Infants have “been unable to see lip movements or mouth shapes as regularly.”. Lockdown restrictions, including adults wearing face masks, has left a generation of babies and toddlers struggling with speech and social skills, according to an official report. Inspectors working for Ofsted found that infants being surrounded by adults wearing face masks for significant periods of time over the last two years has damaged their learning and communication abilities. Those turning two “will have been surrounded by adults wearing masks for their whole lives and have therefore been unable to see lip movements or mouth shapes as regularly,” the...

Brian Kilmede is substituting for Tucker Carlson tonight. Is Tucker just taking a long weekend, or is there something else going on?

Nothing like a little bad publicity to get a business to change its mind. After Hallmark scrubbed all mentions of the pro-life film Unplanned from a recent broadcast, pro-life advocates grew outraged. The star of Unplanned, Ashley Bratcher, first revealed that all references to the film had been removed from Hallmark's broadcast of the Movieguide Awards, even though Unplanned was nominated for awards in three categories. "This is completely UNACCEPTABLE," she tweeted on Sunday. Note that not only had the broadcast eliminated Bratcher's speech — which, as she told me, "happens all the time" — it had also scrubbed the...

Abby Johnson is doing a video of a tip for pro-lifers every Tuesday. Here is a sidewalk counseling tip from 9/14/2016: “This week I’m going to talk about difficult people on the sidewalk. A lot of times people go out to the sidewalk and they’re with 40 Days for Life or they’re with Sidewalk Advocates for Life, or another really great group, and they have other groups that come out and do weird things on the sidewalk. [For example] they have baby doll parts that are painted with red blood, and they dangle them over the fence. Or they have...

“Unplanned,” a movie about an abortion clinic director who left her job at Planned Parenthood, is the No. 1 DVD in Amazon sales after surpassing expectations in movie theaters. “You know, without being trite, I think the people have spoken,” Cary Solomon, who directed the movie with Chuck Konzelman, told The Daily Signal in a phone interview Tuesday. “Unplanned” tells the true story of Abby Johnson, a Planned Parenthood clinic director who quit her job with the nation’s largest abortion provider in 2009 after having a conversion experience regarding the procedure. The movie, which stars Ashley Bratcher as Johnson, grossed...

The controversial film UNPLANNED releases on DVD, Blu-ray and digital formats on Tuesday — bringing the transformational story of Abby Johnson to homes – and abortion clinics – around the world.

Despite being called 'hate propaganda,' the anti-abortion movie has bucked all trends. Unplanned is a film that boasts no major stars, has received mostly poor ratings, and has been called "a piece of hpate propaganda" against women and abortion providers by Joyce Arthur of the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada. Still, the movie, based on the memoir by Abby Johnson, a former Texas Planned Parenthood staffer-turned-anti-abortion activist, has opened in 56 theatres across Canada. A film shot for a modest $6 million US is being shown on giant screens alongside Toy Story 4 and Spider-Man: Far from Home, a feat...

Michael Lindell invested $1 million into a new film from the makers behind 'God's Not Dead,' and plans to keep spending on projects that fit his message. There's a new film financier around town: the unapologetic Trump-loving, born-again Christian conservative founder of My Pillow, who is sure to stand out in Hollywood.

His investment amounts to one-sixth the entire production budget of Unplanned, which comes from...

Pro-Life Film Causing Abortion Workers to LEAVE the Industry!!! Find out why the world is turning pro-life!!!

This year Mississippi joined just a few other states, when Legislature moved to make abortions illegal once a heartbeat is detected. The “Heartbeat bill,” passed during the 2019 session, is one of the most restrictive laws on abortion in the nation, effectively cutting off abortions around the 6-8 week mark. The law has already been challenged in court on constitutionality after being signed by the Governor. Laws like this and others across the nation continue to challenge the question, when does life begin? Unplanned is based on the true story of Abby Johnson, a former employee of Planned Parenthood. Abby...

South Korea's Constitutional Court said Thursday a law criminalizing abortion was unconstitutional, a landmark ruling that will overturn a ban on abortion that had been in place since 1953. The court said in a statement the outright ban on abortion, as well as a law that made doctors who conduct abortions with the woman's consent liable to criminal charges...

The film, for those who are uninitiated, follows the real-life journey of Planned Parenthood defector Abby Johnson from abortion mouthpiece to pro-life crusader. I was blown away by how effectively “UNPLANNED” manages to be genuinely entertaining, & exposes all-things abortion. Actress Ashely Bratcher is spectacular, followed only by the performance of Robia Scott, who plays a beautiful villain as the Planned Parenthood executive overseeing Johnson. Much like the abortion industry itself, the character on the outside is neat and beautiful, but ugly, vicious, and money-driven just below the surface. The most important scene to me was not the powerful ultrasound-guided...

When actress Ashley Bratcher accepted the role of Abby Johnson for the movie Unplanned she was warned by the movie’s producers that it could be a career killer. The oh-so-tolerant cultural elites of Hollywood would likely blacklist her for starring in a film that attacks the sacred cow of abortion and dares to speak truth to power concerning Planned Parenthood. She didn’t back out and she isn’t backing down. In an interview with Fox News last December, Bratcher said the role was worth it, “even if I’m blacklisted.” Despite a media blackout — including the refusal of most major media...

Despite a vast array of factors standing in the way of success, the pro-life movie “Unplanned” — which takes a decidedly critical view of abortion providers Planned Parenthood — opened in theaters this weekend with surprisingly robust ticket sales. The film is centered around the real-life story of a former manager of a Planned Parenthood clinic who has second thoughts about her position on the issue after witnessing abortions first-hand. She has gone on to become an outspoken critic of her former employer and the abortion industry in general as she now supports the right to life of unborn babies....
