Abortion Comedy "Obvious Child" Flops at the Box Office

The way abortion advocates tell it, women have been clamoring for a movie featuring abortion - and not just abortion, but a "positive" abortion story. Forever bemoaning the lack of abortions in romantic books and movies, and even shoehorning abortion into a wedding announcement, pro-abortion activists were screeching with joy over the pro-abortion film Obvious Child.

It's a romantic comedy about a woman who gets dumped, has a one-night stand, and then has an abortion. Along the way, she makes a lot of jokes about farts and sex. Sounds hilarious and charming, right? Ref. Source 1

For aspiring comedian Donna Stern, everyday life as a female twenty-something provides ample material for her hysterical and relatable brand of humor. On stage, Donna is unapologetically herself, joking about topics as intimate as her sex life and as crude as her day-old underwear. But when Donna winds up unexpectedly pregnant after a one-night stand, she is forced to face the uncomfortable realities of independent womanhood for the first time. Donna's drunken hookup - and epic lapse in prophylactic judgment - turns out to be the beginning of a hilarious and totally unplanned journey of self-discovery and empowerment.
