Both pro-life and pro-choice camps are lampooned in this satire about pregnant addict Ruth Stoops (Laura Dern) who becomes a pawn for both groups. After a judge gives her a choice of jail or an abortion, zealots on either side try to decide Ruth's fate and the fate of her child. Swoosie Kurtz, Mary Kay Place, Kurtwood Smith, Alicia Witt. Alexander Payne directed.
