When the title of a movie has the word “baby” in it, presumably, it’s going to be about… a baby. The new romantic comedy “Bridget Jones’ Baby,” third in the Bridget Jones film series, is scheduled for release on September 16th, and critics have begun publishing their reviews. That includes Laura Goldman, whose review was featured in the Huffington Post<\/a>. Goldman had a lot of positive things to say about the movie. She praised Renee Zellweger for her portrayal of the title character, and praised the film as funny, saying it was “guaranteed to make you laugh” and promised “a belly laugh a minute.”<\/p>\n

But all of that took a backseat to Goldman’s abortion activism. Her movie review focused mostly on complaining that abortion was not featured more; indeed, the title of her review even focused on abortion (“\u2018Bridget Jones\u2019s Baby\u2019 Misses By Not Discussing Abortion”<\/em>). Of course, a movie about a woman having a baby wouldn’t make much sense if abortion was a central part of the plot, a fact that Goldman herself acknowledged. But still, she persisted in her point that abortion should have been shoehorned in somewhere.<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s one crucial word missing from the Bridget Jones script-abortion. It is absolutely inconceivable that Bridget, a single 43-year-old pregnant woman, never considers terminating her pregnancy even if she eventually rejected it,” Goldman wrote. “The screenwriters of the film should have had her discuss it with her doctor or could have opted for the less in your face route of having Bridget write about it in her diary, which is now an iPad. It is 2016 not 1950. It is okay for a 43-year-old single woman to fear she can\u2019t handle a baby on her own and consider terminating her pregnancy.”<\/p>\n
