My wife and I went last night. I found it to be a powerful movie driven by the right to life argument, but was sympathetic to pro life persons. For example in one scene the lead "Abby" was put off by a woman's "git 'er done" attitude, but the movie did not criticize or focus on her. True, teens and young women who had unplanned pregnancies were run though like cattle, yet they were treated sympathetically at the same time. IMO, the movie focused on the lack of informed consent. The central message was the salesmanship used by PP to prevent any of these women from changing their minds. Much like a time share presentation.
Although my wife I are both against abortion, we look at it differently. My take a way is that as gruesome and disgusting as abortion is, the alteration of one's trajectory in life may be a valid consideration. And if you are a participant in a Christian culture, forgiveness is central. And if you aren't you can still forgive yourself. The biggest variable is how you feel about what you have done. Some just move on, some are traumatized, and the rest are somewhere in the middle. Time does heal all wounds.
I would encourage men and women, particularly the younger crowd to see the movie more as a precaution to not get someone pregnant. You can't unsee the ultrasound of the abortion. Men often take advantage of humanity's sex drive and practice unsafe sex with no clue as to the burden a woman may have to face by trusting him. It's her responsibility to look out for herself and make her own decisions on the use of effective birth control.
There was also a segment of the abortifacient, RU-486. Assuming the scene was relatively accurate, I had no idea how rough that was. Not quite easy peasy like we have been led to believe.
Cheers.
