The Order of Rights is a pro-life film. The story centers around Emma Stein, a
pregnant single girl who has been advised by her mother to have an abortion.
Despite the objection of the child’s father, Ethan Carpenter, and his promise
to help her, she decides to go ahead with the procedure. When Ethan and his
family file a lawsuit on behalf of the child’s right to life, the drama
escalates as Emma’s mother, Kerri, contacts a friend in the Associated Press.
Before long, the case is mired in media frenzy. The court has to decide whether
the child in Emma’s womb is a person or not, and if so, if it is endowed with
the unalienable rights as enumerated in the Declaration of Independence. The
title, “Order of Rights” refers to the order in which the categories of rights
are deliberately listed in the document: Life, Liberty and Pursuit of
Happiness. (website)
My Review:The film started a bit slow, but built to a compelling story that kept my attention. Both sides were presented, and no graphic images were used that could be upsetting to viewers. Not ALL aspects & arguments of either side of the issue were presented, yet this makes "The Order of Rights" perfect as a door opener to conversation. I am a huge fan of films that make me think and this is a movie I can add to that list.
I only rented the film to view but this is definitely going to be a movie I will purchase on DVD for my personal library, and most likely another copy for my church library. I highly recommend it to all, no matter what your personal view is because we need to start listening to each other instead of having closed minds. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Congratulations to the cast and crew!
