Dana Religion - Plot Hole (Spoiler)

When Dana is told she is pregnant by Tora, Tora references an abortion to which Dana says it's not an option while rubbing the cross around her neck.

I wonder which Christian religion she belongs to that frowns upon abortion but thinks adultery is A-Okay (she was impregnated by Tora's husband).

Where was it suggested that Tora's husband (Duncan) fathered Dana's son?

Actually, I hadn't thought of that, but yes. The men father their own babies, and kill the mothers, so the implication is that her husband was the father.

I think it's fairly clear though that that's not the case. Which is the plot hole. If he's not the father then the baby is not 'superior' Trow - it's just some kid.

Which is the plot hole. If he's not the father then the baby is not 'superior' Trow - it's just some kid.

... unless the father is another Trow, like the other doctor at the hospital, the lawyer or even Guthrie, Sr. She could have been having an affair with any of them. What's a bit odd is that Tora never asks Dana about the father - not even so much as "so ... the father's not in the picture, eh?"

In fact, Dana not mentioning the father at all, let alone marriage (which would be a normal thing to come up in such a discussion) suggests that he's already married, so Guthrie Sr. seems a reasonable possibility and would also make it a closer family connection, obviously.

Her husband isn't Dana's lover. He's still using the contraceptive medication (as we see him inject it early in the movie) and he specifically said they agreed to spare the wife if they "take one of theirs" meaning one of the other men's child.

I didn't see or hear any indication that she and Tora's husband had an affair. Can you tell us why you think so?

Are you the one that submitted this nonsense as a plot hole to goofs section? The only 'goof' here is you. Where in the film did it say that she was impregnated by Tora's husband?

And religious people violate the tenets of their religions all the time. Usually they do so either unintentionally or in the hopes that they won't get caught.

Having sex is one thing, having an abortion is quite another.

Take your head outta your ass.

Duncan couldn't have been the father of Dana's baby. He was taking some magical, non-existent "experimental male contraceptive" that causes any fetus to be miscarried. Remember the conversation when Tora talks about having had four miscarriages? It wasn't as clear as it could have been, but that's what they meant.

In fact, as I said in another post, the baby must have been fathered by another Trow, possibly even Duncan's own father.
