This video has been a work in progress since 2018...
I never had the opportunity to see October Baby in theaters back in 2011, but I remember that a friend of mine in school saw it and said that people were literally passing around a box of tissues.
I watched the movie in DVD and cried so much asdkjfhskjfh
This movie is really close to my heart for a few reasons. One: abortion. Two: adoption. Three: my mom was told to abort my oldest brother.
My oldest brother: Based on some ultrasounds, my mom's doctor said that my oldest brother would have medical problems (I don't remember the specifics), so she should abort him. Obviously she never went back to that doctor. The only thing my brother has is Asperger's, and he was born perfectly healthy. I can't imagine life without him, and my heart hurts for the people told that same thing by doctors and chose abortion.
Abortion: There was also a girl in my class at the first college I went to. Her name was Eva. She had been with her boyfriend for a while, and she got pregnant. She was talking about how if her baby was a boy, she was thinking about naming him after her grandpa who had passed away years ago... She got an abortion a few weeks later. I cried the day that I heard.
Adoption: Two people that I know of in my close family were adopted. My uncle on my mom's side was adopted, and my cousin on my dad's side too. I've always wanted to adopt, but I need to like... Idk, get a stable job at the very least and move out of my parents house. I've always wanted to get married and have a family.
Right now according to worldometer, there have been 32,994,600 abortions this year, and that number is steadily rising. According to WHO, every year in the world there are an estimated 40-50 million abortions. That's about 125,000 abortions per day of boys and girls in the womb.
Live Action is a good place to watch videos of abortion survivors, mothers who chose to keep their baby or give it up for adoption, ect.
I try to keep politics off of my channel, and all of this is problem the closest I've ever come to saying something that can be construed as "political" in a description... Margaret Sanger founded Planned Parenthood to exterminate those she referred to as "human weeds". She was an awful human being in many ways. If you look at statistics, African American mothers are five times more likely to abort, and more are aborted than born alive. It's really heartbreaking.

ANYWAY, October Baby is about a nineteen year old who got pregnant and chose to have an abortion. It was back in 1991, and I guess she didn't have an ultrasound before, so the next day she went back to the clinic and was in labor. She was driven to the hospital and delivered twins on October 7th. The boy (Jonathon) was completely missing his arm because of the procedure. After staying in the NICU for a long time, Hannah was able to go home, but Jonathon died at four months old in the NICU.
The story of the parents who adopted both of them... She was pregnant with twins but had a miscarriage. Hannah and Jonathon would have been the exact same age. They had been left at the hospital and their biological mother changed her name and was long gone, so they were up for adoption, hence the reason that they were their miracle.
The movie is about Hannah finding out she was adopted and what happened. She goes to the closed hospital and ends up finding the nurse who had performed the abortion, who told her that's what happened... She also finds out then that she had a twin brother. The nurse is able to give Hannah her mother's real name, and she goes to meet her. She finds out her mom got married and had another baby (she looks like 4 years old, idk, but she's her sister), and she says she doesn't know anything about Hannah and kinda just brushers her off.
... Hannah forgives her biological mom, reconciles her relationship with her parents after finding out they'd kept so much from her, and then starts dating Jason (I ship it askdjfhksjhf) and goes to college.
The nurse who performed the abortion had quit afterwards, but she becomes a nurse that helps in the maternity ward (that makes me so happy), and Hannah's biological mother tells her husband about her twin babies (which makes me cry too (literally crying rn rewatching that scene) because he just hugs her and asdhfjk).
It's an amazing movie and I definitely recommend watching it at least once! I've probably watched it twenty times, and I've cried nearly every single time.

So yeah... As usual, my description here is a lot, kinda venting. I try to keep stuff like this off of my YouTube channel, but I'm over that now. I want to take a stand for what I believe online too, not just in real life. I probably still won't say much, especially about politics (you can make an educated guess lol).
