but love and hate are nearly the same thing, Tin (spoiler)

If you don't care about someone, you can neither love nor hate them.
Indifference is the opposite of both love and hate.
I don't think the abortion scene is anything to do with the issue of abortion amongst the religious right, isn't it in the book?
The film is taken from a book isn't it?
I thought De Caprio's character's faults were writ large throughout as he stands in for the great American male stereotype of the postwar period becoming almost irrelevant to Winslett's character whilst she represents the awakening of "consciousness" amongst American women.
The film is effectively the backdrop to the changes that have happened since the start of the 60s.
Just my take.
