Cries of the Unborn

This movie is bad for two reasons. The first is it's simply a bad movie from start to finish. But the second reason is that it's a kinda remake of "The Life Zone". If you haven't seen "The Life Zone" then don't bother because it's equally bad. What this movie does is takes a slightly different approach to it and leaves out some of the elements including the weak twist ending.

Seven years ago three women were kidnapped from an abortion clinic and were forced to give birth. The people that did this finally admit their guilt and the whole thing goes to trial. It's revealed that two of the women that were kidnapped were actually in on the whole thing. In other words all of this, including keeping them hostage for seven months and forcing them to give birth was done for the sake of one woman and one woman only.

And yet throughout it all, this is painted as a good thing. These people did all this to ensure one baby was to be born and for this they feel they should be rewarded. They mentally tortured a woman for seven months and forced her to give birth. In what universe is this a good thing? Remember free will? Obviously the filmmakers don't.

This is just another anti-abortion propaganda movie that thinks it's more clever than it actually is.

I really liked The Life Zone so I was pretty excited to find out that this was the sequel. The acting was great from everyone but (most of) the jury cast. That acting was too stiff and that aspect of the story was completely unrealistic. No deliberation would become some narcissist's morality play. The jury spent zero time focusing on the law, not to mention the verbiage was more geared toward a civil action than a criminal trial. The story was good, just the morality play part was ridiculous. And is there some reason nearly every person in this movie, including the children who were supposedly born here at Life Zone, has a foreign accent? That was so weird and distracting.

I wanted to vomit throughout most of this movie. Thankfully, the justice system, although faulty, doesn't operate on false sciences and skewed beliefs. I am actively religious and this movie was sickening. There were no valid point or excuses made and the fact that they added the whole kidnapping/legal scenario was honestly scary, in that they were trying to validate what the "culprits" even did to the main character in question. Weird and pointless. No self respecting network should carry this mess!

It's probably not Citizen Kane, but the pro aborts trashing the film force me to give it a good review. And some talk about free choice. What about the choice taken away from the baby?

A truly disgusting display of prejudice and ignorance. When conservative thinkers dismiss the notion that those like them want to force women to be nothing more than baby making machines forced to give birth, a slave in their own bodies, the handmaiden's tale come to life, it's movies like these that show their platitudes to be false.

A Fetus Is Not A Baby. regardless of how often you lie about it. It doesn't make it true.

Something being alive does not make it murder to kill it. Cows are alive, spiders are alive, trees are alive, tumors are alive. Being "life" means nothing, it's whether or not you are sentient, and a tumor growing in your body with the barest minimum (or none at all depending on it's stage of development) of brain activity isn't. If you'd actaully care to look at an evidence of when it becomes sentinet it would be well after birth, but legally it's much easier to just set it as birth.

It isn't "saving" a life if you do nothing for it after it's born. Women get abortons for a number of reasons and it's never a decision taken lightly. A poor household or young mother is unlikely to adequately raise a child. And forcing them to bear children (A violation of their basic human rights to have control over their own bodies) when you're against any form of financial help to raise the child (including if it were to be given up to foster care or adoption), and any form of birth control to help prevent unwanted children, is hypocrisy at it's finest. And adoption is not the answer either. There are far more unwanted children than there are people willing to adopt, most get left out in the cold (figuratively speaking for those of you too dumb to get metaphors). And our foster system is an underfunded overstraigned nightmare for most children.

The premise of this movie is an abortion of any form of intelligent thought or reason. An appeal to emotion (namely fear and disgust) to take away the rights of others
