I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

The woman at the end made an excellent remark "whos going to take care of these children" the same thing being said the same thing being pictured, there not getting it...without Free Will there is No god...its like they keep doing the same thing over and over expecting different (crazy).An idea that i guarantee would work, Work on what would happen to these unwanted children when they are born, we have so many already, work on the answer to the unwanted children, im sure god is asking., work at a different angle instead of, good lord this same old thing. The church should also be something you can trust and that is not true anymore. How dare the preacher hit back, this woman, He appeared soo small in many eyes and lost support for such., while holding a child. This man called her something terrible and no she should not have slapped him, but he (a man?) did not handle that right, These supporters of pro life truly need to go about it at a different angle...Change peoples views with a different angle.!!

One viewer argued that the filmmakers have a pro-choice bias because they filled 2 percent of the screen time with the black-and-white factoids, including one that represented the medical community's position that abortion and breast cancer are not linked. Another viewer implied that this film is pro-life because it focused almost entirely on pro-lifers.I think both viewers are wrong and I think trying to figure out whether the filmmakers are biased or trying to manipulate us is a waste of time. Ninety percent of the movie is footage of pro-lifers in action and pro-lifers discussing their work in their own words. That's pretty much exactly what the movie promised at the outset. If the film had teased "a complete, thorough, and balanced look at the abortion debate," then you could accuse the filmmakers of pro-life bias. But it didn't do that.

In response to a previous offering 'How many of the zealots protesting abortion have taken a child from a stopped abortion into their family? Probably few.It is hypocritical to encourage these babies to be born and not participate in the support of them.'Are you using the lack of support anti-abortionists offer to full term babies as justification for killing them? It is hard to interpret it any other way.Does 'probably few'mean you don't know? Wouldn't it make more sense to check on how many people would love to adopt a baby before offering a reason that isn't? Would 'discussion of over-population' perhaps be more appropriately a forum for problems in the customs of third world countries and the worlds unfair and uncaring distribution of wealth? Isn't man's contribution to global warming a problem based on greed, distribution of wealth yet again, and how we acquire what we need rather than anything to do with abortion? For those of us who feel life begins when a baby is conceived and detest the justification of abortion on anything other than danger to the health of the mother to be called 'zealots', a word adopted to derogatorily describe this point of view, offers an insult veiled within a statement. From the comments you offer, I can't possibly imagine a film of this subject and title, introducing so many issues having nothing to do with what it seems to be about. Your arguments make little sense and are so scattered and disjointed you really must have written your comments in a haze of preconception without much thought or consideration. Please apply love to a position or else these kinds of comments might be the death of, literally, another person's opportunity to affect positive change and not destruction.

For a film that I thought was supposed to reflect more of the pro-choice position, this film lends most of the screen time to comments from anti-choice activists. I suppose one is left to see the weakness in the anti-choice positions. Some strong arguments in favor of choice would have made it a better film.> How many of the zealots protesting abortion have taken a child from a stopped abortion into their family? Probably few. It is hypocritical to encourage these babies to be born and not participate in the support of them.> Some discussion of over-population and global warming would have been helpful.> For those of us who feel life begins only when a fetus is viable outside this womb would have liked that position to have been presented.> Some argument as to why late term abortions are sometimes medically necessary would have been helpful.If you are pro-choice, you may find much of this film lacking.
