Recently, Gillian Robespierre and Elisabeth Holm, the brilliantly funny women behind Obvious Child, which is theaters nationwide today, stopped by the Complex studio to talk about the secret charms of the film and why they're annoyed with the movie being talked about as an "abortion rom-com."

One in three women will have an abortion in her lifetime, and, just like Jenny Slate's character, it doesn't define her entire life. Obvious Child focuses on stand-up comedian, Donna, as she, for the first time, tries to figure out truly independent adulthood, after losing her job, her boyfriend, and finding out she's pregnant from a one night stand.
