Regnum Christi: 40 A Wakeup Call for the United States

I used to work at a Catholic crisis pregnancy center several years ago. Every day, while answering the phone lines, I would ask God in prayer to end abortion in this country during my lifetime. After seeing a screening of a new prolife documentary March 9 at the Emagine Theater in Rochester Hills, Michigan, I am hopeful God may answer that prayer with a “Yes!”

I’m talking about 40. Promotional fliers passed out during the event described this film as “one of the most powerful prolife films ever made.” After seeing it, I have to agree. Billed as a “wake up call for our country,” the documentary is about what has happened in the United States since the 40th anniversary (last year) of the fateful Supreme Court decision, Roe versus Wade, beginning what the film calls “the most important fundamental human rights issue of our time.” As its promotional material states, the film “answers pro-choice arguments and documents significant changes that occurred in the (pro-life) movement.”
