Reclaiming Our Children: A Blog About Healing After Abortion

"The “comedy” makes a joke out of women who go through a difficult decision to abort and ignores regrets of women who do."

LifeNews has a review of the film Obvious Child today. I was thinking of going to see it but the more I read about it the more I am convienced that it is just another attempt to distigmatize abortion.

When are they going to realize that all the movies, articles, etc, in the world will not do that.

Of course, abortion is portrayed in this "romantic comedy" as no big deal. Tell that to the thousand of people we have seen throughout the years.

Anyway, here it is:

I Saw The “Abortion Comedy” “Obvious Child:” Still Nothing Funny About Killing a Baby

Yes, I saw it.

When “Obvious Child” hit theaters this month, conservatives were aghast the media glorified it – without irony – as an “abortion romantic comedy.” Liberals lashed back, claiming, like the movie’s Director Gillian Robespierre, that “[Conservatives bashing Obvious Child] haven’t seen the movie; they’re basing it on articles and trailers.”

That defense is bogus. We are, after all, talking about the destruction of innocent human life – something nearly impossible to contextualize and utterly repulsive as a romantic comedy plot device.

Still, I decided to play along.

After watching “Obvious Child” last week, I’m only more determined to continue my “bashing.” The difference is I sat through a lot of crude sex jokes. From comparing an abortion to a “drive-through” or a DMV visit to concocting a plot where every main female character aborted a baby at some point, the film sets out to normalize abortion as a part of everyday life. “Obvious Child” is in the end little more than slick pro-abortion agitprop.
