If These Walls Could Talk (1996 TV Movie)
10/10
The woman's side
16 June 2019
This movie is an important movie that shows the woman's side of this issue which is the only side that matters. It showcases the consequences of both choosing an abortion, or choosing to continue to gestate and embryo into a child. Sissy's S. character would have to give up her education and career promise, she and her husband's sanity, and sending her second eldest to college, if she chose to continue to gestate the embryo. Demi M. is in a hard predicament from one lonely mistake after her husband died in the war. If she chose to continue the pregnancy, she would be shunned by her family and sent away, and if she chooses abortion, it would be the ultimate risk in a time when it was illegal. Ann H. is young, immature and too irresponsible to raise a child. She is abandoned by her lover when she gets pregnant. She drinks heavily while she's pregnant - an important reason why abortion is the best choice.

This movie shows what a difficult, thoughtful decision abortion always is. It also shows clearly how much women must give up when they choose to have the child. That choosing to have the child should never be a thoughtless decision. Children should never be punishments for a mistake. Children deserve better. Children deserve to be wanted 100%.

This movie is one reason I will forever by pro-choice.
