Hey whaddya know and who woulda thunk ? Hollywood actually comes out with a pro-life film and even nominates it for Oscars. This is the short review of JUNO from the article...

3. Juno

directed by Jason Reitman

Exhibit A (or is it B or C or …) in what was a year of films with pro-life themes is a charming, quirky, and witty look into the life of a whip-smart 16-year-old girl (played brilliantly by Ellen Page) who gets pregnant after a one-night stand with her boyfriend. At first, she plans to abort, but after running into a teen pro-life activist outside the clinic, she realizes the fetus she's carrying is actually a living, growing baby. She changes her mind, decides to carry the baby to term, and begins a quest for "the perfect parents" to adopt the child. There's some rough language and teen sex talk, but the storylines are mostly redemptive—in addition to Juno's choice to have the baby (which her stepmom calls "a miracle from Jesus"), her parents are portrayed as loving and supportive (instead of the dolts we often see in teen comedies), and there's a nice exploration into the topic of unconditional love.

Wow... a movie like "Juno" actually came out of Hollywood???

My husband and I went out of our way to support "Bella" on its opening weekend. That was the first movie (in a cinema) that we had seen in several months...

I wouldn't call it a pro-life movie, because there's not a moral message against abortion, only the personal choice of a scared little girl. If anything, the writer was trying to paint pro-choice people in the best possible light and not just as people whose only instinct is to kill their babies.
