The movie "If These Walls Could Talk" is a thrilling drama that spans 22 years in three different time periods: 1952, 1974, and 1996, all set within the same house. It follows the plights of three women, Claire Donnelly, a widowed nurse living in suburban Chicago, who becomes pregnant by her brother-in-law and decides to undergo an abortion in order not to hurt her late husband's family. However, abortion at the time is strictly illegal. Claire eventually finds another nurse who provides her with the phone number of a woman who can find her someone to perform the abortion.

Barbara Barrows, a struggling and aging mother with four children and a night-shift-working policeman husband, discovers she is pregnant, despite having recently gone back to college. She considers abortion with the support of her teenage daughter but ultimately chooses to keep the child.

Christine Cullen, a college student pregnant by a married professor, decides on an abortion when he breaks up with her and only offers her money. After consulting with her roommate she makes an appointment with Dr. Beth Thompson. However, the abortion takes place during a violent protest and, during the actual abortion, an anti-abortion protester walks in and shoots Dr. Thompson immediately after she completes the procedure. Christine comforts Dr. Thompson as the doctor slowly bleeds out.

My favorite character is Barbara Barrows Because She considers abortion with the support of her teenage daughter but ultimately chooses to keep the child. I would recommend this movie to teenage mothers who are considering having abortions. I rate this film 5/5 atars for awesome acting from the cast.
