Two box office successes this summer, Waitress and Knocked Up, feature main characters that are pregnant. Both are unmarried. Both are less than thrilled with their pregnancies. Both have their babies.
<O:p</O:p
Somehow this is a problem for The Washington Post film critic Ann Hornaday, who wrote in her July 15 piece (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/13/AR2007071300370.html), “It’s a setup that has some viewers, especially women who came of age in a post-Roe v. Wade America, wondering just what world these movies are living in.”

<O:pHornaday and other feminist, pro-abortion journalists just can’t fathom a world – the real world – where some people, regardless of marital status, will choose to exercise personal responsibility and carry a pregnancy to term. Will choose to give birth to the human being growing within them. Will choose life.
<O:p</O:p
Lots of people are doing it, Ann. In the real world and in the movies.

This article cuts to the chase of why Unholywood and its ilk are completely out of touch with middle America! In the "real" America, (you know, flyover country) people make stupid mistakes but actually have the courage to take responsibility for them, not throw them in a bio-hazard container.
