Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

After Tiller (2013)

Incredibly sad doc about the four US abortionists who are trained to do late-term abortions and the daily dangers they face from those who oppose their work. It doesn’t take long to understand that these four doctors are decent, caring people doing what they believe to be right. It's just a short hop from that knowledge to admitting that these procedures are, at least some of the time, necessary or compassionate for both mother and fetus. It’s just overwhelming what they live with on a daily basis: not only do they have what is probably one of the most draining professions there is, they also get harangued and demonized for it at every turn.

If you believe abortion is morally wrong (and I've gone back and forth on this issue more than once in my life), petition to change the law rather than abuse those who are living within them.
