Holly on Hollywood
“Unplanned”
by Holly McClure

UNPLANNED is the powerful true story of Abby Johnson (Ashley Bratcher), one of the youngest Planned Parenthood clinic directors in the nation, who was involved in upwards of 22,000 abortions and counseled countless women, encouraging many to get an abortion. She was a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood until the day she assisted an actual abortion and on the ultrasound screen, saw a baby pulling away in pain and realized it wasn’t just tissue, it was a human baby! That moment forever changed the course of Abby’s life. Robia LaMorte plays the clinic’s director.

UNPLANNED was given an R rating strictly for mature themes dealing with abortion. There is no actual abortion shown but there are intense scenes dealing with the subject; the director takes Abby to a room where they keep dead baby body parts and shows her a tiny fetus in a petrie dish, one young girl bleeds heavily after her abortion and almost dies, Abby takes the ru-486 abortive pill to end her pregnancy and bleeds heavily in pain, there are intense emotions of women considering an abortion, pro-life activists begging women not to do it and the realization of what the baby experiences during an abortion. Since late-term abortion is now in the news, this movie is more politically relevant than ever before. This isn’t an easy movie to invite friends to go see. But it IS a story full of hope for the unborn waiting to be aborted, compassion for those who have had an abortion or considered it, an imperative viewpoint for political discussion, and hopefully, an important cultural message. Every teenage girl needs to see this movie! It is well-done with an excellent cast that presents different viewpoints in a powerful, emotional and faith-filled way. I highly recommend this movie for teens to adults.
