Are you a writer? I have, for a long time, had an idea for a movie similar to this one. I haven't fully developed it (hopefully some day) - but here are the main story components. It's main theme is abortion and politics, as well.


**We are at the point where some states have banned abortion completely, and abortions are performed secretly and illegally.

**We are dangerously close to having Roe v Wade overturned. And the Supreme court is set to vote.

**There are several Supreme Court judges who are very right wing anti-abortionists - and who have college-aged female children/grandchildren - who are portrayed as shy, weak and controlled by their father/grandfather.

**There is a group of young pro-choice activists - perhaps driven by a personal abortion related tragedy. They hire a couple male gigolos to woo the females and impregnate them. They don't even know why they are doing it...but perhaps figure it out at some point...or perhaps fall for one of the girls?

**This all sets up the dilemmas - To have an abortion or not. To vote for or against. i envision one of the girls committing suicide over it, just like in this movie - but with a fully developed plot about the judge's beliefs and control in their life.

Whatta ya think??
