...ANNIE LEIBOVITZ Clever though they may be, Leibovitz's celebrity portraits can sometimes remind you of an armored car: big, heavyset and built for serious business. In this book of pictures taken from 1990 to 2005, the celebrity pics, with their industrial-strength charm, are back--the naked and pregnant Demi Moore, Brad Pitt languishing on an orange bedspread--but there are informal family shots as well, like one of her brother and father, below, and many pictures of her longtime beloved, the writer Susan Sontag, even as the ailing Sontag ventures toward death. Leibovitz's unflinching final portrait...
Apocalypto, set in 16th century Latin America, is more of the problematic same. By dawn's early light, a brutish Maya war party falls upon an Edenic jungle village--murder, rape and enslavement their goal. Among their captives is Jaguar Paw who, having hidden his pregnant wife and firstborn, narrowly escapes--a little divine intervention here--having his heart cut out by the Maya high priests.

...Most people have no problem with pain being part of the abortion discussion: a Zogby poll found that 77% of the public supported the idea of giving pregnant women information about fetal pain. Even NARAL Pro-Choice America, issued a statement saying it would not oppose the measure: "Pro-choice Americans have always believed that women deserve access to all the information relevant to their reproductive health decisions. For some women, that includes information related to fetal anesthesia options...
