I watched “Woman King” the other day, and I truly enjoyed it. It is the very best antiabortion movie ever made!
Lots of beautiful and ugly women among the Agojie warrior women. Every one of them great dancer and athlete, performing the dances and battle scenes flawlessly. As protrade in the movie their warrior (boot camp?) school graduation trial was way worse than our Marine’s Crucible. Instead of having to crawl under razor wire with a machinegun shooting over their heads, they had to race through 100 or more feet of a bramble made of thorn trees limbs, after getting through that they had to climb a shear 30-40 foot wood log, no rope, and come down the other side. Once down they had to fight themselves through a series of much larger men.
Where does the antiabortion preaching come in? Nanisca, who was to become the Woman King, had flashbacks all through the movie of being raped, we learn, that although abortion was not an option she could not bear the thought of raising her rapist’s child, so she had her BFF find a home for the girl child. However, for whatever reason, she cut a gash in the baby’s upper bake and put a small shark’s tooth in it.
The girl, Izogie, grew up, and will not marry the men her ‘father’ was trying to get her married off to. This pissed him off, so he took her and gave her to the King. Cutting this story way short, she became one of the King’s Warriors, and just before the great battle with Oba Ade, her rapist, Nanisca found the tooth that she had put in Izogie’s back.
In one of the fights to deliver Oba Ade the heads of his messengers Izogie disobeyed Nanisca’s orders to leave and in so doing was able to save Nanisca’s life.
So, here is the unwanted baby from a rape coming into the life of the mother who did not want her and saving her life. What is the exception to abortions that are almost always acceptable? Rape and incest, right?
The baby regardless of how it was conceived is never worthy of death just because of who conceived it.
