Abortion rights advocates were thrilled with how the film portrayed abortion. They even called it the “gold standard” for cinematic portrayals of abortion. The author Yannis Tzioumakis also remarked that a “compassionate depiction of abortion in which the woman seeking an abortion was not demonized with the primary concerns being her health and preserving her capacity to bear children at a future time rather than the ethical dilemma that might or might not inform her decision, a portrayal that is not necessarily available in current films.”
