This is a well-written article. I agree that Children of Men is, overall, an implicitly pro-life movie. Unfortunately, I have to add a caveat to that. There's a scene in which Jasper, who is portrayed as a positive but not saintly character, "compassionately" ends the life of his disabled wife (offscreen) before their home is invaded. (Is that part in the book?) I don't think that makes the whole film immoral, but it is definitely a problem. I still think that it's a good movie and I do recommend it.
