Unplanned is a movie about
the true story of Abby Johnson, who worked at a Texas Planned Parenthood
for eight years before becoming a pro-life activist.. The movie is rated R, but there is no
profanity or nudity. It is now showing
across the country.
Most
networks have refused to run paid advertisements for Unplanned. One of the easiest ways to see the liberal
bias in media is to bring up the subject of abortion.
Some
believe the R rating was intended to hurt the movie’s success.
Some
are pointing out the irony about the R rating.
A 15 year old girl can get an abortion, but she can’t watch a pro-life
movie about abortion.
Unplanned
does show some intense scenes about abortion.
A side of abortion you will probably never see portrayed in the regular
media.
From Baptist
Press:
"The
movie's status as a hit defies logic," Christian film critic Michael Foust
told Baptist Press. "It was rated R -- a rating that automatically makes
it a no-go for many Christians. It's about abortion -- a topic that most
Americans would rather avoid. And its ads were banned on many stations,
including Lifetime, Travel Channel, Cooking Channel, HGTV, Food Network,
Hallmark Channel and USA Networks.
"Most
films would have failed in such a scenario. But the controversy about the
rating and the advertising ban gave it attention it otherwise would not have
received, sparking a backlash among moviegoers who supported it in
droves," Foust said in written comments.
Produced
by Pure Flix, "Unplanned" tells the true story of Abby Johnson's
ascent to become one of the youngest Planned Parenthood clinic directors in
America as well as her subsequent conversion to pro-life views. The film is
based on Johnson's 2011 book of the same title.

It
should also be pointed out Unplanned shows hope and forgiveness for those who
have had an abortion, or been involved in the abortion industry.
If
you want to make a statement against those who have opposed this movie, you can
do so in at least three ways.
First,
go see Unplanned for yourself. I did so yesterday.
Second,
tell others about it.
Third,
pray that our American culture will wake up and turn against the taking of
unborn lives.
Last,
if you’re thinking of getting an abortion, please see this movie first.
