This question on Abortion movie hits both movies *and* sex

[Tdarcos]

I tried posting this question on the two major abortion groups on Usenet, and the only response I got related to the question was "Citizen Ruth" which has nothing to do with the item I posted below. So maybe someone here can help me find it.

There was a movie on TV, (it is conceivable it might have been one on Lifetime), about a woman who was in a coma, and it was considered she might die, so her male partner who has power to make the choice - presumably her husband, but might have been her boyfriend - decides to have an abortion done on her in order to save her life.

Some group that doesn't like the idea sues to stop him, for whatever reason. In a memorable scene, the petition goes all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and it shows a courier delivering the petition to the clerk for one of the justices.

Since I mentioned the movie in a book I wrote, the movie had to be on TV more than 12 years ago when I first wrote the story.

I am trying to find out what the name of this movie was.

There was a movie about Citizen Ruth. In the film she got raped and was fighting to abort the child, even though it was past the first trimester. Eventually the baby was born and was all deformed (no arms, no legs) and the mother (Ruth) tried to wrap the baby up in a plastic bag. The movie was actually named after Ruth's baby.

Okay, how did you do the search? I tried a Google search on movies about abortion and couldn't find it. What did you do, just go directly to IMDB?

I'm curious how you found it so fast.

In any event, I am so pleased that I here forth withdraw any claim I have over the $5 you promised in addition to Jonsey for posting over at Caltrops.

Thank you, my friend.

There was a movie about Citizen Ruth. [ ] The movie was actually named after Ruth's baby.

To quote Walter Matthau in The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3, "You are a sick man, Flack. Sick."

So just to go over the top, I'll do an abortion joke.

This guy is loading dead fetuses in a grinder that they use so that when the bury the refuse it takes up less room. A guy is referred to him, because he found out he's the doctor who performs the abortions and he's the clinic owner. The man who came to see him wants to buy the corpses they've normally been grinding up and burying them. He wants to use them as protein filler in animal fodder. "Feed them to animals? Are you out of your mind? I run an ethical business," he says, as he throws another dead fetus into the grinder, "I have moral standards about how I run my business!"

I typed "movie abortion coma" into Google and it was the fifth link down.

(It is also mentioned in the page in the second link down.)
