To: It's me
I see abortion as black and white. I've pondered the question for decades now. There is no argument for myself as I am firmly Christian.

Having said all that, I understand that abortion as a reality can be tempting, as all sin is. When your faith is tested, as all faith is, will you pass the test or fail as so many do. If the girl chooses life, she chose correctly and the movie could be an eye opener for someone having to face the grim realities of life. If she chose abortion, I pray for the film that shows the grim reality of the deed on the mother.

If you notice, the only thing we aren't able to see, ANYWHERE, is abortion. Not on Discovery channel, the web, nowhere. The suicides, divorces, torment, drug addiction, and mental depression caused by the realization that you murdered your own child hits every woman sooner or later. It's hard to see that coming when you are 15 and the world is saying it's OK.

I have no clue if the movie is bad or good, but I think the subject deserves a closer look since 40, million abortions have been performed in the US since Roe vs. Wade. Even "Roe" changed her mind. It's like being a German and forbidding any discussion of the Holocaust.

Making a movie about abortion doesn't require an approval from the Vatican, but it should be truthful and reflect reality, not propaganda. After 40 years of abortions, all of us have our own tales of someone we know or that is in our own family that can attest to the truth. I don't think that's propaganda. Some of my in-laws and some of my family's friends can all tell of how they regret their decisions in some way or another. It has caused alcoholism, drug addiction, divorces, and even suicide in my own extended family circle. It has also caused women to seek forgiveness, and repentance and brought them to Jesus Christ as Saviour. I'm sure if I had the talent, I could get 2 or 3 movies out of the experiences I've seen in my lifetime. Praise God, I have been able to reach my own conclusions about abortion from observing others pain. When you finally find out that children are a gift from God that are on loan to you, you tend to respect their lives as individuals and not property. God wants to know what you will do with a gift He gives you and puts you in charge of. If you kill your children, why would you expect another blessing form Him?

PS. This also goes for the parents that abuse them, beat them, and molest them. God is watching. If having a child doesn't change you in a positive way, there is something not human about you.
