She took pills that would terminate the pregnancy.

I didn't understand how or why she decided to adopt the lifestyle she did after leaving home. Maybe she was just easily influenced and got involved with the wrong crowd. I was also wondering if she just ran off after she lost her pregnancy or if she told her parents she was leaving. Her dad did not seem to have any idea where she lived when she called him. I'm also wondering if real preachers want their kids be home schooled because there is no prayer allowed in schools. I know a lot of people are really upset about that and I just wonder if that's a major reason why parents choose to home school.

Because they're ignorant, uneducated Kool-Aid drinkers under the thumb of some charlatan with a reversed collar.

Hi, Cathy, I don't know all preachers, pastors or ministers but the ones I know have children that attend public (or private schools). To be honest, I've never heard that preachers don't want their children in school because of lack of prayer. Again the ones I know teach their children to have a relationship with God and function outside of the church building.

That's interesting.

I have some really nice kool-aid for you, there might be a slightly bitter aftertaste though...

Yeah, that was one of the dumbest most RW post I've seen in a while. Newsflash: You can pray in school!! This is just a lie perpetuated by crazy RWers. I thought christians were not supposed to bear false witness? But instead they are so stupid sometimes and getting drunk on the kool-aid that they have lost the ability to think, assuming they could think before.

She took pills given her by some creepy stranger who sidled up in a parking lot--and they worked? Give me a break. That whole part and what followed was unclear.

Lake, I think they were trying to, though unsuccessfully, to build up suspense and it turned out to be just lacking in information! They built this movie up to be something it wasn't.

The outcome certainly was NOT clear. I was afraid the pills given her by that creep would either make her very sick or kill her. It was much TOO late for "morning after" pill. Anything she took later in pregnancy would give her terrible cramps or do nothing at all, yet she just wandered down to the kitchen the following morning, and appeared fine, and seemed to take some pills of one her parents. The movie kept jumping back and forth in time. I thought towards the end that she ended up having the child and would walk back to her parents' house and be greeted by a very small child. It is certainly VERY misleading and even dangerous to think you could get pills from a creepy stranger and EASILY end a pregnancy.
I would give this movie a "0."

Was her taking 2 pills from her parent's pill bottle an attempt at suicide? They didn't show her taking any more pills. Did she try to drown herself in the baptismal pool because she felt guilty for aborting or because she was pregnant? We'll never know, will we.

I have heard news stories about women going to Mexico and getting pills to terminate pregnancies since it's getting more difficult to get a legal abortion in the U.S. But I don't think drug dealers go around selling them. At least that is not the impression I have gotten from the news reports about it. But they do say the pills are dangerous and all the side effects are unknown and they may or may not work to terminate the pregnancies.
