No, it wasn't. If she'd already decided to leave, then she'd already decided to leave. That was that.

I agree with Turnbull that a revelation came after the shooting at Tahoe. Up until then, whatever Kay felt her husband was, she could at least look away and shelter her children as best she could. Once bullets were shot into her bedroom where she was lying at the time, then after that was unable to even take her children to New England, I think THAT was the nail in the coffin. THAT was when she decided on both the abortion and leaving Michael. Nothing that happened at the hearings, nothing anyone revealed to her would have changed her mind or even made her more determined to go.

By the way, without even needing to view the film I do recall the moment Kay's eyes shift from the Senator to Michael. Though I wouldn't exactly call it a 'reaction', since third party listeners commonly tend to look from one speaker to the other...if you do need to consider it a reaction then it's certainly your right.
