The woman who was so offended because little children saw the pictures. Yet, it was fine with her for attacking those same little kid's father- literally beating on him. Then, there's the students who complained about the graphic photos on their college campus. The way I see it is, those pictures are the voice of the aborted babies. I'm not religious, not a Republican but I am a person who is greatful that my mother didn't abort me.Z3

Like some kind of movie-making magicians, those responsible for "Unborn in the USA" have pulled off quite a remarkable feat of documentary legerdemain. Though obviously pro-choice themselves, instead of launching a diatribe against the pro-life movement, they have allowed those on the other side to speak for themselves in their own words. The result is that the pro-lifers are not reduced to the simpleminded caricatures we so often encounter in media portrayals of them (think of that sweet but rather pathetic and utterly befuddled anti-abortion protester standing all by herself outside the clinic in "Juno"). Indeed, virtually every person interviewed for the film falls on the pro-life side of the issue and most of them come across as decent, well-intentioned individuals who are willing to put themselves on the line for a cause that means so much to them personally.Somehow, directors Stephen Fell and Will Thompson were able to gain remarkable insider access to some of the key players in the pro-life movement, including Focus on the Family, a Colorado-based Christian organization that, among other things, trains college students to go forth and spread the pro-life gospel (this is the aspect of FOTF's ministry on which the movie primarily focuses). Even when the filmmakers interview a member of a group like the Army of God - an organization dedicated to eradicating abortion through any means possible, including violence against clinics and abortion doctors - the directors make sure to counter them with people on the pro-life side who vehemently condemn those actions. The movie also features women who have had abortions and now go around the country voicing their regret.In fact, so potent and powerful are the images that one begins to wonder if the movie might not in actuality be a product of the pro-life movement sent out as a kind of Trojan Horse to lure the unwary to their side. Indeed, the filmmakers stay almost entirely offstage in this film, voicing their own pro-choice opinions only in the title cards that are frequently interspersed between interviews."Unborn in the USA" functions almost like a Rorschach-blot test for pro-lifers and pro-choicers, since viewers on both sides of the issue may be able to project their own beliefs onto the movie and have them reaffirmed by what they witness here. It's a tricky gamble Fell and Thompson have taken with their approach, but the result is a thought-provoking and challenging movie that definitely cries out to be seen.

One viewer argued that the filmmakers have a pro-choice bias because they filled 2 percent of the screen time with the black-and-white factoids, including one that represented the medical community's position that abortion and breast cancer are not linked. Another viewer implied that this film is pro-life because it focused almost entirely on pro-lifers.I think both viewers are wrong and I think trying to figure out whether the filmmakers are biased or trying to manipulate us is a waste of time. Ninety percent of the movie is footage of pro-lifers in action and pro-lifers discussing their work in their own words. That's pretty much exactly what the movie promised at the outset. If the film had teased "a complete, thorough, and balanced look at the abortion debate," then you could accuse the filmmakers of pro-life bias. But it didn't do that.

This is not a Michael Moore documentary. The information presented in this film is NOT spoon fed to you, and it cannot be viewed with the expectation of being easy to watch. This film forces you to reconsider everything you know about abortion. This film requires you to hear all, see all, and form your own opinion after the credits roll. While the views of the filmmakers are probably more "pro-choice" than "pro-life", much more attention is paid to the pro-life side of the issue. Keep in mind that this is hardly ever used in an offensive or mocking way, but rather in a way that is respected, fair, and representative of the Pro-Life community. That is what makes the film so unique- it's ability to spend the majority of the film on the side of Pro-Life but still end up balancing out and forcing YOU, the audience, to make your own decisions. This film will move you. This film is essential for everyone to witness. It is unique in its power to make both pro-life and pro-choice activists question their beliefs. It is one of the most unbiased films I have ever had the honor to experience, and it should not be approached with any expectations. Allow the film to present to you everything it offers, which is an extensive range of opinions and facts, and be aware that it blurs the line between life and choice almost past the point of distinction. Life and choice are no longer so clear. You can no longer rely on the beliefs of your political affiliation to tell you what is humane and what is immoral. In this day and age of technology and the spread of information, independent opinions need to be formed. If you seek knowledge and information, watch this film. If you are looking for a film to breeze through, save it for another day. But come back to it and remember that it is beneficial both to people who consider themselves "Pro-Life" and "Pro-Choice". See for yourself and do what the documentary encourages- find your own knowledge and follow it both with passion and understanding.
