Movie Review

‘October Baby’ offers antiabortion message, Lifetime style

By Mark Feeney

*1/2 October Baby Hannah, a 19-year-old college student (Rachel Hendrix), discovers that her longstanding health problems come of her having been delivered prematurely because of a failed abortion. She sets off in search of her birth mother. The explicitly anti-abortion theme aside, this is basically a Lifetime movie waiting not to happen. Jasmine Guy, as a nurse, seems to be from another, far superior film. (106 min., PG-13) (Mark Feeney)
