After Tiller is not an important film just because of its political and cultural relevance, but because of its humane and compassionate approach to telling the stories of these doctors, their work and the women that they seek to help. Read full review

Filmmakers Martha Shane and Lana Wilson, whose profiles in courage are sympathetic but not adulatory, have crafted an absorbing, thoughtful report. Read full review

After Tiller is groundbreaking in giving voice not only to the doctors, but to those who always seem to get overlooked in the high-volume political debate about this topic: the women themselves. Read full review

I usually don't do this kinda stuff but I had to. After tiller is a horrible movie and I would most definatly not recommend it to anyone. Oh and somehow it's okay to kill innocent babies just so the woman can live how she wants to?
