During the rainy weekend here in Washington D.C., I flipped through the instant movies on Netflix and landed on a movie called "Carolina." The movie focuses on the importance of family, no matter how quirky that family might be, and features Shirley MacLaine as the eccentric matriarch grandmother. What struck me about this movie was that during a flashback we see that MacLaine saved her granddaughter's life by preventing her son's girlfriend from having an abortion.
