Unplanned Movie
According to the official page of the movie, it is a film that tackles one of the most divisive issues of today. Unplanned gives an inside perspective of the abortion industry from a woman who used to be its most ardent supporter.
The page also mentioned that Cary Solomon and Chuck Konzelman, the film's creators, were inspired to bring this amazing true tale to the big screen after discovering Abby Johnson's best-selling book of the same name, giving a platform to a woman who has been on both ends of the abortion debate.
Synopsis
The page said that Unplanned is an uplifting true story about a woman's conversion.
Abby Johnson had only ever wanted to support women. She was one of the youngest Planned Parenthood clinic administrators, having been involved in over 22,000 abortions and counseling numerous women on their reproductive options.
The page continued to say that her zeal for a woman's right to choose pushed her to become a spokesman for Planned Parenthood, where she fought for legislation to support the cause she so strongly believed in.
Until one day, Abby Johnson witnessed something that transformed everything, driving her to join her old foes at 40 Days For Life and become one of America's most outspoken pro-life advocates.
