A Netflix movie portraying a woman having a fulfilling life after an unplanned pregnancy has garnered the ire of Glamour magazine. The ardently pro-abortion publication argued that the movie “Look Both Ways” should have featured a story in which the main character underwent an abortion, rather than giving her a happily-ever-after ending with a baby.<\/p>\n

Starring “Riverdale” actress Lili Reinhart, “Look Both Ways” features the story of a woman named Natalie. After having sex with her friend, Gabe, Natalie begins to feel sick and suspects she might be pregnant. After taking a pregnancy test, the storyline diverges into two different realities; in one, Natalie isn’t pregnant, while in the other, she is. In both realities, Natalie ends up successful and happy, including the reality in which she had her baby. This, Glamour complained<\/a>, is unacceptable.<\/p>\n

“At a time when women in America \u2014 and especially Texas, where Natalie is living when she becomes pregnant \u2014 are being denied the very right to such a decision, the plot seems tone-deaf at best,” writer Sam Reed said. “A more compelling version of events might see Natalie pregnant in both<\/em> timelines following her one-night stand, and making the decision to terminate the pregnancy in one universe, while continuing it in the other.”<\/p>\n
