Marketing Unplanned has been an uphill battle for a few months now, since the MPAA saddled the film with an R rating, which filmmakers say will chase away a key demographic: Christians. Indeed, Up TV cited the R rating when it also rejected the commercial, as did several Christian radio channels that also refused to air ads for Unplanned.
Johnson, 38, is a pro-life activist who previously worked as one of the youngest Planned Parenthood employees ever to earn the title of clinic director. She released her Unplanned memoir in October 2011 after resigning from her position in October 2009. Johnson, who says she helped orchestrate 22,000 abortions before leaving Planned Parenthood, claimed to have quit after seeing an abortion take place on an ultrasound.
The abortion doctor explains that he needs to perform an “ultrasound-guided procedure” and wants Abby to “hold probe” on the ultrasound. While he makes preparations for the abortion, Abby sets up the ultrasound and suddenly we hear a heartbeat and see a 13-week-old baby on the monitor. The girl receiving the abortion begins to panic, as the abortion doctor yells at her to “hold still!” The nurse holds her down, coldly lecturing her, “You want it done, don’t you?”
At this point, the abortion doctor begins to place a catheter in the girl’s cervix to perform a suction D&C abortion. As we can clearly see on the monitor, the baby reacts viscerally to what is taking place: “It just moved away from the catheter,” Abby says, stunned.
“They always move. That’s why I do it this way!” the doctor snaps back.
