This is an interesting and at times funny satire of the opposing stands on the issue of abortion. While never taking sides and equally poking fun at both the pro-choice and pro-life factions, the abortion issue remains unresolved, much like that of the society in which we live. Some of the characterizations are a little too overboard, but for the most part they work very well. Ruth is a very frustrating character, but her slow take on the views and her wanting to make her own choices even though she isn't the most educated person adds much to her character. While some will obviously be offended by a film that finds humor in a serious issue such as abortion, I thought it was well done and should make people better understand the never-ending issue of pro-choice vs. pro-life without force-feeding a biased opinion of pop culture to the viewer. I am a believer in pro-choice because I feel it is a women's right to chose what she does to her body. "Citizen Ruth" validated that for me. It showed Ruth to be the epitome of a bad citizen, who would utterly ruin her child's life mentally, physically, and emotionally. Ruth is also a kind of person you wouldn't want to give yet another choice/ chance to because she is so ungrateful to the overly nice and dedicated family who took her in without making her feel guilty, and she never really quite learns her lesson and takes responsibility for her actions. The good citizen pro-life people that are so passionate about their beliefs in an almost cradling way, made
