The film, from writer-director <\/span>Nick Loeb (who also stars), tells the mostly unknown story of the factors that played into the 1973 ruling the legalized abortion throughout America. Besides Loeb, as abortion proponent-turned-abortion abolitionist Dr. Bernard Nathanson, the all-star cast includes Jon Voight as Chief Justice Warren Burger, John Schneider as Justice Byron White, Steve Guttenberg as Justice Lewis Powell, Robert Davi as Justice William Brennan and Corbin Bernsen as Justice Harry Blackmun. The film also stars Stacey Dash, Jamie Kennedy, Joey Lawrence and Tom Guiry. I&#8217;ll have more about the movie as the release date approaches.

Naturally, sparks fly between the unlikely couple who inspire each other to find the strength to be true to themselves. But when forces surrounding Beckett\u2019s stardom threaten to crush their dreams, Finley must decide what she is willing to risk for love. Based on the book <em>&#8220;There You\u2019ll Find Me&#8221; <\/em>by Jenny B.
