 Ruth Stoops is a poor indigent drug-user (a huffer
- inhaling glue and paint for a high) whose down and out existence is complicated
once more by becoming pregnant (she has had and lost four children already).
When a judge orders that she gets an abortion or face a felony charge, she
is befriended by Gail Stoney, a pro-lifer whose husband is president of the
local "Babysavers" group. Suddenly Ruth is thrust into the middle of the
pro-choice/pro-life struggle, with each side wanting her to take their side
as a "message" to others - and the situation escalates.
