UNBORN IN THE U.S.A.: Inside the War on Abortion


Does this guy look scary to you? Could you imagine him going wacko and tagging abortionists outside Planned Parenthood? Well, he's actually an American that is pro-choice. Are you asking yourself what could get this guy so upset? I just watched a documentary that will show what would. This documentary shows that pro-lifers have upped the anti in the war on abortion and tries to persuade you to believe that the law will be overturned rather soon. Talk about scary...

I watched it last night and it was very interesting. It brought me up to speed with the subject of abortion from the pro-life point of view. It was called Unborn in the USA: Inside the War on Abortion, and I would recommend that everyone see it regardless of how you feel on the issue. I am pro-choice, and this documentary made me question how I feel some, but overall, I can not be influenced to change how I feel about abortion. Even though the pro-lifers estimated that 50 million fetuses have been aborted over the past 30 years.

To protect all women's right to privacy, I see that power to kill a fetus as something that has to live with the mother due to the dangers outlined the book
The Handmaid's Tale. For you non-readers, there is also a movie. The truth of matter is that we cannot allow the laws of the land to transform women into mere law-bound procreators. We have come too far in our history to put that kind of handcuff on every female American.

But anyway, this documentary is worth the watch. Great representation of the polarization of the nation.
