(Jill Stanek fought to stop "live-birth abortion" after witnessing one as a registered nurse at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Ill. In 2002, President Bush asked Jill to attend his signing of the Born Alive Infants Protection Act. In January 2003, World Magazine named Jill one of the 30 most prominent pro-life leaders of the past 30 years. To learn more, visit Jill's blog, Pro-life Pulse.)
New pro-life films shine
Many excellent pro-life movies and documentaries have been recently released covering a wide spectrum of our issues. In fact, the movies seem to be coming so fast I have delayed posting this column several weeks to try to catch the latest. Even last week I read of one more but have to draw the line somewhere.
My star rating is out of four possible. Because of the volume, I am providing thumbnail reviews. Films are listed in alphabetical order.
22 Weeks
Stars: 3-1/2
Released Winter 2009. 28 minutes. Docudrama. Winner 2009 Excellence in Media Angel Award. Synopsis: Tells true story of April 2005 late-term abortion in Orlando, Fla., where baby survived but was denied help by clinic
workers despite pleas from mother. Not rated, but I'd consider it PG13 for disturbing scenes. Could have been tightened, just a little. Previously covered by WorldNetDaily.com. $10 online.
Come What May
Stars: 2-1/2
Released Spring 2009. Dove-family approved. 93 minutes. Fiction. Synopsis: Pro-life college law student argues against Roe v. Wade in "moot court" while pro-abortion mother argues against parental notification before the U.S. Supreme Court. Patrick Henry College student production (and school infomercial) – impressive in that regard but not up to Hollywood standards. Good information on Roe v. Wade decision; good love story role modeling. $10-15 online. Purchase "Come What May" at the WND SuperStore.
Demographic Winter
Stars: 4
Released Spring 2008. 56 minutes. Documentary. Synopsis: Details the catastrophic social and economic consequences of the worldwide population decline. Sobering, must see – more than once. $18 online.
The follow-up to this movie, "Demographic Bomb," was released June 20, but I only have seen a press release about it. Purchase "Demographic Winter" at the WND SuperStore.
