October Baby tackles the controversial and emotionally charged topic of abortion. We follow the life of a college girl who finds out her life is not what she thought it was. Eventually she finds out that she was adopted and goes on a search to uncover her secret history.
The message of the movie is that all life is precious. It definitely conveys a pro-life stance in the abortion debate. A nurse talks about the horrors of working in an abortion clinic and is motivated to change fields into baby delivery at the hospital. The college girl is also told that she was her adoptive parents' miracle.
Being someone who is pro-life I loved the message. For me the message is a ten. The movie however is only a six. It was slow and plodding much of the way through. A few twists and turns helped to make it an enjoyable watch but nothing draws me in for a second viewing.
