Laura Dern is a Candide-like innocent - only she's a bad drug addict - who finds herself caught between two equally nutty pro and anti abortion groups. Actually. she's not dumb either, as sub-plot with self-education tapes (picked up on right in the end of the end credits) proves. Nuanced film manages not to make complete fun of either side. The father (Kurtwood Smith) clearly fancies the girl, the mother's child is ' a miracle', though the elder daughter finds this hilarious, the pro-abortion women (Swoosie Kurtz and Kelly Preston) are gay moon-lovers, Vietnam vet takes exception to any more deaths...
With Kenneth Mars (doctor). Mary Kay Place. M.C. Gainey, Katheleen Noone (nurse), Burt Reynolds, Tippi Hedren, Alicia Witt.
Rolfe Kent (music) and Kevin Tent (cutting) began their relationship with Payne here. Payne hadn't found Phedon Papamichael yet - the cameraman is James Glennon (son of Bert). Jim Taylor co-wrote.
