Unplanned: The Movie.
Note: Although the movie was rated R, it could go for maybe a 13+ audience..
Sometimes as humans, we can tend to follow a belief blindly. Whether it be an idea or a feeling, we will stick with it till the end. In the case of Abby Johnson, that was just it. When she was in school, she was drawn into Planned Parenthood with the idea of assisting women who needed help and advocating for a woman's right to choose. After years of faithfully working at the facility, she made her way up the corporate ladder. One day, a doctor in a procedure room needed help. In all of her years of working at the clinic, she had never seen an operation performed. She had had 2 abortions before but hadn't seen the ultrasound. As she opened the door, the woman inside was softly crying while the doctor was preparing the woman. He asked Abby to help with the ultrasound while he was performing the abortion. As she held the ultrasound machine, she saw the small fetus moving away from the tube that would suck the child out of the mother's womb. As she watched in horror, one of the legs was first torn off, as the fetus appeared to be fighting for its life. The abortion was finished. Abby ran from the room tears running down her face. She retreated to the nearest bathroom where she was inconsolably crying.
In the case of Abby Johnson, I thought a lot about my own views on a lot of things. Do I follow things just because others say I should, or am I really looking into what I believe? When Abby really saw what she for so long championed, she was terrified. She felt so guilty for the countless number of children she had her hand in aborting. No matter your position on abortion, each one of us needs to take the time to fully understand and investigate our beliefs and the repercussions of them.
Watching this movie really opened my eyes toward the real goings-on of an abortion clinic. I was pro-life before the movie, not really comprehending the full realities and repercussions of abortion. Whatever your opinion is on the subject, this movie is a must-watch for those who want a closer look into multiple views of lives who were effects by this specific abortion clinic.
In closing, I'd like to add that although my views are pro-life, I feel very strongly that I, as a Christian, should make an environment for others that will accept them no matter how difficult or "dark" their past may be. If they seek forgiveness, mercy, and truth, I should be there to help facilitate that process.
