In October, a new film will be released in theaters in Alabama and Mississippi that may serve to change many hearts and minds on the issue of abortion. October Baby<\/a><\/em> tells the story of Hannah, a college freshman who discovers that she was adopted and is a survivor of a failed abortion attempt. Hannah sets out on a journey to find her birth mother and learns many lessons in the process, including a powerful lesson about forgiveness.<\/p>\n

October Baby<\/em> will eventually be released nationwide, but the initial release in Alabama and Mississippi comes with an added bonus. In November, Mississippi voters will consider Amendment 26<\/a>, an amendment to their state constitution which would acknowledge the personhood of every unborn child. The release date is no accident. Directors John and Andrew Erwin<\/a> are strongly pro-life and hope that their film will help to bring the pro-life message to Mississippi in a powerful way as voters consider this issue. They have also committed to giving ten percent of the film’s proceeds to organizations that help women in crisis pregnancy situations.<\/p>\n

Gianna Jessen<\/a>, abortion survivor and pro-life speaker, is among the film’s strongest vocal supporters. She\u00a0writes<\/a> on her Facebook page:<\/p>\n

I am so grateful. Finally, joy without sorrow is coming.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
