“Abortion is one of the last taboos in mainstream American film — a no-flyover zone of many years’ standing. No matter how realistically presented, it’s just not something that’s done if you want to keep the sympathy (and ticket sales) of multiplex audiences. That said, each moviegoing generation confronts and/or backs away from the subject in its own fashion, and three current releases have opted to carry to term, whether it makes dramatic sense or not.”
