Citizen Ruth (1996) follows the tumultuous journey of Ruth Stoops, a destitute individual who relies on inhaling glue and paint to cope with her harsh reality. Her life takes a dramatic turn when she finds herself pregnant for the fifth time. A judge issues an ultimatum: undergo an abortion or face severe legal consequences. Enter Gail Stoney, a pro-life advocate whose husband leads the local "Babysavers" organization. Gail takes Ruth under her wing, inadvertently pulling her into the heated debate between pro-choice and pro-life factions. Both sides vie for Ruth's allegiance, using her as a symbol to sway public opinion, leading to an escalating conflict.
