Did the abortion actually take place in "Grandma" or did the film cop out? I know that it's a fairly recent movie, but for the life of me, I can't recall its conclusion. Thanks. -Jjoe baltakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11467420961490314339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-85073727831749137372017-10-31T14:01:29.521-04:002017-10-31T14:01:29.521-04:00The 2015 film "Grandma" with Lly Tomlin ...The 2015 film "Grandma" with Lly Tomlin was almost totally related to the subject of abortion.

Every time I hear these politicians (if you can call them that) anti-abortion platforms, I always say . . . "duh, didn't they ever hear of Wade/Roe?" There was a movie out a few years ago where a teenage gets pregnant (Joseph Cera was the boyfriend) and goes full term but gives the baby away to Jennifer Garner. I suppose that's as liberal as it gets these days. "you don't want it, you have to have it but it's ok to give it away to a horrid woman". Pathetic.<br /><br />The tadpole line would never make it through without mass demonstrations. Talk about progress! <br />Kikinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-91484987006543731822015-11-22T13:22:24.931-05:002015-11-22T13:22:24.931-05:00Well said, Brian.

Yet it had an impact that I didn't expect. It didn't shy from the upheaval and horror that teens feel when they're in predicaments which they can't get out of, and I remember that the scenes when the kids are looking for an abortionist were tough. All in all, a movie which has been overlooked, but seems ripe for rediscovery.
