Citizen Ruth plot

"Life, liberty, money and the pursuit of happiness. She's gotta have it."

Homeless girl Ruth Stoops is pregnant for the fifth time when she is arrested for drug use. In exchange for a light sentence, she promises the judge to have her unborn child 'removed'. But in her cell, Ruth is confronted by four anti-abortion activists who were arrested during a demonstration. They offer Ruth shelter until her baby is born. But that was just not the intention. Before she realizes it, Ruth is elevated to a symbol of the anti-abortion lobby. Things really get out of hand when the women of the boss-in-your-belly movement also want to put the naive Ruth in their favour.
