ll remains to be a deep division between pro-life and pro-choice protesters. In this part of the movie Anne Heche plays "Christine", a young adult who got pregnant by a married man. She visits an abortion clinic to see what her options are. She is confronted by Catholic pro-life protesters who persuade her not to get the abortion. However, with much thought, Christine decides to return to the clinic to terminate her pregnancy. The story ends when a protester who pretends to be a concerned boyfriend, shoots the doctor who executes the abortions. This film touches the various reasons why women choose to have an abortion. However, they all are reasons that a liberal would consider as sufficient. Seeing how the disagreement has been altered during the years, helped me to understand where both the liberals and conservatives come from. In the movie, the reasons for having an abortion included wanting a career, being unmarried, and the rare case that Demi Moore was in. Although conservatives would argue that those are ludicrous reasons, I feel that a woman has the right to choose whether she wants an abortion or not, and the reason she chooses is suitable enough.Abortion will continue to be debated for the next years to come. Until the day when scientists can prove that a fetus is a real actual being from the time of conception, the fight will continue. The Roe v. Wade law, will be the point of focus during all the abortion drama, and that will be the way that people remember why we are fighting about it in the first place. As of today, it is legal to get an abortion, and after watching the movie I would like for it to remain that way. The fact that women have died from getting illegal abortions is a startling thought, and I wouldn't want to see those days come back again....
