October Baby (2011)
1/10
Improbable Premise. Horrible dialogue.

Just terrible. Don't waste your time. I don't care what scientific quote they have from the 80s. Late term abortions are incredibly rare and are usually only the result of danger to the mother's life or horrible disease or malformations of the fetus. These do not result in live births. There have been, literally, 3 or 4 anecdotal cases and those were mostly at the hands of doctors that were not acting ethically or professionally. That being said I can't understand why a fainting spell at a play would engender so much attention and somehow get traced back to this failed abortion attempt. Apparently it wasn't serious enough to keep this woman from a cross country trip without her parents or medical care. This is nothing but a right wing propaganda film. It is implausible and scientifically flawed on all accounts. The only people who could review this movie positively also believe that the world is 6000 years old and that dinosaurs never existed. Maybe the shut in home-schoolers are just impressed by this because they aren't allowed to watch any other movies or television and, as a result, are just happy for an opportunity to see those new fangled moving pictures no matter how bad the script is. :-)
