公民露丝的剧情介绍,一名怀孕的吸毒女子在是否堕胎之间左右为难。影片中没有绝对正面的人物,佩恩以一种不计后果的勇气和甚至有些刻毒的嘲讽对堕胎这一事件上的双方都进行了挖苦——在这场上升到意识形态领域的争执中,个体生命是最终被忽视和被牺牲的。尽管喜剧元素有些夸张过火,但佩恩犀利敏锐的社会讽刺和出色的幽默感却在影片中初露峥嵘。也是从这部电影开始,佩恩和吉姆·泰勒进行合作编剧。

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...
