This is a movie about abortion.

Regarding the issue of abortion, although I am a male and have never aborted others, I still have a say. Because of religious reasons, I used to strongly oppose abortion. At that time I thought abortion was killing. One reason many people oppose abortion is religion. The United States is a country with a very strong religious atmosphere. It is a country established by the Puritans. Today I am still a religious person. But I think that the religious world should not be allowed to enter the secular life too much. Life has to rely on science and reason. And this movie describes another serious consequence of the ban on abortion. Will children born as a result of the prohibition of abortion be abandoned and become orphans? Childhood without maternal and fatherly love is very miserable. Even if these children are not abandoned, if there is no good living environment, who knows who they will become?
