But in Knocked Up it makes absolutely no sense that THIS woman with THIS man wouldn't have one. Or at least not have a really convincing reason why she shouldn't. And that makes it conservative propaganda.
That's exactly it, Steph. There was no compelling enough reason offered as to why she would opt to have that loser's child. An abortion in that position was like a no-brainer if I've ever heard of one.
On the casting note, I forgot to mention that the idiot "Danger" who mucked up Million Dollar Baby, is one of the most unappealing actors I've ever seen. His shtick (which he doesn't change movie to movie) is just so lame.
Oh, and as far as Katherine Heigl being some prototypically hot, bodacious, blonde chick, am I the only one who thinks she's not really all that attractive? Obviously, she's not my thing, but I just think there's something weird about her mouth and teeth. I'll probably have the "gross conceptualization of beauty in America" police sicced on me, but if she was cast as the truly unattainable "hot chick" stereotype, well, I wasn't really buying that either.
Trying to inject an abortion debate into this thread is like bringing up the issue of the rising price of oil in a There Will Be Blood thread.
