The 40 film presents abortion as the most important human and civil rights issue of our time.
40 gives voice to both sides fairly and lets women speak for themselves through experience on the reasons for their
firm convictions about abortion. 40 highlights well-reasoned arguments by numerous prominent feminists
against the pro-choice position and provides heartfelt testimonies from post-abortive women and men.
Attorney Kelsey Hazzard, president of Secular Pro-Life who’s also featured in the 40 film, says you can bring
your pro-choice friends to see this movie. “Does 40 have an agenda? Well, it’s distributed by an outfit called Pro-Life Champions, so obviously
the answer is yes. But that agenda does not saddle the film with cheesy narratives nor does the film caricature pro-choicers.
And the many post-abortive women featured in the film are portrayed with great respect and compassion.”
