Bella, the "People's Choice Award" winner from the Toronto Film Festival is opening this coming weekend, October 26 in select theatres around the country. I encourage you to see this movie this weekend, and if you like it, tell as many of your friends as possible to go see it. I have not seen the movie, but several staff members here at Touchstone/Salvo saw it and liked it.
I met one of the producers of this film on Saturday and he spoke of his pro-life motivation behind the film. On Friday, after I gave a talk on "Voting for Pontius Pilate: Washing Our Hands of Abortion," I was told about a government hearing that had just ended the same day in which several dozen women testified to the harm they suffered due to abortion. Also, I was told, several thousand women have been filing affadavits about the after-effects, the harm they experienced from abortion.
I was told a few weeks ago by a Republican candidate for Senate in Illinois that the pro-life cause was over and that we live in a pro-choice culture, and, not these exact words, get over it. He was just being realistic. So why bother with pro-life efforts? I have no way of predicting the results from such efforts mentioned above, but I do know that viewing Bella has already persuaded several women not to have abortions. In other words, someone's efforts just saved someone's life.
