Unborn in the USA: Inside the War on Abortion

I'm pro-choice and always will be. But watching this film opened my eyes in various ways. I never really took notice, let alone wonder why, certain organizations would flock to college campuses other than to push their beliefs to others. Now I know that although people think they are not influenced by such slogans and propagandas, underneath it all, they are affected one way or another. That's the dangerous thing about our visual-driven society: Images are almost always more powerful than anything else. I like how this film tried to present both sides of the issues. Even though most people say this film does not take sides, I think it ultimately does. I think it supports pro-choice because I feel like they presented more ugliness from the pro-life side. Still, I could be wrong. There were a few highlights in the film and I want to point some of them out: the authentic dead baby fetus scene, the first few minutes when the girl says she was raped and that's why she supports abortion, and the last few minutes where a woman and a man punched each other's faces off because they greatly disagreed on the issue. The next time organizations (pro-life and others unrelated to abortion) gather at my school, I'll be more aware of their agendas and HOW they are pushing their agendas. This is a smart movie and it deserves a second viewing.
