Honestly this movie was pretty crappy the way it's not in proper order as the second movie was!So in the first story, we see Demi Moore's character as a 1950's nurse and is wanting to terminate the baby because it seemed to be that she slept with her dead husbands brother. However I didn't realise that was the case at all as the storyline was going too quick for me. Then she gets a creepy sick doctor that didn't disinfect the equipment and just left her there losing a large amount of blood. The screen fades and raises like a million questions in your head. I was wondering the whole night did she die or did someone save her? This had given me a headache a and I felt really unsatisfied that it didn't show what happened.Anyways the second story wasn't as depressing but wasn't that great. The mother of 4 Barbara realises she's pregnant but doesn't want the baby since she has enough rascals in the house lol. I mean at the end when she decided to keep the baby, I thought to myself like shouldn't she talk more about this to her husband instead of arguing with him a lot. Like c'mon this story was meant to be set in the 70's not 50's so why was she hiding on wanting to get rid of the baby!To the third story, we see a young girl Christine finding out she's preggers by Craig T Nelsons sugar daddy character and disses him. Then she is arguing with Jada Pinketts character because she believes if Christine aborts the baby, she would go to hell. They go to the health clinic and are introduced by Cher's character who will be aborting Christines babies. Then this is where the storyline became stupid and awful. The young fella we had met earlier on became a psycho killing Cher's character, injuring another doctor and Christine. Then the scene fades, what kind of story was that??!! Why weren't even the police involved??The stories were rubbish, I don't know why this won 3 golden globes and the sequel only one?! This is one of the worst films I have ever seen in my life!

At age 14 when if these walls could talk, came out I felt the intensity of the plots and characters. Then I had seen abortion as very selfish. Demi's character has casual sex, out of loneliness and grief sure, instead of protecting her child she selfishly brutalized herself and child to save face. The middle aged woman, selfish. Woman die of ab these days and don't forget about all of the unborn females aborted. Hypocrisy. Ab is not about woman's rights, and I am a woman. Ab is about convenience, greed and selfishness. Even though ab brings suffering to many who were misguided and coerced. Woman's rights are about protecting, not slaughtering a 'pregnancy'. As I've grown I have more compassion for post ab woman as most were naive or manipulated or even forced by threats and lack of support. Ab as a whole is grossly out of the realm of 'womans rights'. And I know this still even through living around corruption and harm in my naivety and adulthood. I think this movie has a great potential to misguide. It is a fragment of the bigger picture. But still captivating, good acting.

This movie made me look at everything. And I find that it was neither for Abortion or against it. I think it was just trying to educate us. Show us what it would have been like in different times; to show us the difference. This is not a topic I ever really felt to strongly about. I think it's your choice. But this movie presented it from every angle.I'll start with the 1952 segment. Now, some scenes in this one I found hard to watch. That goes without saying. The end I found very gruesome. It's so hard to believe the lengths some women would go to. But I guess I kind of understand why she do something like that. And Demi Moore. Her performance blew me away! I'm really not a big Demi Moore fan, but she was just so amazing in this.Now the 1974 segment didn't really show too much. It just didn't really make me think about her situation and pity her. I know people that had been in a worse position and ended up having 7 kids. I just couldn't sympathize for her. I know she ended up keeping the baby and that was a good decision, but I really didn't feel for Sissy Spacek's character much at all.SPOILERS!!! Now the 1996 segment was just brilliant! Cher did an amazing job! Anne Heche did and amazing job! Matthew Lillard did and amazing job! Everything was just so amazing! A lot of you may not know it, but the guy who shoots Cher at the end was actually Matthew Lillard. He did a great job. Sure all he had to do was go in shoot her and leave, but he was great. And Cher, wow. She was really believable. And when Anne Heche is holding her in her arms... Just blew me away. This movie really made me think. And something everyone needs. But I do have to say that it is not for the faint of heart.

This film shows up as well now as I did when I first saw it in 1996 and was amazed. All those in the "demi moore can't act" camp should check out what she can do with the right material. She delivers an amazing performance in the first piece, giving those of us who dont remember a glimpse of the pre-Roe v Wade situation for women who found themselves in a less than desirable situation. Sissy Spacek is brilliant as ever in a lighter, though heartfelt and often ignored situation of a mom deciding whether one more child is what she wants. The final segment knocks me off my feet. Kudos to Cher for pulling together great actors and great stories.
