4. LOVED IT!
Even though I'm adamantly pro-choice, I thought the movie did a good job of showing how the real human experience can get lost in even worthwhile political struggles.

I think it added another small voice to my consience that resonates during political struggles unrelated specifically to abortion.

It's absolutely vital that when fighting the good fight, we remember we're ultimately doing it to make peoples lives better (and keep the planet livable for future generations - which I guess is part of the same goal). Reminds me of the Goethe (or was it Nietzsche) quote "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster". Maybe a bit strong, but the same underlying truth.

A kick for Citizen Ruth!
