“Beam me up Scotty.” These are an abortionist’s words directing a nurse to turn on the suction machine, words Abby Johnson heard when she was unexpectedly summoned to the procedure room of the Bryan, Texas Planned Parenthood clinic, of which she was the manager, to assist in an ultra-sound guided abortion. She was stunned to observe that the 13 week-old fetus pulled away from the invading suction cannula. Johnson recounts the abortion in her 2010 book Unplanned: “The cannula was already being rotated by the doctor, and now I could see the tiny body violently twisting with it. For the briefest moment it looked as if the baby were being wrung like a dishcloth, twirled and squeezed. And then the little body crumpled and began disappearing into the cannula before my eyes. The last thing I saw was the tiny, perfectly formed backbone sucked into the tube, and then everything was gone.” Unplanned, the film, opens with this riveting depiction of abortion violence. Based on Johnson’s book the movie chronicles the former Planned Parenthood clinic director’s odyssey into the abortion practice and how her complicity in the killing of this unborn child drove her out of what Johnson herself calls the “death house” and into the arms of the pro-life movement.
As Johnson instantly was mentored by founders of 40 Days for Life and quickly catapulted into the role of a pro-life spokesman, perhaps it was only a matter of time before Christian film-makers would mount her story onto the big screen. Directed by Gary Soloman and Chuck Konzelman, the latter known for God’s Not Dead, it is produced by the same Christian-oriented film company PureFlix.

We saw it Sunday. Extremely powerful film. I can see why the MPAA, Twitter, the TV networks and all the movie critics who are writing pro-abortion op-eds instead of reviews are so desperate to keep people from seeing it. It still came in at #5 for the weekend, even though it was on less than a third as many screens as movies ranked higher, and it’s expanding to another 600 screens next weekend. The desperate attempts by Planned Parenthood defenders to keep the truth about what they do hidden are finally crumbling.
Maybe they should show it for free on university campuses.
Terrific view. Unvarnished truth. A bargain at the box office. Take your teens. This is one movie that is a family movie. Really a splendid documentary.
Should be shown in every high school class in America. Plays it straight down the middle. Does not omit the mention of soros, buffet and big dollars of corporate America driving this bloody ghoul. Go see it!
Go see it. Don’t expect to come out of the cinema unaffected.
This is not entertainment.
Saw it last night.
Not easy on the eyes. Lots of blood. The ultrasound abortion scene was horrific.
I may buy a ticket but not view the film. Just reading this thread is painful.
I never have had children and would not have aborted if it had come up.
“Take your teens. This is one movie that is a family movie. Really a splendid documentary.”
I definatly would NOT call this a family movie.
Took my 12 year old last night and regret it. Lots of women with legs spread open with blood dripping on the floor. Adequate talk of sex and birth control.
Maybe older teens would ok, but I did not research it enough first. :(
Hubs and I saw it yesterday. Ran into most of our adult Sunday School class there.
The ultra sound scene really “got” us because we thought we had lost DD about that point in first pregnancy. When we heard her little heart beating fast and strong, it was one of the happiest days ever.
But for that little one in the story time was running out. Still brings tears.
Hubs pointed out that the victims of the clinic were not given any choices other than abortion. So how could they claim to be pro-choice?
About time.
When do we here in America get to murder the inconvenient who aren’t helpless little babies?
I agree. Teens (high schoolers) should view this to better know what they are getting into when they choose to whet their sexual appetite.
NOT a family movie for anyone under 10. Too bloody and intense. After watching it Sunday, I can’t criticize the decision to make it R-rated.
That said, it was a well-done film and I hope Tomi Lehren gets to see it.
There is one scene where Amy is told during a conference to double the number of abortions and she questions the request. She was seriously dressed down after the meeting and told that Planned Parenthood was like McDonald’s - the “drink and fries” are the money-makers and abortion is the money-maker for Planned Parenthood.
It took me back to a story from my workplace in a call center back in the 1990s. A young woman named Linda just got married and “forgot” her birth control when she went on her honeymoon. A few days later she stopped by a Planned Parenthood location to find out if she was pregnant.
They would not tell her the results and, instead, her counselor went on a long harangue about the inconvenience of having a child and how it would literally ruin everything in her life. She asked again to see the results but the counselor brushed her off and went back to her presentation.
Finally, Linda got angry and said “Look, if I’m pregnant, I’m going to keep the baby, just tell me the damn results!”. The counselor flung the paper at her - it was negative.
I asked her if she knew what had happened. I told her they were trying to sell her an abortion even though they knew you didn’t need it.
“No!,” she exclaimed. “That’s unethical!”
“Um, yeah,” I replied. “But they’re unregulated so they can say whatever they want and just hope you don’t get wise to them.”
Godless talking points inspired by the devil.
Took family on Saturday night. Well worth seeing and supporting this film.
I lost my grandson who died before he was born. How could any human kill a child? I simply don’t understand such evil.
I cried like a baby when I put him in the grave? I’d trade places with him, in a heartbeat. Yet, I know he is with our LORD GOD. May GOD heal our country? Please LORD put an end to this evil.
I saw it, and it was great. I think young women should watch it so they see the real face of Planned Parenthood, what they are doing, and what motivates them. I believe it would make them think twice about considering abortion in their future. Maybe it will even cause them to take more care about who they become intimate with so that they never have to contemplate such a decision.
:(
No, it’s not a family movie. However it is one every family member of a certain maturity needs to see.
My daughter is inviting her friends to see it then gather at her place after.
We saw it Saturday with her. It’s a good thing they released it during pollen season. My eyes were very irritated.
Thank you Abby, Mike Lindell and Shawn Carney.
I saw it Saturday. It did not merit an R Rating. Gorey horror movies do not get an R. This was not nearly as graphic as I expected it to be from its R Rating.
That was done, first, to prevent girls who can legally get an abortion without parental consent from legally seeing a movie about abortion without parental consent; second, to provide a pretext for corporate entities to refuse any paid advertising for it because of its rating.
The star found out after doing the role that she had nearly herself been aborted by her mother at age nineteen.
The film doctor apparently was an actual abortionist in the past, so knew how to play his role realistically.
This is not right-wing fantasy, as the communist critics proclaim. These people and events were and are real. The evil that Planned Parenthood, a supposed non-profit organization, does - funded by taxpayers without our permission - is real.
A zygote does not develop into an undifferentiated clump of cells. Clumps of cells do not develop into human beings.
I saw the movie and it was totally sold out. I had a front row seat because of it.
