    Your standard pro-life scare tactic film.
    This short film, is everything wrong with extreme pro-life propaganda. It puts forth standard scare tactics and misapplies scientific fact (and often enough mis-interprets if not outright lies about scientific fact) all in the name of "protecting the unborn"

    I could spend a lot of time talking about the medical inaccuracies, or the deliberate falsehoods or the misleading editing in this film, but it would probably be simpler to advise people who wish to watch this film to look it up themselves, it's not hard to find technical criticisms of this film in a quick google search.

    This is a film that likely is only popular with very poorly educated Pro-life extremists, as it is not factually accurate, nuanced, or even honest about the message it portrays.

    Which is a problem, because the current body of research on the opinions of US citizens in regards to abortion, indicates that most of us have nuanced opinions on the matter of abortion, and are entirely willing to see the complexities and "shades of grey" on this very serious, very heart-rending issue.

    If you are looking for a film that advances the discussion on abortion in a helpful manner, look elsewhere
