New horror film ‘The Aborted’ sure to offend

Still several weeks premature of its official birth on the big screen, horror master Max Bremer’s new film “The Aborted” has already drawn high praise and sharp criticism following early screenings.

The film features real-life late-term abortionist George Tiller a.k.a. “Tiller the Killer” playing himself in the role, and depicts the radioactive mutation of discarded, late-term aborted babies into gigantic, razor-toothed, demon-inhabited fetuses bent on matricidal revenge.

While some are using phrases like “instant classic” and “genre masterpiece,” others emerged from the film threatening boycotts and mass protests.

“All I can say is - thanks Mom for not aborting me, ’cause the fetuses are back and man are they pissed!” said one enthused horror fan at the screening.

In one offensive scene, a fetus demon returns to take vengence against it's pro-choice mother.

“The film is beyond offensive,” said abortion-rights activist Ron Bickman of abortemifyougotem.org.

Bickman wasn’t bothered by the gory evisceration scenes, but he did object to the portrayal of abortion doctors as “profit-driven, soulless child-murderers” rather than the “care-giving, birth-avoidance assistants” they actually are.

“The way they represent Dr. Tiller as this stereotypical mad scientist sociopath was outrageous and evil, even if he did play himself,” Bickman said. “Tiller is a champion of mothers’ human rights for God’s sake.”

Film reviewers and bioethicists alike are divided in half on the blood-splattered film, saying its sheer over-the-top grossness renders any possible political or social message “virtually impossible to determine.”

Anti-abortion advocates praise the picture’s stomach-churning, starkly-realistic depiction of the abortion procedure itself, while some pro-choice advocates feel that, at the very least, the film gets the message across to women that giving birth to their children isn’t the only option available to them.

Even so, and despite the fact almost no one has seen the movie, for many it is simply too controversial to bear.

“They’re trying to make abortion out to be something horrible or inhuman instead of a health choice that’s good for women,” said Ingrid Hartley of the National Organization for Women.

“The film seems to take lightly the Supreme Court’s single greatest civil rights achievement and indeed the very measure of our national dignity and human equality. It’s the freedom of abortion,” Hartley said.

But for horror fans like Richie Martin, 17, the film simply wasn’t that complex.

“I just thought that one part when those fetuses all climb into Dr. Tiller’s mouth and then burst out of his stomach while he’s all screaming and shit - that shit was sick!…and AWESOME.”
