“It’s about as shocking as any motion picture can ever get. It’s illegal to film someone being killed,” said Kaye.
***My heart cries for these innocent little ones.

“It’s all legal, of course.”

What must be the mentality of persons who believe a moral wrong can become a legal right? What else can they be led to believe?

“What else can they be led to believe?”

You know, whatever the SCOTUS makes into law. I swear, there was a reason we had division of government, but I guess everyone has accepted that they are the ‘Supreme’ law of the land.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg wants the age of consent to be lowered to 12. Won’t that be dandy for child molesters and pedophiles?

Even after spending years working on the project, Kaye, however, admits to not knowing where he stands in the debate.

So why bother to make the film?

Perhaps as a nice date movie?

Even despite the confused film maker, I see this as a great thing.

By sitting firmly on the fence, he may well have an audience on both sides. It sounds like the film pretty well just lays it out there. And think about it, how many pro-aborts have ever had a good look at abortion?

So much of this industry never sees the light of day. Ironically, they desperately hide behind a veil of secrecy because revealing the truth would set people against abortion.

Any lifting of that veil is a good thing. Expose the truth and let the truth take on a life of its own. Hearts will be changed. Who cares what his personal views are as long as he brings this grisly practice out into the light.

At the end of the Book of Judges (OT) it says that there was not king in Israel so every man did what was right in his own eyes. Today, liberalism/democrap party says there is no God of right and wrong, so everyone should be authorized by the almighty government to do what is right in their own eyes paid for by government extorted taxes.

Remarkable, 11 September 2006

Author: Nick Van der Graaf from Toronto, Canada

Caveat: I have been a pro-choice activist for many years in my home country of Canada, and attended the “March for Women’s Lives” in Washington D.C. in 2004. Obviously I have a pretty solid opinion on this issue, but below I have tried to just talk about the film itself.

I saw this a couple of days ago at the Toronto Film Festival. I think it is an unflinching look at the how the battle over abortion rights has played out in the United States over the last 15 years or so. It was intended to be unbiased, an even-handed look at both sides of the issue. By and large, I think Kaye succeeded at this, but I would very much like to attend a screening of this film before an audience of committed pro-lifers to see what they think of it. I couldn’t help but think that nearly all the pro-lifers interviewed came across as deeply disturbed, with a couple of exceptions.

The film clocks in at over two and a half hours and could easily loose 30 minutes without taking away from the impact of the film. Similarly it ends dreadfully - overblown music and an utterly inconsequential shot - the director having missed the perfect spot to end it 5 minutes beforehand.

Shot entirely in black and white, there are several moments of stunning beauty, contrasting with the frequently dull and suburban backgrounds in which such a passionate battle is being waged by both sides.

Overall I would definitely recommend this film, but only after it is re-edited from its present version.

A last note: Tony Kaye was present at the screening and gave an utterly bizarre performance during the Q&A at the end of the movie. He stood at the mike, rubbing his face vigorously, making little sense and often at a loss for words. We were planning to ask questions but he was so out of it that we decided not to waste our time!

In every man’s life, there is a point between dawn and sunset that he must stare intently at the sun.

"My position on the subject is that I don't really know what's right. I didn't know much in the beginning... and at the end I was just as confused."

Proof positive that even a gibbering idiot can make a film.

“America’s holocaust has been carried out by about 30% of ALL WOMEN, with the encouragement of about 30% of ALL MEN.”

If you ever decide to educate yourself on the subject you will be shocked at how many times abortions have been done over the vehement objections of the fathers.

I was basing my guess on the fact that about 33% of all pregnancies in the U.S. since 1973 have ended in abortion. I think about 25% of women who have had one abortion have had two.

"I think about 25% of women who have had one abortion have had two."

Or more for free.

You have to remember this whole scheme started almost 100 years ago with the intent to control the populations of underclass people. Sound familiar? I remember some high class woman started this thinking early last century. As an extension, how many hundreds of millions of people died in last century fighting wars? There is a Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao, ++, etc. connection to a certain philosophy including this sort of thinking. You know where it comes from right here and currently.

“From the moment I started making the film I thought I have to show an abortion, which at the time had never been done before,”

Liar. It’s been done before. Silent Scream. A video which shows the face of a baby as it is being aborted.

The last time I looked at the statistics, 50% of the women who had abortions had TWO OR MORE. Sometimes 3, 4 or 5.

That means most abortions are being used for BIRTH CONTROL, not for an unexpected pregnancy for some poor single woman.

Sickening.

Do an Internet search on “aleister crowley” and “do what thou wilt” sometime. It will raise the hair on the back of your neck.
