* InformedFlaw: Hannah is a survivor of a botched abortion, and is said to have depression, epilepsy, asthma, and a childhood full of hip surgeries. Throughout the film she never exhibits any symptoms of the first two, never uses the inhaler after a couple of scenes in the opening act, and doesn't walk with any sign of a limp (and in fact spends hours dragging around a heavy suitcase).

* GoodGirlsAvoidAbortionGoodGirlsAvoidAbortion: The main Aesop of the film. Hannah's birth mother (the film's '[[DesignatedVillain villain]]') tried to abort her, but it got botched and she was put up for adoption instead. She's portrayed as a cold, selfish woman and the film is fairly blatant in its 'pro life' stance.

The story concerns Hannah (Rachel Hendrix), a 19-year-old college student who learns from her parents Jacob (John Schneider) and Grace (Jennifer Price) that not only was she adopted, but also an abortion survivor. This shakes Hannah to the core, prompting her to go GeneHunting with the help of her friend Jason (Jason Burkey). The film, despite receiving a limited release, has made a splash with conservative Christian audiences, in part due to its pro-life stance and religious elements. Mainstream reviewers and audiences, on the other hand, balked at the film, with some calling it exploitative and dangerous in its message. Simply put, YourMileageMayVary.
