Connecting the Dots on "October Baby" and CPCs
Last week, I told you about "October Baby," a new movie that's generating a lot of buzz.
The filmmakers claim "October Baby" is just a coming-of-age story with no political agenda.
That's an interesting claim, given the filmmakers' ties to extreme right-wing groups like the American Family Association and Focus on the Family. The filmmakers even did screenings of "October Baby" to help support the Mississippi's failed "personhood" initiative.
What's more, 10 percent of the profits from "October Baby" go to fund organizations that match the description of anti-choice "crisis pregnancy centers" (CPCs)--facilities that regularly deceive and lie to women seeking abortion care.
Whether someone wants to make a film with a political bias is not the issue. The point is that American moviegoers have the right to know whether their ticket dollars are going to fund organizations that mislead women.
That's why we're calling for a meeting with Doug Morris, the CEO of Sony Music Entertainment. (Provident Films, the distributor of "October Baby," is a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment.)
We want to educate Mr. Morris' company about the danger CPCs pose to women's health.
CPCs rely on secrecy and deception in their efforts to trick women. They're counting on people not knowing how they really operate.
That's why it's so important that we get the word out.
Sign our letter to Doug Morris today! The American people deserve to know if their money's going to CPCs.

Thank you for exposing these types of activities.
Thank you for this article. I will not go watch the movie anyway. I fully support women’s right, all over the world, to choose and decide when to give birth to their children. It is a woman’s choice and should be respected.
Excuse me, but NARAL appears to be the one who is anti-choice. Or have I mis-read Planned Parenthood's ratio of abortions to adoption referrals? To you, anything other than an abortion is an un-acceptable choice. Guess what? Millions of women disagree with you, as did Susan B. Anthony, widely regarded as America's first true feminist. I suggest your reader check out Feminists for Life for a counter-perspective. Pro-life (NOT anti-choice) people believe that EVERY innocent life is worth saving, from the point of conception through natural death. Think about this - if NASA announced that they had found a living microbe on another planet, the headlines would be screaming that life had been found. How ironic that nascent human life doesn't have the same respect.
As I already consider CPCs and the anti-abortion extreme a collection of vile terrorists and quack pseudomedics who should be sued into oblivion, I will be boycotting the 'October Baby' movie. I support contraceptives including Plan B and RU486, Family Planning, easy adoption access, and research into artificial gestation, embryo transfer, and surrogate pregnancy support, in order to reduce the total need for abortion without having to 'ban' anything.
Hmm... CPCs support EVERY choice except the SINGLE choice to take away an entire lifetime of CHOICES.
Yeah, that really makes them "anti-choice"...
Planned Parenthood has been caught NUMEROUS times lying to their customers, and even aiding and abetting child-sex-trafficking and prostitution. Look up "Planned Parenthood Exposed" if you'd like to see the proof.
Your holocaust is coming to an end, and I see that you're scared... But spreading lies and fear-mongering about clinics that actually HELP women and their children isn't going to help your cause.
Get over yourselves, and learn to THINK.
Thank you for the info. I have no problem with any religion, except the ones that insist on impacting every aspect of my life with their narrow views. 'It's a child not a choice', and it's a child with no choice, to be brought into an unwanted, inhospitable world, where most kids spend 18 years NOT being adopted and being sent from foster home to foster home, until they 'age' out and get to spend their adulthood feeling unwanted and rejected.
God gave us the means to plan our lives, to be the most loving parents we can be, and I will not let the church take that away from women.
The only argument that is used by ant-abotions is religious
dogma .The law says abortion is legal and medically safe.
The use of the bible to aid the right wing women haters
War on women never stops . I had 2 children before birth
Control was possible. That was two I could not give the nice home the clothes ,things needed to keep them from being bullied in school one of my children is legally blind. We must keep abortion
with in reach and and affordable .
I think the women going against other women is for a pat on the head from a man.

OK I need some detail. Walk me through the process. I don't understand how to line up the cards with the info on the screen. So step by step please.
I am using my brand new Brother HL2280DW printer.
I hope Doug has the cajones to stand up to the communists at NARAL and Planned Parenthood. SONY has shown itself to be among the mainstream in supporting and funding this project.
No more killing children--it's pro-women.
These comments above are an absolute joke! quote from above: " it's a child with no choice, to be brought into an unwanted, inhospitable world, where most kids spend 18 years NOT being adopted and being sent from foster home to foster home, until they 'age' out and get to spend their adulthood feeling unwanted and rejected." REALLY! Then why don't we just ASK the kids in the foster care system..."Anna....would you like to grow up, never be adopted, and feeling unwanted and rejected.... or would you rather I take a high pressure vaccum and suck your arms and legs off of your body and jab the back of your skull with a spear to suck your brain out..? Hmmm Which option do you think she would choose... right... she doesn't get a choice....
Nutmeg - you are a lost cause....
It's incredible how NARAL is so intollerant of LIFE. Question: does an abortion cause the end of a heartbeat or brein activity? Does the "fetus" feel pain nconsidering that nerves are needed to have a heartbeat or brain activity? Sounds like LIFE to me that is ending--not just a mass of tissue--and at least half were women with rights.
What do CPC's really do? Let's talk about that. They provide a safe, place for a woman to go when she finds herself unexpectedly pregnant...a place where no one is making $400 off of her decision. They give her facts and details and TRUTH about abortion and fetal development that they are not going to get from the abortion industry or NARAL. NARAL is a pro-death organization that doesn't give a ratt's rear end about the WOMEN in the womb or women who NEED help! They don't all want an abortion! Many just need help! Sometimes they are desperate to KEEP their baby and they just need some place to go talk about that where they aren't going to be pressured into an abortion by a bunch of mis-guided, greedy idiots who think legal abortion is the answer to every situation. How 'bout a little charity for the unborn human? How 'bout nine months of kindness so another innocent being can live? We do more to protect our cats than we are willing to give to humans. Naral sucks.
Wow, you gotta love how overwrought this comments section has become with right-wing boneheads. If a fetus is so valuable that it's worth more than its mother, then it's worth more than all of you as well.
