“Unplanned,” the captivating story about Abby Johnson, opens in theaters across the country this weekend.
As a college student Abby had a passion to help women. The Planned Parenthood organization made a positive impression on Abby at her college campus and eventually she took a job with them and became their youngest facility director. One year she even became their employee-of-the-year.Â
“Unplanned” is a truly inspirational account, based on Johnson’s 2010 book by the same name. The movie tells the inside story about the abortion industry.
Although the movie has no nudity, profanity, gun violence, or sex scenes, it was given a R-rating. The restricted rating was given to the movie because it briefly showed part of an ultrasound-guided abortion. Many pro-abortion supporters insist that the fetus is not a human being until it is born.
The rating organizations seems to be an admission that abortion is a violent act, which it certainly is, because it destroys human life.Â
A girl, 17 and under, would not be allowed to see this movie unless she was accompanied by an adult. Although, ironically, that same young woman in many cases can get an abortion without her parents’ approval! It would be wise for teens to attend this movie with their parents as a contrast to what they are taught in their public-school sex education classes.
One of the most touching points in Abby’s story is when she is asked to assist in operating the ultrasound machine for an abortionist during a routine abortion procedure, which wasn’t part of her normal job responsibility. She comes face-to-face with the service, which what she has been so willingly and naively selling to women, who come to her clinic.
To get a glimpse of the rest of the story that the main stream media, Hollywood, academia, and even some churches don’t tell you about the life issue, I recommend that you see this movie. Unplanned opens this weekend, starting Thursday evening at the Cinemark 14 in Ontario.
