Citizen Ruth Movie Review

Movie Review Citizen Ruth In the movie Citizen Ruth, a woman named Ruth Stoops is an inhalant abusing, poverty-stricken woman who constantly gets arrested.

I also didn’t like the fact that the pro-choice people assumed that she wanted an abortion, and they tried to talk her into having an abortion because they could have said she ”chose” to abort her baby, without really supporting both decisions. Even though this shows they did not care about Ruth as much as they claimed, pro choice does not mean pro-abortion just as pro-life means anti-abortion.
