Unplanned is the true story of Abby Johnson, the youngest director of Planned Parenthood, who witnesses something during an abortion procedure that dramatically changes her life forever.
Despite the fact that the movie contains no foul language, no nudity, and no sexuality, it has been banned in Canada.
The distributors found the content ``offensive."
Offensive?
Wait... If an abortion is just the removal of a clump of cells then why would Unplanned be banned?
To make matters even worse, Google refused any pre-release adverts and banners of the film and many major television networks refused to promote the films release.
Twitter suspended the Unplanned Twitter account and cut their Twitter "followers" dramatically.
Johnson however is not despondent and is as passionate as ever and says
"I wonder what they have to be afraid of?"
She has encouraged Canadians to raise their voices and to speak up for the unborn.
"You gotta stop being so dang polite.
Life is on the line. Children are being killed, dismembered by their mothers wombs. There is nothing pro-life about abortion and it is time for us to stop cowering to a liberal media, to your liberal parliament, enough is enough."
Already the movie Unplanned is making waves and there have been testimonies of women and girls who went to see the movie, who were not sure if they would keep their baby or not, who then chose life for their baby.
Abby Johnson has done an amazing thing and although Unplanned is not yet available in South Africa, I am so excited to see such a controversial, impacting and incredible story of a woman who was not afraid to speak the truth.
The moment I find out about a screening here in South Africa I will be sure to let people know!
