I would have to say "The Cider House Rules"
There is one great line in the movie: When Michael Caine's character is grumbling to two of the orphan kids how nobody wants them and how miserable their lives are, the kid played by Toby McGuire says - "Well, it beats the incinerator."
That's about the best anti-abortion argument I've ever heard!

Yeah, but the message of the film was how when Toby Maguire was young and naive, abortion was wrong. But when he "grew up" and matured, he naturally saw that there was a proper place for abortion in this world.
And don't forget Delroy Lindo's speech "The people that made up them rules don't have to live in this cider house. They don't gotta live by them rules. We gone tear down them rules and make our own rules." It doesn't get more liberal than that, in my mind.

Yes, Cider House rules would get my vote.

So in twenty or fifty years, when the Dred Scott sentiment has passed, Hollywood will point proudly to this line as proof they were pro-life all the time.
