‘Unplanned’ tells it like it is

Thu., April 18, 2019

Your article on the showing of the movie “Unplanned” tells us that Planned Parenthood Spokesman, Paul Dillon states, “It’s just trying to show shock and gore.” Well, abortion is gory and shocking, as it is taking the life of an unborn child, often by dismembering and suction. There is no distorting those facts in service of an extreme agenda, as he states. It is a fact that Planned Parenthood aborts millions of babies a year, and I will never accept that this is okay.

The movie should be rated “R” as abortion is a violent act and the fact that Johnson was issued a gag order soon after she quit tells me the “R” rating is very appropriate.
