More on Knocked Up and Abortion

I thoroughly enjoyed this post by Alex Massie which discusses the “controversy” regarding the politics of abortion and the film Knocked Up.  I’ve blogged about this before, and find it to be a fascinating topic, and this post covers it all.  Really, it’s so well-written and thought out that I wish I’d written it myself. 

He discusses some of the reactions from various bloggers and pundits, manages to work in an interesting discussion of The 40 Year Old Virgin (which is one of the more thought-provoking responses to that film I’ve ever read), and even extrapolates it out to some larger point about politics in film generally.

It’s quite long, but well worth the read, so check it out.
