a couple of Abortion documentaries

1. Jack Cashill's documentary "Thine Eyes"

This documentary film provides a firsthand view of the spirit of the March for Life and its participants.

To accomplish this goal a team of professionals has been assembled to produce a high definition film of this significant event:

They are Steve Sanborn, Executive Producer – Jack Cashill, Producer – Mike Wunsch, Outpost Pictures, Director – and actress Jennifer O’Neill, Narrator.

The film specifically does four things:

1. Provides accurate and artistic coverage of the 36th annual March for life to be shared with the world via DVD, Christian television networks and on YouTube. A sub-point to be made here is that mainstream media presence and coverage is tracked in this film.

2. Includes a fund raising appeal component on behalf of the prolife movement in general. Viewers must know that the prolife movement raises roughly $50 million annually while our opponents raise billions. This film inspires prolife people to give time, talent and treasure to the prolife cause.

3. Raises awareness about the March for Life and the prolife position, with a specific target – young people – with a message that is strictly based on the “conception to natural death” position.

4. Provides a visual resource to prolife organizations, schools, churches and any person or organization that wishes to make use of this resource.


2. "Lake of Fire" by director Tony Kaye (the director of "American History X", starring Edward Norton)

Tony has spent approximately 18 years making this movie and it shows. The black and white cinematography is wonderful.

What isn't wonderful, is Tony's depiction of Pro-Lifers versus Pro-Choicers. Pro-choicers are shown as calm and reasonable, while Pro-Lifers are either abortion clinic bombers or hicks who morally support them.

Still, what is truly important is opposing actual abortion - as opposed to defending the good name of Pro-Lifers. Therefore, I can wholeheartedly recommend this documentary. For you see, while one side most assuredly must be applauding this documentary for lopsidedly demonizing Pro-Lifers, no documentary available for rental at Hollywood Video has ever shown an actual abortion complete with an abortionist sifting through tiny baby parts (i.e. feet and an eyeball).

I should also mention two more scenes. The first one involves Norma McCorvey who is better known as Roe from Roe vs. Wade. She talks at length about her conversion over to the Pro-Life side.

The second scene shows a woman go through an abortion from the beginning all the way until she breaks down after it's over.

there are some negative reactions from both sides:

pro-life
pro-abortion

most of the elite critics gave it very positive reviews.
