Why the pro-aborts hate the movie Unplanned

Today I saw the movie Unplanned for the third time.

I counted 54 people in the theatre; Maureen counted 60. Not a bad turnout for a sunny Sunday afternoon when most people were probably outside soaking up the gorgeous July sun, a picture perfect summer day that was neither too humid nor too hot.

Here are the reasons the pro-aborts hate this movie, in no particular order.

  • It is a movie of hope--that people can and do turn their back on their support for abortion
  • Praying outside abortion clinics can and does reduce the number of abortions
  • Women can and do regret their abortions
  • Planned Parenthood really is all about the abortions and not about other health services
  • Abortion doctors make a lot of money from abortions
  • Planned Parenthood is funded by some very big names
  • Planned Parenthood took Abby Johnson to court and lost
  • Pro-life people really do care about the women who have abortions
  • Praying for loved ones who support abortion really can and does make a difference
  • The devil may be in the details but God is in the movie
  • Pro-life lobbying finally brought Unplanned to a theatre near you--in Canada no less. Who could have predicted that? Justin Trudeau, feminist extraordinaire, eat your heart out.

And last but definitely not least--all the huffing and puffing from Canada's loud radical extreme abortion lobby helped Unplanned to succeed at the box office. I never thought I'd thank the pro-abortions for anything. I was wrong.

Abby Johnson's message to the Liberal media, the Liberal Parliament, to pro-life people and to the Church



Abby Johnson at today's March for Life in Ottawa.

"I want to say something to the media who filmed the counter-protesters.

It is cowardly to support death. It is courageous to support life.

Canadians are too polite. We have to stop being too polite. We have to stop listening to the Liberal media. It is time to stop listening to your Liberal parliament.

It is time to stop cowering in our Christian churches. We need a radical spiritual conversion in Canada. And that is going to start in the church.

My question to the clergy who are here today. What are you afraid of?

We are waiting to hear your voices from the pulpit. We are waiting for you to lead on this issue
St John Paul II said "be not afraid". No matter the repercussions.

Abortion is not going to end in the parliament. Abortion is going to end because each one of you raised your voices.

No More death. No more evil. Not on our watch.

We stand on guard for thee.

It is time to stand up. It is time to break free of the fear that binds us. To heck with the repercussions.

It is time to use our voices and act. And don't tell me I'm going to pray for the end to abortion. You better pray and you better do something with that prayer.

We have to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ. We have to be his mouthpiece. Everywhere we go.

Canadians this is not your pro-life activity for the year. This is just one small thing you can do. Being pro-life is living out your convictions every single day. In your schools. In your workplaces. In your family. Everywhere you go. Without fear. Be not afraid.

Unplanned is coming to Canada

It's time for the nation. It's time for the world to see what I saw.

It's time for the nation to know because of the radical mercy of Jesus Christ that we are forgiven.

Those of us who have participated in abortions don't have to be ashamed. There's no condemnation in Christ.

We don't have to live a lifetime of regret. There is freedom in the name of Jesus. And Canada is about to see that redemption in the film Unplanned.

And as you walk away from this March please pray for those who are misguided who are standing there on that corner. Because conversion is possible for even them. Conversion is possible for everyone who has breath in their lungs. And that is how we will make abortion unthinkable in Canada.

We will do it with conversion. And we will do it with boldness. Thank you."

Pro-aborts have the money - pro-lifers have the truth

I am totally invigorated. This is pro-life week in Ottawa. That's with or without Jim Watson's proclamation, which I'm pretty sure we won't be getting this year. Tomorrow is the annual March for Life.

Last night I was blessed to attend the second showing of the movie Unplanned. It was even better the second time around. Watching it again, I really understand why the pro-aborts don't want this film shown in Canada. It will change people's mind about abortion. The pro-abortions don't want that to happen. Abortion is big money. Planned Parenthood is backed by big money. Warren Buffett donates to Planned Parenthood. Bill Gates donates to Planned Parenthood. The Clinton Foundation donates to Planned Parenthood. You get the picture.

After the last showing I read the pro-aborts' tweets where they propagated their usual nonsense that the movie was full of lies. It isn't. I find that kind of funny actually. The pro-aborts just lie so much they don't even know anymore they are lying. I think they might actually believe their lies. Funny but sad.

A little bit of what Abby Johnson told us taken from my notes.
"The Truth offends. They [the pro-aborts] don't worry about offending us, so why should we worry about offending them? We need to speak the truth. Be honest. We must tell our personal stories. We should not be afraid. I don't live in fear. Maybe that's a grace. I am not interested in their [the pro-abort's] opinions of me. I don't walk in fear. Fear is so cumbersome. Fear is what drives people into the abortion clinic. And when you ask God for something watch out... 
When I went to the Episcopal Church it was very pro-choice. The pastor would send women to me. [The church] used their religious beliefs to promote abortion. They would pray at the opening of Planned Parenthood's buildings. When I turned [on Planned Parenthood] I was told I couldn't go to my church anymore. Or to any Episcopal Church in America. My new friends were all Catholic. [Abby then speaks about her conversion to the Catholic faith]. I am also being called to be an apologist for my faith. As long as you are on the side of the Lord you are on the side of truth."

(Abby's organization And Then There Were None)

And that's why I am so hopeful. I needed to be reminded by Abby that we have the truth on our side. The pro-abortions do not. That is why the pro-aborts simply do not stand a chance. We don't have the money big abortion has. But we have the truth.

Abortion doctor in Unplanned

I knew that I had recognized the abortion doctor in the movie Unplanned. So I looked up the cast, found his name and googled him. Lo and behold he is the ex-abortion doctor Dr. Anthony Levatino.

Here Dr. Levatino testifies about what a second trimester abortion looks like. It's pretty gruesome stuff. Of course this horrifying description or tearing a baby apart in utero is part and parcel of a "woman's right to choose". 

This is what the pro-abortions fight tooth and nail to protect. To celebrate. To cheer. To honour. This is what "pro-choice" means.

Why the pro-aborts don't like the movie Unplanned

Last evening I had the good fortune to attend the only showing in Canada of the movie Unplanned. This is the story of Abby Johnson who went from being "pro-choice" and working for Planned Parenthood, to being pro-life and working full time in pro-life.

Four pro-life MP's were there, Michael Barrett, Brad Trost, Arnold Viersen, and Harold Albrech (yes we still have pro-life MPs, a tough job in the pro-abortion political sphere that is Canada). 

Also there was Laura Klassen from Choice4Two, and Christina Lee Fast, whose video My Life Is Worth Living about the plight of Canadians with Down Syndrome went viral this past year.

And last but not least was the actress who played Abby Johnson, Ashley Bratcher, and producer Joe Knopp were both there and spoke to us.

This is what I learned.

1) I learned that Planned Parenthood really really really doesn't want you to see this movie. It might just change your mind on abortion. This is what they said about the movie:
"The claims in this film are simply false. Planned Parenthood is proud to provide expert, high-quality health care to our patients, including safe and legal abortion, in a safe and compassionate environment. The movie promotes many falsehoods including most importantly, distortions and incorrect depictions about healthcare."
As I said. Planned Parenthood really really really doesn't want you to see this movie. Oh, they also lost their case against Abby Johnson.

2) I learned that Johnson had her ah ha moment when she witnessed (with the help of the ultrasound) a preborn child being ripped apart during an abortion. Planned Parenthood really really really doesn't want you to see this either. Oh my goodness, no they don't.

3) I learned that when people pray outside abortion clinics, babies are literally saved.  And if we save babies, income to abortion doctors goes down. Abortion doctors really really really don't want their income to go down. There is big money in abortion.

4) I realized that because babies are saved when people pray outside abortion clinics, we know that even when a bubble zone is enacted, people will still pray. Like Fr. Tony Van Hee and others who continue to pray outside the Morgentaler killing site, albeit outside the bubble zone. What does that mean? Babies are being saved then too.

5) I realized that those prayers do even more than save the babies. They save people. You see Abby Johnson had a pro-life husband and pro-life parents. What do you think they were doing all those years that Johnson worked at Planned Parenthood? They were praying for her to quit and become pro-life. And it worked.

6) I learned that we need to send an email to guestservices@cineplex.com and ask them to distribute this movie in Canada. I will be doing that. 

7) And the best thing I learned last night? The pro-life movement is not dead in Canada. We are alive and kicking and full of smart and energetic young people. Even the rest of us were invigorated by this movie. And did I mention? The pro-aborts really really really don't want Unplanned shown in Canada.

When abortion euphemisms don't work

It makes perfect sense that our Universities want to shut down pro-life groups like Carleton's Lifeline.

Graphically showing abortion is ugly. Students will see how ugly it is. Such ugly truths make it really hard to deny that abortion kills pre-born children. If the Universities allow these groups to continue, hearts might turn against abortion.

Hearts can and do turn against the destruction of innocent human life.

It happened to Abby Johnson.
It happened to Bernard Nathanson.
It happened to Oskar Schindler.

When you see the result of removing life from a Human life form, you have to question your beliefs.

As Joyce Arthur, Canada's most extreme "pro-choicer" let slip about her real motivation behind opposition to Bill C-484:
“If the fetuses are recognized in this bill, it could bleed into people’s consciousness and make people change their minds about abortion.” (“Fetal rights stir debate on abortion,” by Charles Lewis, National Post, March 1, 2008).

You see, the pro-abortions must prevent people--at all costs--from changing their minds about abortion.

Abby Johnson was present as an unborn child was being aborted from her mother. Johnson watched in horror as the fetus was killed. The truth about abortion hit Abby hard and she became pro-life.

Dr. Bernard Nathanson, who was responsible for 75,000 abortions, was also finally enlightened by the then, new technology of Ultrasound when he witnessed the same thing. He finally came to the same conclusion as Johnson.

They could no longer deny that abortion was killing a pre-born human being.

It was my recent viewing of Schindler's List that brought this home for me. When you actually use your own eyes to view the truth, the "pro-choice" euphemisms don't work anymore.

For the first part of the movie, Schindler uses his Jewish workers to make pots in his factory. According to Wikipedia:
"As an opportunistic businessman, Schindler was one of many who sought to profit from the German invasion of Poland in 1939. He gained ownership from a bankruptcy court of an idle enamelware factory...with the help of his German-speaking Jewish accountant Itzhak Stern, Schindler obtained around 1,000 Jewish forced labourers to work there.

Schindler soon adapted his lifestyle to his income. He became a well-respected guest at Nazi SS elite parties, having easy chats with high-ranking SS officers, often for his benefit. Initially Schindler may have been motivated by money — Jewish labour was less costly — but later he began shielding his workers without regard for cost. He would, for instance, claim that certain unskilled workers were essential to the factory."

But what happened next is key:
"While witnessing a 1943 raid on the Kraków Ghetto, where soldiers were used to round up the inhabitants for shipment to the concentration camp at Płaszów, Schindler was appalled by the murder of many of the Jews who had been working for him. He was a very persuasive individual, and after the raid, increasingly used all of his skills to protect his Schindlerjuden ("Schindler's Jews"), as they came to be called. Schindler went out of his way to take care of the Jews who worked at DEF, often calling on his legendary charm and ingratiating manner to help his workers get out of difficult situations."

In the scene described above, Schindler is out horse-back riding with one of his girlfriends. He is high up on a hill and he hears shots ring out. He watches in horror as the soldiers shoot the Jewish people below. He watches them fall from the gun shots, dead.

You know that this is the turning point for Schindler. Up until mow, Schindler knew what the Nazis were doing to the Jewish people. But it probably wasn't real to him. Perhaps he was in denial. Who knows?

But now he is witnessing with his own eyes the horror of the Jewish extermination right in front of himself. It was really happening. Jewish people were being slaughtered by soldiers, because some people had said that the Jews were not human.

Because some people say that the pre-born are not human.

The movie ends with the scene of the Jews he has saved extracting a gold tooth from one of their own. They fabricate a gold ring for Schindler as a thank you to the man who saved them. It was in-scripted with this quote from the Talmud:
"Whoever saves one life saves the world entire"

The pro-abortions don't want what happened to Johnson, Nathanson or Schindler to happen to anyone else. They must shut down university pro-life clubs.
