Romantic Comedy "Obvious Child" Offers Groundbreaking Cinematic Take on Abortion

The romantic comedy "Obvious Child" is one of the most talked-about films at this year's Sundance Film Festival in Utah. The film stars former Saturday Night Live cast member Jenny Slate as Donna Stern, a Brooklyn comedian who speaks openly about sexuality and other taboo topics on stage. When Donna gets pregnant, she decides to have an abortion. While one in three women in the United States will have an abortion, the topic is rarely dealt with in films. "Obvious Child" has been hailed as the first romantic comedy about abortion, but it is much more than that.
