Last night our church went together to see the movie Unplanned. It was the best Christian movie I've ever seen. A few months ago I read the book and the movie stayed true to the book. It's rated R for two scenes. The first scene is an actual abortion that is filmed via an ultrasound. It is heartbreaking and I could not watch it. I'd seen it before on line but it was too hard to watch on a big screen as you see the baby try to get away from the suction! The second scene is one where the main character, Abby takes the RU-486 and hemorrhages. It's amazing how many movies have just a PG or PG-13 rating for all kinds of violence and gore but this movie that shows the reality of abortion gets an R rating.
The thing that stuck with me most about the movie was that Abby's parents and husband disagreed with her career but yet they still loved her and were there for her. That's how Christian families should be & I hope we would be like that if we disagreed with our children's choices. But the parents and the husband kept praying for her eyes to be opened and they were.
So I'd recommend this movie 100% It's not my type of movie- I prefer mindless comedy but it is a movie that can change people's perspective on abortion. Shad went with us and talked about the movie all the way home. It made an impact on him.
