      Inspired by the true story of Gianna Jessen, who survived a saline abortion in California in 1977.
    • Goofs
      When Jason is packing his clothes in the hotel before leaving New Orleans, he is speaking to Alanna, and the same shot is shown twice of him picking up a pile of clothes that includes a red, gray and white striped shirt. He picks the pile up, puts it in his bag, another angle is shown and then he is shown picking up the exact same pile from the same spot and putting it in his bag again.
    • Quotes

      Hannah: I feel dead inside.

      Hannah: No something worse than death.

      Hannah: I am still a child, a child trying to find a place on this world.

      Hannah: I have so many unanswered questions, questions I feel but can't even begin to speak because there are no words to express them.

      Hannah: Something is missing.

      Hannah: Why do I feel unwanted?

      Hannah: Why do I feel I have no right to exist?

      Hannah: Why do I spend more time wanting to end my life than live it?

    • Crazy credits
      Over the closing credits, actress Shari Rigby (who played birth mother Cindy Hastings) shared the trauma she felt after aborting her child, not unlike the way her character behaved, and how she finally felt God's forgiveness while playing this role.

    We care!
    There are so many people in deep emotional pain. This movie heals and gives us hope with humor and gentleness. I recommend it to everyone. Even though we aren't all going through the same thing as the main characters in the movie, the under lying messages apply to us all and are very helpful.

    The trailer caused me to expect a mostly heavy painful story line but I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of well done comedy that caused the teens in my house to quote lines in the movie through out the week just for fun.

    The photography was some of the best I've ever seen. It had a way of telling the story, almost making the words unnecessary.

    The best part of "October Baby" to me is it's ability to touch so many deeply painful subjects without vilifying anyone and still be very believable.
