| ‘Unplanned' Shows That Witnessing An Ultrasound Can Change Everything |
| 2019-03-30 |
| [The Federalist] "Unplanned" is the true story of Abby Johnson, formerly one of America’s youngest Planned Parenthood clinic directors. A vocal pro-choice advocate, she oversaw the abortion of around 22,000 babies in her time with the organization and was a rising star until she witnessed an ultrasound-guided abortion and everything changed. "Unplanned" opens in theaters on March 29 and follows Johnson from her time in college, where she has two abortions and meets her first husband, through her time at Planned Parenthood, to her court fight with the abortion giant after her resignation. The film is based on her best-selling book and is distributed by the same company that released "God’s Not Dead" and "The Case for Christ." RATINGS, THE MPAA, AND VIEWER DISCRETION "Unplanned" received an R rating, causing quite a stir online. The distributor handling the movie is best known for movies that the whole family can see, so when a rating was released that will cut out large parts of families people were quick to worry that politics, not prudence, motivated it. Media bias against pro-life activists isn’t anything new, so it’s entirely fair for people to be concerned that "Unplanned" would be targeted. Another pro-life movie was released last year and received a PG-13 rating from the MPAA. This movie was "Gosnell: the Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer." Subject to an incredible amount of media blackouts and censorship, it focused on the life and ill-deeds of an abortionist from Philadelphia. Having the two very different films to contrast, side by side, presents a very compelling picture of the abortion industry and the dangers women face in clinics. |

| #3 I've always thought we should demand ultrasounds before an abortion, and if you can see the baby in the ultrasound you can actually make an educated decision. |

| #1 Miserable little f-wad, Jack Dorsey: Twitter SUSPENDS account of pro-life movie… on the weekend of their release I look forward to the day someone lets Mr. Dorsey know, up close, personal and with extreme prejudice, how he is appreciated. |
