I don’t think the word “abortion” is used in the film, and it’s not even alluded to until the final scenes.
Unlike recent documentaries such as 180 and Blood Money, wonderful though they are, Doonby uses narrative — storytelling — to approach the issue obliquely.
In fact, for the first 95% of the film, you think you’re watching a well-meaning low-budget thriller about a mysterious guy who shows up in a town and causes a bit of a stir.
You wonder where it’s going, but even if you know it’s a pro-life movie, you’re surprised, delighted, and moved by the way it ends.

‘Comfortable Words’ is an eccentric blend of English culture, classical music, conservative politics, and the Orthodox Christian faith.
The Lord’s Prayer
OUR Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive as debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. Amen.
