Quote:
"If the film does have a Western ethnocentric perspective, it is clearest in the contrast between the sequences that deal with abortion in the West—the ones constructed in part as fiction—and those located in the underdeveloped world in which the point of view is that of an intrepid Margaret Mead, anthropological and distanced, consolidated by the relentless presence of voice-over."
-- Brenda Longfellow
