What October Baby Gets Wrong About Modern Womanhood

The film?s protagonist is Hannah, a college student with an array of physical and mental problems who discovers her birth mother (Shari Rigby) attempted to abort her at 24 weeks. Salon described the unlikely circumstances of this botched procedure as akin to ?being struck by lightning and eaten by a shark at the same time,? and the same could be said for the events that then lead Hannah to track down her biological mother. They involve her arrest by a kind and exceedingly helpful cop, and her tracking down the nurse who remembers with remarkable precision the details of Hannah?s birth almost two decades earlier. But equally unbelievable is the film?s two-dimensional portrayal of Hannah?s biological mother, a tough-minded striver who sought a late-term abortion at 18 because, as the abortion nurse recalls, ?she had to go to school, she had to have a career.?
