Finally! A Pro-Life Version Of A Few Good Men

This is a trailer for a movie called Come What May, but the working title was This Is Your Movie:

"YOU CAN'T ABORTION THE TRUTH!"
--Jack Nicholson's Character

The plot description of this movie is pretty smart:

If college student Caleb Hogan argues what he truly believes, he stands to lose the most important competition of his life--and the support of his mother. If he softens his stance, he might win the coveted title...but lose the heart of his teammate Rachel in the process.

Come What May is a vivid reminder that choosing whats right is never easy...but its always worth the cost.

A movie about abortion already has pretty high dramatic stakes, but when you throw in a moot court competition, things are going to get INTENSE.

Ay-ay-ay!

MOOT COURT TEARS FAMILIES APART.

Did you know that most people who go to law school drop out because they can't handle the conflict between doing what is right and MOOT COURT.

NOTHING BUT NET. (What?) (Thanks for the tip, Andrew.)

Wait, that was serious. The trailer totally makes it seem like a satire of fundamentalists.

I...I.... I'm still not sure what the plot of that movie is other than "God hates abortions."

Why is he arguing against abortion on the set of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

ADD IN EXCEPTIONS LATER!! This was clearly the motto of this film. "Hey guys, I want to make a movie about the most important issue of our time, baby killing, but I don't have a script or actors or any sense of direction." "Who cares, Joshua, WE'LL ADD THOSE IN LATER!"

If it's a movie about abortions, why is the main character a dude?

Thank you Gilbran! I was raised (by my father) to believe that men are supposed to shut up about the issue.

PS: I'm glad these people have no idea what Roe v Wade is really about. It's about a woman having the right over her own body so that she's not the property of the man she's betrothed to. I wonder if anyone makes that point throughout the movie.

nerdy point of information: in moot court, you don't choose which side to argue. it's assigned and in some competitions you may have to argue both sides. It's about the style of argument, not what you believe.

I like his style. Some people might have chosen to make a legal argument there about fetal viability and compelling state interest, blah blah blah...this guy just shouts the definition of viability and shakes the legal world to its core.
I can't wait for Advent Film Group's next movie: An atheist big-city attorney knew his pro-abortion argument was air tight, until he had to argue it in front of a jury...OF BABIES. "12 Angry Infants" is coming soon.

PATRICK HENRY COLLEGE! I already saw a pre-release version of this trailer at Christmas, because my cousins go to this school. It's basically a Superelite school for training homeschoolers to infiltrate the US government to make America a Christian society.

Give me liberty or give me barf.

OK, this trailer has convinced me. Justice Souter’s replacement on the Supreme Court should be a TV w/built in DVD player showing this movie on an endless loop.

I can't get enough of these high-larious Christian movie trailers. I send them out in obnoxious mass e-mails. Please keep them coming.
I love the shot of him sitting in a field with his Bible. Because as a Christian, I know that's what I do when I need to pray about my strategy to overturn Roe V Wade, I head out to the old field with my Bible, and then God throws a CD out of a tree.
Jesus Christ.

This is exactly the kind of movie we Americans need. Too long have we excepted that abortion is a simple case of right or wrong. However, someone's had the fuckin balls to man up and make a movie that proves this whole argument is fuckin ABSURD and RIDICULOUS because people who are pro-choice are just plain, baby-killing wrong. Let's render the arguement wrong, ya'll. Time to take back our America, and bring back the waves of babies. I mean, SHIT, the last boom of babies has done nothing but a fan-fuckin-tastic job!

I can't believe nobody has mentioned that this is basically a bad remake of the 1989 Kirk Cameron Abortion Debate Team movie "Listen To Me." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097756/ Except I can because I saw it on a church youth group field trip and it's not really famous. But it's this!

I try to be open minded, even to Christiany things. But I've started reading this website called townhall.org, where basically conservative writers blame all of America's problems on abortion. Frankly, I'm getting scared.

Because CLEARLY the biggest thing missing from the abortion debate is the opinion of privileged white men. Now their stifled voices can finally be heard.
