This film feels very much like something that is shown to preteens and teens in youth group at church; it's targeted to a very specific, prolife demographic that works to convince women in continuing their pregnancies so as not to make Jesus cry.
Jesus being a janitor feels like a steal from Bruce Almighty - I recognize that Morgan Freeman was God, but it's literally the same profession. He also appears white/Caucasian, which we all know to be historically impossible.
There is definitely some misinformation about fetal development and how these kinds of clinics are run. The portrayal of a woman clutching her man in the waiting room or staff members pulling her aside to offer their two cents isn't realistic. "Seeing" the baby was totally cringe and not at all what this would have looked like in utero at the time of development.
I understand that abortion isn't for everyone. But it can save lives. This film would have you believe differently through a Christian leaning lens.

Alison's Choice is one of the most important movies ever made. How many movies can literally be responsible for saving a life? Alison's Choice is such a movie and if you haven't followed this film's production you should know that it has already saved lives! That kind of power goes far beyond the qualities of the productions you'll see on IMDb's top 250 movies list!
That is not to say that Alison's Choice is in any way lacking in production quality, though. This is Bruce Marchiano's masterpiece. He wrote the incredibly moving and powerful script and brought that script to life from the director's chair in his directorial debut all while giving another touching and memorable performance in the role of Jesus. One cannot help but be moved by the passion Bruce had for this project.
Chanel Marriott also gives a wonderful performance in the role of Alison. She perfectly captures a combination of self-righteousness, anger and rationalization with a blend of sorry, fear and despair. It should be apparent to anyone viewing this film that this fantastic young actress certainly has a bright future ahead of her.
The soundtrack is excellent and plays a vital role throughout the entire film. There are moments that will make you cry and there are other moments that will make you smile or laugh and that is quite a feat considering the serious topic being addressed in the movie.
Overall Alison's Choice is one of the best movies I've ever seen and I hope many women faced with the same choice as Alison in the movie watch this before making their decisions. Bruce Marchiano deserves considerable credit for making a pro-life film that does not come off as preachy or judgmental. There's just a very well made story about Christ's unending love, passion, grace and mercy for all of His children.

The idea of this movie is great , convincing a mom to choose life for her baby, but using bad theology won't help. I found this very disrespectful to God Almighty. God talks to us through His word NOT through friendly visits like those of a janitor.
They should have used the truths in the Bible. Much more effective.

Hate the sin, but love love love the sinner
God has unwavering love for us people making difficult choices. His love won't diminish if we make a bad choice but there will be consequences.

This is about a young girl, who is lost in decision making. Following her boyfriend's wanting her to make the choice to do something leaving him out of any responsibility, ( showing the coward that he is) he recommend her to do something that is a hard choice which can cost her, her whole life.
I find it very important to share this with others. For a women to really understand the Results later. Either going through the process or living after the process.
The choices are yours. The living after the choices one makes, has consequences. Not only to the body but your mind.
Recommendation, highly to watch this movie.
