At age 14 when if these walls could talk, came out I felt the intensity of the plots and characters. Then I had seen abortion as very selfish. Demi's character has casual sex, out of loneliness and grief sure, instead of protecting her child she selfishly brutalized herself and child to save face. The middle aged woman, selfish. Woman die of ab these days and don't forget about all of the unborn females aborted. Hypocrisy. Ab is not about woman's rights, and I am a woman. Ab is about convenience, greed and selfishness. Even though ab brings suffering to many who were misguided and coerced. Woman's rights are about protecting, not slaughtering a 'pregnancy'. As I've grown I have more compassion for post ab woman as most were naive or manipulated or even forced by threats and lack of support. Ab as a whole is grossly out of the realm of 'womans rights'. And I know this still even through living around corruption and harm in my naivety and adulthood. I think this movie has a great potential to misguide. It is a fragment of the bigger picture. But still captivating, good acting.
