New film shows both sides of the abortion debate

CARRINGTON, N.D. – In his newly released film, former New England Patriots player Benjamin Watson covers both sides of the abortion debate. In the 90-minute movie, “Divided Hearts of America,” he interviews 30 people, including former presidential candidate, Ben Carson; Martin Luther King Jr.’s niece, Alveda King; several New York state senators who supported abortion rights bills in 2020, and others who offer opposing viewpoints. Watson states, “Many have claimed that Roe v Wade has settled the issue once and for all. But that’s clearly not the case.  

Abortion in America is anything but settled. In fact, the more I’ve looked into this controversial topic, the more unsettled I’ve become.” The movie will look at abortion’s history, asking tough questions, offering logic, reason, compassion and hope. The movie will be shown on Monday, March 22 at 7 p.m. at Calvary Baptist Church in Carrington, with refreshments to follow. The event is being sponsored by the local Life Savers’ group, the local Ministerial Association, Central City H2O and H&J Machining. Questions regarding the event can be directed to Angela Boeshans at (701) 650-8857.
