Right to Life: Christian Film “Come What May”
Roe v Wade was a colossal mistake, creating a right that never existed. Because of the precedent set, other mistakes can more easily follow, as interpreters of the Constitution rather than implementers, redefine morality and reconstruct our laws.
I applaud these students and Advent Film, for this DVD as described below:
Debate teams representing the 300 students at Patrick Henry College have won the Moot Court national debate crown twice in the school’s eight-year existence, and they’ve defeated debating bastion Oxford twice, including once in England using UK laws, but now they’re reaching higher.They are hoping that real life will imitate their art.Combining with Advent Film Group, the Virginia evangelical school’s debaters are featured in a new film presenting arguments that one day could be used to overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that found a right to abortion in the U.S. Constitution.“Come What May,” which already has been shown to packed houses in Grants Pass, Ore., and Harrisonburg, Va., is available now on DVD.In the movie, Caleb, a Christian student attending Patrick Henry, is caught in a moral tug-of-war as he challenges Roe v. Wade at the National Moot Court Championship. At the same time, the character’s mother, a feminist attorney, argues the case at the U.S. Supreme Court, but on the opposing side.The microbudget project – essentially created with a volunteer team of students advised by a handful of movie professionals – already has had half a dozen offers for distribution, according to George Escobar of Advent Film Group.“Our intention is that people see the compelling arguments for overturning Roe v. Wade if there are the right Supreme Court justices on the bench,” he said.
