Mike & I went to see October Baby this past week-end. I really would like to recommend it to everyone.
The movie deals with the issue of abortion. It could've been made in a very judgmental tone, in a way that would cause even more harm. I don't think it did that, though. Yes, it is most definitely a pro-life film. However, I believe it is also tenderly trying to tell women who have already aborted that they are loved and forgiveness is available to them.
I don't want to tell you the whole film but a part that blew me away was actually a clip shown after the movie was over. It is an interview with the actress that played the abortive mother. As it turns out, she had a secret of her own and she found healing from this movie herself. Here's that clip...
