October Baby (2011)
7/10
Decent Film
24 March 2012
Warning: Spoilers
The premise of this movie is strangely similar to a recent novel, ONLY WOMEN BLEED, by L.J. Rivard. The main character in the novel learns on her twenty-first birthday that she survived abortion as an infant. The novel's main character, Jessica, also was born in October! She goes on a quest to find out the truth about her beginnings, in particular, the woman who aborted her. The book is not preachy at all, like some of the comments others have made about the movie. It's a good read, written by a lawyer, and so I learned a little something about the state of abortion law in this country as a bonus. ONLY WOMEN BLEED is available on amazon.

I thought the movie did a decent job- it's definitely a pro-life message, but I don't know why that has to be such a big turn off even if you happen to be pro-choice. This is America!
