Logically, a man lighting fireworks & shooting them into a tree full of birds with a bow & arrow would logically take out a few of them, it's never so much as implied it does.

In a way, yes. One character makes it a point to only eat junk food, citing the reason that she believes she’ll be better off once her body gives out. She later admits to another character that she didn’t mean it.

There are babies shown in a nursery.
A female character is mother to a child who is shown when he's about a year old.
A female character is shown 9 months pregnant and going into labor, but the movie ends before she even gets to the hospital, but it's assumed she does. The credits roll as she's being driven there.

A female character gives birth to a little boy, but it's not shown. You just see her pregnant and then you are introduced to the child long after the fact. Another pregnant female character is seen in begining labor pains and is shown being driven to the hospital, but the movie ends before the birth.

A gay character lies to his family and claims he's dying before coming out to them. The event is retold by other characters as a funny way of putting the shocking news in perspective.

A female character is shown in a bathtub, but you don't see any nudity.
There's a scene in a men's football locker room and you see numerous nude men from behind. No genitalia is shown.
