Many excellent pro-life movies and documentaries have been recently
released covering a wide spectrum of our issues. In fact, the movies
seem to be coming so fast I have delayed posting this column several
weeks to try to catch the latest. Even last week I read of one more but
have to draw the line somewhere.
My star rating is out of four possible. Because of the volume, I am
providing thumbnail reviews. Films are listed in alphabetical order....
Stars: 2-1/2
Released Spring 2009. Dove-family approved. 93 minutes. Fiction.
Synopsis: Pro-life college law student argues against Roe v. Wade in
"moot court" while pro-abortion mother argues against parental
notification before US Supreme Court. Patrick Henry College student
production (and school infomercial) - impressive in that regard but not
up to Hollywood standards. Good information on Roe v. Wade decision;
good love story role modeling. $10-15 online.
Stars: 4
Released Spring 2008. 56 minutes. Documentary.
Synopsis: Details the catastrophic social and economic consequences of
the worldwide population decline. Sobering, must see - more than once.
$18 online.
The follow-up to this movie, Demographic Bomb, was released June 20,
but I only have seen a press
release.
Stars: 4
Released June 2009. 57 minutes. Documentary.
Synopsis: First, I promise this film is not boring, making excellent
use of movie clips and celebrity sound bites in combination with
graphics and interviews of scientists on both sides of the debate.
Covered are not only ethics but women's health as well as media,
political and terminology obfuscation. Very current information
provided. $20 online.

The IFRL is the largest grassroots pro-life organization in
Illinois. A non-profit organization, that serves as the state
coordinating body for local pro-life chapters representing thousands of
Illinois citizens working to restore respect for all human life in our
society. The IFRL is composed of people of different political
persuasions, various faiths and diverse economic, social and ethnic
backgrounds. Since 1973 the Illinois Federation for Right to Life has
been working to end abortion and restore legal protection to those members of the
human family who are threatened by abortion, infanticide and euthanasia. Diverse though we are, we hold one common belief - that
every human being has an inalienable right to life that is precious and must be protected. IFRL is
dedicated to restoring the right to life to the unborn, and protection
for the disabled and the elderly. Click here to learn more about the IFRL.
