It is about God's perspective on grace, mercy, restoration, and redemption. On average, 1 in 4 women or more in any church in America has experienced abortion in one way or another and most of them take the secret to their graves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eViable\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e's simple-but-powerful storyline is a passionate portrayal of one woman attempting to protect her own emotions amidst decades of post-abortion trauma. Like millions of women in the United States and around the world, the leading character, Judy, suffers psychologically for three decades from a wound that time alone won't heal until she encounters the redeeming love of Jesus Christ in a most unexpected and unconventional way.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eViable\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e launches a journey of healing and restoration for post-abortive women and men through the love of Jesus Christ. Expressed through the unconditional love of a child, Judy experiences the forgiveness of Jesus and is fully forgiven and set free from self-condemnation.
