Alison's Choice (2015)
What I expected
This film feels very much like something that is shown to preteens and teens in youth group at church; it's targeted to a very specific, prolife demographic that works to convince women in continuing their pregnancies so as not to make Jesus cry.
Jesus being a janitor feels like a steal from Bruce Almighty - I recognize that Morgan Freeman was God, but it's literally the same profession. He also appears white/Caucasian, which we all know to be historically impossible.
There is definitely some misinformation about fetal development and how these kinds of clinics are run. The portrayal of a woman clutching her man in the waiting room or staff members pulling her aside to offer their two cents isn't realistic. "Seeing" the baby was totally cringe and not at all what this would have looked like in utero at the time of development.
I understand that abortion isn't for everyone. But it can save lives. This film would have you believe differently through a Christian leaning lens.
