i watched a terrible pro-life propaganda movie | Unplanned 

Abortion shouldn’t be a privilege, it’s a right! I just wish it wasn’t up for debate but here we’re huh

Was raped when I was 16, I didn't have any support and it was during my mom's mental breakdown. Getting pregnant afterwards was just just the final nail in the coffin for me, was desperate but knew I couldn't have a kid. I didn't have money, or any idea what I supposed to do, but that doctor was the support I needed so much in that time when I had none. I just remember bawling my eyes out for hours and he put up with it. He ended up doing the proceedure for free as well, and helped me make that traumatic experience something I barely remember and be able to carry on with my life.

i’m crying my eyes out at the beginning because of the woman being held down. when i had my abortion (october 2020) i didn’t get it at planned parenthood, but at a nonprofit health center near me. i had someone in my abortion who was there specifically to comfort me. she held my hand and stroked my hair (with my consent). talked to me about my kitties. i don’t think i could have gotten through it without her. this breaks my heart they’re fearmongering like this. ALSO, you cant see the ultrasound when you’re getting an abortion, OBVIOUSLY because they don’t have someone standing there doing an ultrasound mid abortion.

I think the fact that the film changed a black woman from Abby’s story into a white woman says all you need to know about the type of people who made this movie. Also I wish we stopped calling them pro-life and started calling them pro-state enforced pregnancy, because more often then not “pro-lifers” are in favor of war, the death penalty, and cutting funding to programs that help people in life or death situations. Make no mistake comrades, pro-lifers do not support life, they support enforced pregnancy.

i’ve had an abortion before and i can honestly say that the people who took care of me at the clinic were some of the nicest people i’ve ever met. nobody pressured me into making the decision, in fact there were very few questions asked… because it’s none of their business to know why i’d want to have one. they only asked basic questions like “is the father involved” which i’m assuming has more to do with statistics and things like that. i’m fortunate enough to live in the chicagoland area where we have access to a chicago abortion fund that helps women pay for these things. it’s so sad to see people try and twist the narrative that the people who work in those clinics just hate children and love performing abortions when in reality they’re saving womens lives.

I've noticed a lot of people who are pro-life they are also very pro-death penalty.

How many kids are still being failed by CPS? How many kids are being neglected in the foster system? How about these pro-lifers worry about taking care of the children who already suffering from parents that don't want or care for them before they start harassing women for what they choose to do with their own body. They won't though. It's not about caring for kids it's about forcing people to conform to their beliefs.

I got a IUD at a PlannedParenthood, obviously not the same as an abortion, but they asked me multiple times if I was being forced to, and, during the procedure, they continually asked me how I was doing, asking me if I needed to stop etc. Some of the nicest doctors I've ever met.

My mom straight up told me that I was a scheduled abortion, and only exist because she missed her appointment and her evangelical ass thought it was fate. If I'm able to be prochoice after that then that just shows how closed minded prolifers are

Grayson, I honestly just wanted to say that I've noticed a HUGE change in your demeanor since you've started making content about what you're truly passionate about, as apposed to covering whatever drama is relevant. While I've always enjoyed your content, regardless of what topic you're discussing, I just thought I'd let you know it's awesome to see you so happy and truly passionate in your recent uploads. 🖤🖤🖤

My parents took me to see this in theaters when I was 12. I didn’t realize it was meant to be anti-abortion, because at the beginning the main character becomes an abortionist, and she gets a family and a nice house and helps people, so halfway through, I lean towards my (conservative Christian) mom, and ask “Do you think I could be an abortionist when I grow up?”

As a victim of s/a if I had gotten pregnant and wasn’t aloud an abortion I can tell you with 100% certainty that I would have killed myself. The first time I was s/a I was 9 and then 13 and then 14. I was not mentally stable as I have mental problems that at the time I wasn’t getting much help for, I have a terrible pain tolerance and I would never be able to put a now child into the foster care system I’ve had friends that where foster care kids and there is a lot of abuse. I would have killed myself while pregnant or from the guilt of knowing I added another child into the system of abuse, I really hope people will take people like into consideration when they try to get rid of abortions. I am actually planing on talking to my local planned parenthood and becoming a clinic defender or a escort! I want to help people seeking an abortion feel safe and comfortable

As a women in Canada who was able to have an abortion under 18, I feel extremely lucky, knowing my mother would never accept me and kick me out if she knew. I was able do all of this myself without the government informing my parents. I feel so much for the girls and women who are in places where they don't have as much choice over their bodies, idk where i would be if i didn't have this option and and support of my health care system.

My boyfriend's parents had him and I watch this movie in order to be allowed to be alone in his room. I knew this was stupid but I didn't know that the whole story was a lie! Also don't forget about the "pieces of children" room!

Being a living unplanned child isn't a gift from god, it's traumatizing bc you're treated like dirt and it shows

As someone who had a miscarriage by the time I was 14, this just sickens me that people- particularly men- think it's their right to decide whether a preson with a uterus can have an abortion or not. I'm now 16 and couldn't be much happier now as I am atm. During my 5 month relationship with my abusive ex-boyfriend, I came to a realization that if I stayed there, I would've became trapped with a child that I didn't want. What makes it worse is that I grew up in a Catholic setting, so everything I thought/did was considered a sin by most of my family. Being forced into something as big as pregnancy is never to be questioned in a environment where laws are made; abortions should only be put under health law, and thought out by practiced/licensed medical professionals. I really hope that overturning Roe Vs Wade will just flop, and every person with a uterus can have some relaxation from this crappy ordeal that we call politics.

everyone in the comments that were forced to watch this movie without any context of the real story in school by teachers, parents and churches- i cannot fathom being treated like that. it’s made me realise how lucky i’ve been in being allowed to form who i am on my own merits. sending big virtual hugs to everyone 🫂

Im a 14 year old in 8th grade, in my schools health class we were shown this movie. My health teacher is an old white man who is very openly transphobic. When we were shown this movie we were not told it was going to be about abortion, he just put it on since we were “behaving well.” When the scene of the abortion itself was on I was in shock and extremely traumatized. I started to cry and continued to cry even when going to my next class. All of my class was very traumatized by what they had just seen and most of my class was crying as-well. My health teacher is obviously pro life and decided to traumatize half his students by this movie just to prove his beliefs. That scene is now forever in my head but seeing this video and finding out that it isn’t accurate what so ever makes me feel so much better! Thankfully I’m graduating this year and will never have to see my health teacher again.

Abortion should be legal, safe and free, if someone disagrees they can first look at all the children in the foster system and care about them since they're already here and suffering.

My mother forced me to watch the abortion scene by pinning me against the sofa and forcing my head to face the screen. I was screaming and begging for her to stop, and she just said that the fetus was screaming too and that this is what would happen if I ever got an abortion. Needless to say, I'm still haunted by the vile images to this day.

Im 22, nonbinary and 24 weeks pregnant. When i went to Planned Parenthood for hormones they counseled me on safe s*x, then when i wanted my birth control implant removed to try for my baby they were happy to do so, the doctor was really excited for me actually. None of my states PP offer any kind of abortion, they literally are just helpful for preventing harm. Being pregnant has made me even more pro choice, dude this sucks if you want it, let alone if this was unwanted.

don't really like calling them prolifers bc they don't care about life truly.

I think a lot of ppl forget planned parenthood doesn't only do abortions, they help ppl with the whole category of sexual health

One thing is true though: Abby Johnson did have a life-changing experience that changed her into an anti-abortion activist. That event was that people from the anti-abortion movement offered her a boatload of money when she was pissed off at her job. Edit: Yeah, I typed this after only watching the first minute or so. But it's all here in the video. :)

Duuuude my mom made me watch this movie with her in theaters (yeah she’s a pro-lifer) She treated it like a documentary and was saying shit like “how can you not believe abortion is wrong after seeing this??”

Just a small point regarding the “blood-splattered shoes” scene: assuming that blood or other biohazardous materials were to spill, spray, or otherwise contaminate people present in the operating theatre/any other abortion-related room, there is absolutely no way any organization not wanting to be shut down for incredible health and safety violations would let contaminated articles of clothing or other objects to leave without being thoroughly sanitized and almost definitely sterilized, probably using an autoclave. If that was not possible, it would be necessary to dispose of the contaminated objects with the biohazard waste. No employee in any place where biohazard exposure is a possibility would be allowed to walk around spreading biohazardous material with their shoes, or with anything else. The only reason I can see to include this extreme oversight is either out of having no knowledge whatsoever of how biohazards are dealt with, or to make Planned Parenthood look incompetent and dangerous. Such a scene could and would never happen in any real-life scenarios, and if somehow it did, I think whoever had the contaminated item would be rushing to clean up and decontaminate everything, not just casually accepting it.

My school actually had ALL OF US watch this movie, on a freaking teather, when we were 13-14 year olds, and obviously, SO many people were horrified by how abortion was depicted in it, i heard girls cry in the bathrooms after we finished and it was honestly so heartbreaking. I am pro choice and the way it depicted teen pregnancies made me so uncomfortable, like the girls were "stolen" the option of becoming mothers, something they shouldn't have be to begin with. The scene where the protagonist talks a young girl out of getting an abortion by telling her about her experience made me so angry because they made it look like she accomplished something but they never showed what exactly happened to that girl, was she actually able to raise the kid in an appropiate envornment? With the basic necessities a kid needs while also being able to live her own life? Did she even made the birth or did she have any complications because of her age or her access to medical care? No, obviusly they didn't show it because it would ruin their image of "saving lives" when the only thing they do is put them in unnecessary danger and social pressure to do what these complete strangers want them to do to support their campaign.

America is so ironic, you have people yelling about free speech, but some of these people are against free choices to do with someone’s body, romance, race, sexuality, etc. They can be against so many things that seem like basic human rights but they still yell about freedom.

i remember my mom took me to watch this movie with my sister in theaters so we can ‘see what they REALLY do to babies’ and i remember seeing so many moms with their daughters and most of them were really young. me and my sister were one of the only ones that were teens in the theater. and in the scene where the baby was supposedly trying to stay in the womb i felt sick to my stomach. but not because of how ‘sad’ it was or whatever but because it was so insanely gruesome and weird??? all the moms in the theater were crying and it just felt so uncomfortable. i felt so nauseous coming out of the theater and my mom felt so proud of herself because she thought this really sealed the deal for us to think that abortion is murder. if anything, it just made my phobia of blood even worse LOL and i completely wiped this movie out of my memory. i’ve been pro choice even before my mom took me to watch this movie but thank you so much grayson for showing the true colors of this movie and movie maker. fuck you abby johnson !

Grayson literally 5 seconds after posting this video: “THE PRO-LIFE PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO COME THROUGH AND I CAN’T STOP THEM”

Ugh, we shouldn't call them "pro-life" and give them the satisfaction and legitimation. Forced birthers should be the correct term for them.

Seeing how many people were forced to watch this at a really young age kinda sucks :(

I was literally forced to watch this movie in highschool and smelled that it was bullshit but didn't know a lot of the information that this video had

1.- PureFlix had a fit over the film getting an R rating. You know, the same film showcasing a fetus being mutilated in graphic detail with tons of blood flowing everywhere at the OR. What the hell were they expecting? 2.- Whether you are pro-choice or pro-life, the mere fact that the woman behind this film was going to get fired little before she decided to pull a 180 and go pro-life is extremely sketchy. 3.- As with most pro-life people and activists, they ignore how fucked up the adoption system is. Most kids end up there for their entire childhood and then what? They've grown without parents, support and even parents trying to adopt have to go through insane hoops just to be able to do it. And that's in the States, the less said about the adoption system in Mexico (where I live) the better. And besides, what else is the alternative? Banning abortion altogether? Which will only increase illegal, risky abortions and open the doors for monsters like Gosnell to resurface. 4.- Unlike the God Is Not Dead films, Unplanned barely has any unintentionally hilarious scenes so it is unbearably boring.

My grandmother forced me to watch this movie. We were the ONLY people in the theater and that scene traumatized me for a while. Not because of the scene itself, but my grandmother screaming at me and holding ME down, making me hear, and watch it.

My mom wanted me to sit down and watch a certain scene in this movie. Never knew this was the title of it. She said " That's what happens when you get an abortion " This was about 6 years ago I belive. I had an abortion back in July. I couldn't take care of my baby on my own, and me and my boyfriend didn't have a stable job with a good income. Not to mention we live in an apartment complex. I'd rather be more stable before having a baby. Not only that, I've I've struggling mentally. I would not have been capable of taking care of the baby. As much as I miss my baby and how I would've loved to see them, this was good decision. They do not take perform abortions on women who have a fetus that big. Not to mention yes you are correct they do not force someone to get an abortion. And the office I was at. They were very kind, asking questions that were necessary. " is anyone making you do this abortion? " " do you feel safe where you currently live " And a few minutes before getting the procedure they asked me if this was what I wanted. During the operation, they held my hand and told me they'd help me through everything. They did, they were kind and made sure after I was taken care of. I talked to a nurse that was in the room with me who helped me calm down and took care of any needs I had. They were very kind and very attentive. My problem was the people outside of the clinic that were calling anyone that walked out disgusting for getting an abortion and handing out church pamphlets.

fun fact! this was filmed in my hometown. my classmates were recruited as extras, but they were told it was a christian movie, not a pro-life movie. they made everyone sign a confidentiality agreement to avoid protests.

My mom works at a Catholic school and used to show this movie to her students. I never watched it cause I didn’t go to that school but omg I had no idea what this was about. I’m so happy that she stopped teaching religion cause oh my lord, those poor 7th graders.

God, I remember my conservative, catholic, school made us watch this movie for a RELIGION class and I was so fucking disgusted by how manipulative the movie was. Afterwards, we had to write an essay about it and abortion and how it’s bad or something, but I used that opportunity to write about how manipulative this movie was instead and how it should not have been shown in class. Can’t imagine what the other students wrote.

Ngl, my medical abortion was one of the most painful things I experienced, but THANK GOD I could get one before Texas straight-up outlawed abortion. Best decision of my life

I worked at a movie theater when this came out and the worst thing was seeing an entire Catholic school be brought to the theater on a field trip to watch this movie. All these kids were just excited to get out of class and eat pizza and popcorn at the movies, and all the adults were excited to really begin their anti-choice indoctrination. I get it, Catholic schools are gonna Catholic school, but yeesh it was not fun to see the theater fill up with young kids going to see a movie so full of misinformation and propaganda.

Calling them pro-life is what they've always wanted and gives them a feeling of power because the term sounds positive. I'd prefer to call them anti-choice.

Soooo funny story my school actually had a assembly where we met abbey Johnson. It’s super funny cause she went into explicit detail about her two abortions and I remember two girls fainted and over ten girls had to walk out. I just say there thinking “huh it’s funny how this isn’t encouraging us it’s scaring us.” (What’s worse is that only the juniors and seniors watched the movie) but our ENTIRE school was there. Which means a bunch 13-14 year olds who don’t even know who this lady is have to listen to this explicit detailed story about this woman’s two abortions. It’s funny I’m pretty sure this what pushed so many girls to be pro-choice

The sentence "pro lifers shot a man" is so juxtaposed that this can't be real life.

Everyone's opinions are valued but never the one's whose body is involved in this whole process. Right to choose is a basic right but women can't choose their pregnancies

For how much religious people claim to be pacifists, they sure love violence and blood in their movies (this one and The Passion Of Christ come to mind)

I don't see why abortion is even a debate. Personally I am neither for or against it. Like...it's not my body, it's not my problem sooooo Why would I care?!

21:00-21:14 PREACH IT! Honestly! They say “ Save the babies “ but once it born, no one cares about it.

As a child of abuse because my mother only had me to try and trap a guy, I do believe some babies shouldn’t be born. And with over population, babies from third world countries have a better chance of getting loving homes that can give them such a wonderful life. Also just to clarify, abortion should be a right for any woman! It is their body and they need to do what they feel they can.

Ironic how some people are so "pro life" and yet don't have one

The scene where that girl was held down reminded me of this “true story” that this women typed up on a blog. Apparently her boyfriend made her have an abortion when she was early on in pregnancy and she said that the clinicians held her down and didn’t stop the procedure even though she was begging them to stop. And the fact that people believed her when she said that is so dumb.

If we're able to pull the plug on braindead patients with a heartbeat, how come we can't have abortions? Just my view on things. These are the same people who say that patients 'shouldn't suffer', yet bring children into a world where they aren't able to eat, get abused, or neglected because their parents never wanted them. This is why I'll always be pro-choice, and why I'll try to be a foster parent in the future.

I assume the movie also forgets to mention that many abortions are carried out with abortion pills that you just take at home pre 10 weeks or in a clinic post 10 weeks which allows you to pass the pregnancy within a matter of hours. Coming from the UK where you can have an abortion up to 24 weeks no questions asked and without having to inform parents for under 18s, it's crazy to see stuff like this. The UK does offer certain services when someone goes in for an abortion like counselling services, ultra sound visits or an opportunity to discuss different methods of abortion or alternative options but it's all optional, though there are definitely cases of medical professionals pushing an agenda. Plus it's free!

it’s truly a nightmare being trapped in texas like so many of us are. it’s incredibly sad that even a genital-repulsed asexual like myself understands the importance of planned parenthood 100x better than allosexual pro-lifers. it’s literally not hard to listen to others, care about their wellbeing, and empathize with them, pro-lifers just choose not to. seriously, they need to get a grip on reality.

I'm from the UK and I'm honestly astonished that this basic right is still debated in the US.

i go to a catholic school and we have this thing called respect life week and like maybe a half a day is abt suicide prevention but everything else is about pro-life crap and it makes me and my friend group so mad bc for some reason our school thinks clumps of cells are more important than act ppl with feelings and they actually are making us watch this movie too and i’m pissed off

about the "if you don't want your mom to know maybe you shouldn't be doing it" thing: that feels like an unhealthy relationship with your mom imo, like my mom drove me to get my nipples pierced despite visibly cringing every time it's brought up. she HATES them, and yet she recognizes that its my body, and said welp might as well drive you there so you dont have to get on the bus in pain.

I am excited to watch this. I’m wondering if it’s the same one that I was made to watch way back in school, where these young girls were put in like forced birthing camps for eternity as punishment after dying during abortions? It was from some Christian film company and it was fucking wild.

i remember when my school took the whole class to watch this movie, every girl ended up scared as fuck of getting pregnant and or getting an abortion. I think this movie is so dangerous, the amount of misinformation it contains is so sickening. I’m so glad I didn’t fall for this bullshit

One time I told my mom that rape victims should be able to have abortions so to make sure how absolutely wrong I was she made me watch this movie. I was like eleven and damn it was traumatizing

years ago, my stepmom showed me this movie. after, she then literally asked what my opinion was about abortion

Apparently the guy who played the abortionist in the graphic scene was a real abortionist, one for like 30 years and then became pro-life. Which is sickening that he knows that that’s not how it works and continued to portray this lying fear mongering. Unless he actually did stuff like forcibly hold patients down and in that case he should be fucking tried in court.

My parents are super pro life. My mom taught me about abortion when I was pretty young and she said basically "stupid women make bad choices and regret it, so they cut the baby into a bunch of pieces and suck it out with a vacuum, it is murdering a child" I've learned most of the time it's just a pill and the fetus is not a baby or aware of what is going on. My step sister had to teach my step dad that the pill even existed. He had no idea and he's like 55 years old. Also I had to go to PP for a non-abortion reason, and my mom found out and started screaming full volume at me.

I was forced to watched this at church when I was 12, I'm 15 now and I'm still traumatized.

Oh my god my ex swore by this film like the Bible. Swore by it MORE than the Bible, actually

i went to christian school and had to watch it in class i hate this movie with my whole heart it made me more pro-choice out of sheer spite (edit: even many my of pro life classmates thought it was stupid and the acting/writing was laughably bad)

I remember when my aunt dragged me to the cinema to see this film. I'm still planning my revenge on her.

Taking away the right of a person to choose over their own body, means giving that person less rights than a corpse. When someone dies we cannot legally use their body, even if it saves another person, without their permission while they were still alive. Yet people are trying to force other people to use their bodies for another being, without their consent. Make it make sense.

Let's be honest, the worst crime in this film is Abby's wardrobe That end rant was f^çķiņğ glorious ❤ and your partner's contribution was very insightful lol.

As someone who has had an abortion, I really appreciate you spreading the correct information about the process and procedure. Thank you!

My catholic school took us to CINEMA for the premiere 💀💀 One girl fainted and one girl vomited 🙂

it really should be as simple as if you don’t like abortions, don’t have one. anyone else is none of your business

I was raised super catholic. By the time I was in middle school, I had been shown so many of these “pro life” pieces of media and fed so many gruesome “facts” about what happens during an abortion. (I even went to some pro life events, which I still deeply regret being involved in). At the same time, I learned nothing about consent, contraception, or even my own body. This type of fear mongering is extremely dangerous

This whole discussion of pro-life vs pro-choice has me really scared. My older sister is going off to an Ivy League college next year, and based on the research I’ve done ivies have elevated sexual assault/harassment rates compared to other colleges. It terrifies me that something bad may happen and she won’t be able to get the help she needs.

It's so interesting to me when antiabortionists use tales of women being forced to get an abortion as an argument against abortion, because it shows that they do know bodily autonomy is valuable, and just ignore it the rest of the time.

The fact that theres still people using this movie as evidence for how abortion shouldnt be legal is terrible.

I remember this story when I was fighting with my mom with the “pro-choice and pro-life” argument and she read it to me AND CRIED…cried bro I was tryin so hard not to laugh cause of how dumb the story sounded

omg this movie, ive seen a lot of people talking about it now, but I remember watching it years ago (don't remember when) and being like "yeah I'm still pro-choice" and my mom got EXTREMELY mad at me, even said she was gonna tell my dad I was pro abortion, that it was against our religion and yada yada yada (she was the one that showed me the movie, and I tried to explain to her that was not how that worked). Today thankfully shes pro choice and doesn't think abortion is against her religion anymore because various books and important people of the religion have done studies and wrote about how abortion isn't "killing a soul" or "stoping it from coming to earth" so now were okay

What she saw changed everything. A huge wad of cash.

wrote my whole ass bachelor thesis on how factually wrong and borderline propaganda this movie is. im glad more people talk about it. even tho its trashy and horribly executed the message is still incredibly harmful. great video!!

"unpregnant" and "never rarely sometimes always" are more progressive portrayals of abortion in film if anyone is interested in cleansing their pallet after hearing about this one. two very different vibes though, mind their synopsis!

I remember watching this movie with my mom, and she crying during the whole thing saying "this is gross", "its a sin", stuff like that 💀 she also watches Ben Shapiro so, surprise surprise ig

a little disappointed you didn’t mention that during the horrifically inaccurate abortion scene, the doctor says “beam me up scotty” before vacuuming the baby out

I previously interned at a gynae sector of a hospital as a student nurse. What happens when someone requests for an abortion (in my country, at least) is that they are required to 1. Have consultation twice; when they request it and a week before the procedure 2. Sit for therapy twice; a week before procedure and the day before taking the first pill (mifepristone) - P.S. they send you with the pill, so you can choose not to take it. 3. Admit you in the day after taking the first pill and, before administering the second pill (misoprostol) to expel the product of conception, you have to have another talk with the SN in charged. Yeah, do let me know when do they force people to go for abortions 🤡

I worked at a movie theater when this movie came out. The kind of people that went to see this movie were exactly who you think. Old, white maga hat men and their karen wives. I was so glad when this movie left the theater.

okay so my parents are fundies lol. and every year a local church holds a “film festival”. my parents always dragged my siblings and i to it and i had to watch it at the festival, it was terrible. and afterwards they had a guy from a “crisis pregnancy centre” (so if you come to them for unplanned pregnancies they just convince you to have the kid anyways) to answer questions

Pro lifers motto be like "if we fucked up our lives and our health, and have scarred our children and were scarred by our degenerate parents... then so must you"

tbh this isn't even a discussion on whether abortion will stop or not, but its instead whether we want to allow women to have it be done professionally and safely or diy-ed and dangerous

i'm from new york and i had a surgical abortion a few years ago. there is no way in hell that the doctors would let someone be awake during the procedure.

my pro-life mom made me see this movie in theaters with her and it traumatized me so thank you for breaking down all the misinformation about the fear-mongering medical scenes

Big ol' Trigger Warning for this: This film reminds me of a 3 hour prolife video my very catholic mother played for me while i was falling asleep when I was 12. It was ridiculously graphic, describing lots of details of horrible contraptions for abortions that were described as torturous, hundreds of bags of small body parts in bins, denying information to the parent so they are forced to have an abortion, etc. it was very traumatizing to hear and i was still firmly pro choice, even at 12, probably because I had recently started my period and could understand the gravity of an unwanted pregnancy. I hated that video and finally learnt about the misinformation some time later, but my mother gobbled up every word. I then had to quite literally fight for my rights with her from when i was 12 till when I was 14 with massive arguments and religious videos being thrown at me, either about abortion or the LGBTQ+ community, several nights a week till 12 or 1 am. All i could think of at that time was wow, if she or anyone else really were prolife or cared for the children, i, an already very abused child, would not be treated like this. I was so tired. She still believes to this day that is how abortions work and wrote several letters to the government about it. If they were really prolife, they wouldn't spread that misinformation and they would never applaud my mother for treating me that way. Firmly prochoice all the way

we had to watch this at my catholic all girls school in theology. i was only 14 and i won’t lie, it was almost convincing. my parents quickly put me back in my place, thank god. it’s so disturbing how manipulative and convincing they can be.

A family member of mine was talked out of an abortion from the protesters outside it was her 3rd child she couldn’t afford to have went on to have 5. They showed her inaccurate depictions of abortions and she changed her mind and went home. Her kids saw and still see poverty, homeless shelters, homelessness, abuse, etc.

I remember when I was pro-life and my mother took me and my male cousins to this movie. I fucking sobbed my eyes out. (Edit: I had just turned 14 when this came out and we saw it) I can tell you right now, that pro-life Christians do not encourage research or study. They rely on fear-mongering and rely on emotional responses to get their "points" across. So glad I came to my fucking senses and got educated. Especially since I'm an AFAB person

Imagine being so selfish that you take part in a propaganda campaign that could absolutely devastate the lives of countless women just to get back at your boss for firing you. With everything happening now she really should come out and tell people she lied if she has a shred of decency in her decrepit soul.

at this point, you’re not pro-choice or pro-life, you’re either right or you’re wrong. the whole idea of being pro one or the other almost belittles the entire situation. It’s not a matter of whether you like pineapple on your pizza or not, it’s about whether people deserve autonomy over their bodies or not.

wait a minute wait a minute.... you're telling me the coalition of life folks promise ppl they'll adopt their babies if they don't go through with the procedure... but DON'T?? that's a new level of cruelty wtf that real life case is incredibly tragic, but the sentence "pro-lifers killed him" is darkly ironic

I’m Christian and pro-choice. What if a teenager was raped and got pregnant? In Texas, they wouldn’t allow you to get the abortion. What if the child has severe defects? You wouldn’t want that child to suffer! It’s so sad how closed minded people are.

not my psychology teacher showing us the trailer for this movie in class ..... and praising it....

Thankfully I never heard about this movie, but it sounds like something a church would force their youth group to watch in a meeting
