The Order of Rights

Overview

Emma Stein faces a life-altering decision when her mother pressures her to terminate her pregnancy. Despite the support of the child’s father, Ethan Carpenter, who promises to stand by her, Emma chooses to go through with the abortion. Tensions rise when Ethan's family sues for the unborn child's right to life, prompting Emma’s mother, Kerri, to involve a friend from the Associated Press. As the legal battle gains media attention, the court must confront the fundamental question of whether the fetus is a person deserving of the rights outlined in the Declaration of Independence.
