This was released a little over a decade ago. It predicts a time a little more than a decade from now when abortion is again prosecuted as infanticide. It didn't attract much attention at the time, but I found it disturbingly accurate and chilling. I could not stop watching.

A bit preachy at times, this mockumentary imagined a future that is chillingly close to the present state of the abortion debate. It imagines a time when a woman can be imprisoned for having an abortion, a state of affairs brought about by passage of the 28th amendment, defining life as beginning at fertilization, thereby banning any and all abortions, and all types of contraception other than barrier methods. Sound familiar? And this was done in 1993! Interesting, but maybe a little too much pontificating and not enough action to keep one's interest riveted.
