Critics
may claim that the movie is spun by the "anti-abortion" camp; but besides those
who aborted their children, the movie also features three people who helped jump-start the
abortion industry: Norma McCorvey AKA "Roe" in Roe vs Wade; Dr. Bernard
Nathanson who helped: found the "National Abortion Rights Action League",
legalize abortion, and can & sell the catch phrase "pro-choice"; & Carol
Everett who owned and ran an abortuary for six years as of 1973. |
