David Hogberg's article is on point except for one important issue: it appears to gloss over the consideration for the life of the child itself. His critique seems more appropriate for the years prior to the passage of Roe v. Wade.

To be sure, the normalization of births out of wedlock is a tragedy, but it pales in comparison to the wholesale slaughter of the most innocent amongst us.

If we had perfect options we could select perfect choices. Absent that we must work with what's before us. Were I given the choice between being raised by ne'er-do-well parents or being ripped apart in utero I would choose the former.

p>I have not seen the movie and probably won't, mostly because I don't see very many movies. However, it sounds as though the movie suggests to its viewers (albeit, perhaps unintentionally) that the mistake of immorality (or foolishness, as the moviemakers would probably characterize the situation) should not be compounded by murder. I find it hard to fault that. Again though, Mr. Hogberg made some valid points. br> -- R. Trotter br> Arlington, Virginia
