"October Baby": A Failed Abortion, A Wonderful Life
Nothing disturbs liberals more than a perceived assault on their most cherished, radical feminist sacrament, abortion.
They consider the right to murder a pre-born baby sacrosanct and inviolable and venomously attack any and all thinking to the contrary, especially when that thinking is incontrovertible.
Thus, the liberal reaction to the movie “October Baby” was entirely predictable since the film undermines their most fundamental precept that a woman’s rights supersede a baby’s right to life.
The reaction rivals the negative, leftist reception accorded the films, “Act of Valor” which, despite its violence, is an affirmation of American values and our armed forces, and ”The Passion of the Christ,” which aroused the passion of anti-Christians everywhere.
Positive affirmations of virtually anything good tend to make libs queasy.
Just released on 390 screens nationwide, “October Baby” is what Hollywood would call “a small film,” produced with minimal publicity and with major budgetary constraints.
Filmed in four weeks not in Tinseltown but in Alabama and on the Gulf Coast, ”October Baby” nevertheless garnered eighth place and an estimated $1.7 million gross for its first weekend with a per-screen average of $4,352, finishing third behind ”Hunger Games,” which debuted on 4,137 screens.
However, despite its outstanding early success at the box office, the story of “October Baby” is not about gross receipts and screens. It’s about life, understanding, and love.
Loosely based on the actual experiences of anti-abortion activist, Gianna Jessen, who was born with cerebral palsy and whose life was subsequently defined by pain, doctors, and medications, the movie focuses on Jessen’s persona, Hannah Lawson, who mistakenly believes her ”entire life is a lie.” . . .
