No segment of the media is free from the single minded obsession with advancing Democrat party politics, even a review of a family friendly movie of an adopted teen survivor of abortion, must be reviewed from the perspective of the Democratic Party Platform rather than as a movie.
MOVIE REVIEW:
Obsessed by the Circumstances of Her Birth
By JEANNETTE CATSOULIS
More slickly packaged than most faith-based fare, “October Baby” gussies up its anti-abortion message with gauzy cinematography and more emo music than an entire season of “Grey’s Anatomy.” But not even a dewy heroine and a youth-friendly vibe can disguise the essential ugliness at its core: like the bloodied placards brandished by demonstrators outside women’s health clinics, the film communicates in the language of guilt and fear.
The guilt is introduced early as 19-year-old Hannah (Rachel Hendrix) is persuaded that her asthma, epilepsy and suicidal tendencies can be traced to her premature birth after a botched abortion. Brattily brushing off her adoptive parents (John Schneider and Jennifer Price), Hannah sets out to find her birth mother armed with a vintage van, a handful of sympathetic sidekicks and the maturity level of a 12-year-old.
But this G-rated road trip is only an appetizer: the film’s pièce de résistance arrives in the haunted form of Jasmine Guy, playing the clinic nurse who assisted at Hannah’s birth. Her pivotal speech, a gory portrait of fetal mutilation and maternal distress, conjures a vision of medical hackery that is clearly intended to terrify young women — and fits right in with proposed state laws that increasingly turn the screws on a woman’s dominion over her reproductive system.
Directed by the brothers Andrew and Jon Erwin, and with an endorsement from the biblical-values promotion machine Concerned Women for America, “October Baby” traffics primarily in soapy melodrama and false compassion.
“Hate the crime, not the criminal,” a friendly police officer advises Hannah. Except that abortion is not a crime, no matter how fervently some people continue to wish that it were.
“October Baby” is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). Family values and Addams family dialogue.
++++++++++++++++++++
This Salon reviewer refuses to even acknowledge the 10s of thousands of abortion survivors as he not only attacks Christians, bit attacks the survivors of abortion as sci/fi fantasy.
"A science-fiction premise fuels a viral-marketed pro-life drama aimed at Christian viewers."
Here is a review from an actual survivor of abortion.

This Salon reviewer refuses to even acknowledge the 10s of thousands of abortion survivors as he not only attacks Christians, bit attacks the survivors of abortion as sci/fi fantasy.
"A science-fiction premise fuels a viral-marketed pro-life drama aimed at Christian viewers."
Excerpt: "The Erwins do not make a scientific case against abortion in this movie, God knows, but rather an emotional, spiritual and perhaps magical one. I use that last adjective advisedly. Hannah is essentially a magical solution to a narrative problem: You could ask for no better twist, in an antiabortion drama, than having an aborted fetus return to life as an adult character (especially a really cute one). But unless you’re going to set the movie in heaven or experiment with complicated alternate-universe theories (which might in themselves raise some theological hackles), that’s tough to pull off."++++++++++++++++++++
Here is a review from an actual survivor of abortion.
Excerpts:"Did you know that based loosely on figures by the Centers for Disease Control, there are an estimated 44,000 abortion survivors in the United States alone? (visit http://realchoice.blogspot.com/2011/10/why-not-ask-people-who-really-know.html for more information on this data).++++++++++++++++++++
Yet abortion providers and supporters routinely attempt to discredit and dismiss stories our lives, our stories on the premise that we “can’t be real,” we “must be lying.” And those are the ones that appropriate for you to read. Many are much more offensive, as you may have read in a recent article posted this week on LifeNews.
Through a new website launched today, www.theabortionsurvivors.com, you will find the most current information that exists about abortion survivors—whether it be statistics, news stories about survivors around the world, testimonies of individuals who wish to remain private yet still have the opportunity to share their story with others, or through the testimony of survivors who are engaged in public ministry, this website is the most comprehensive, up to date site with abortion survivor information.
