Publisher / Executive Editor ahorwitz©renmedia.us Jackie Headapohl Chief Operating Officer kbrowett@renmedia.us Keith Farber Sales Director Managing Editor jheadapohl@renmedia.us Obvious Child Movie Portrays Woman's Choice I'm glad that the film Obvious Child (June Keri Guten Cohen Story Development Editor kcohen@renmedia.us 26, page 60) was made because after years of watching movies that portray abor- tion as a procedure that causes women to experience shame and guilt, confusion and depression, sometimes to the degree where they get to the point that they don't have an abortion, there's finally a film that shows a young woman who has an abor- tion because she knows it's the best choice for herself. She feels a sense of relief. There's much more that could be said about Obvious Child, but I don't want to spoil it for anyone. This film will have a great appeal for young people. This is extremely important! Some of us will find the dialogue crass, but this film's premise and message are significant.
