UNPLANNED - An Atrocious Anti-Abortion Propaganda Movie

Partnered with Ridge Wallet, Check them out here! ridge.com/Cynical
‘Unplanned’ (2019) is one of the most egregious examples of a propaganda movie that I’ve ever seen. Based on a heavily disputed “true” story, it’s full of blatant inaccuracies and manipulative distortions, put forward in order to push its anti-abortion agenda and preach to its target audience. Let’s talk about that.

[@jessetorres8738]

When I was a kid, I had a relative who gave birth in the 6th month & sadly the child didn't survive long because their organs weren't fully developed. Afterwards, my relative found out she had a blood issue that she took medication for & was able to have another child later. Ever since then, my thoughts on being "pro-life" vs. "pro-choice" have always been abortion is fine in the 1st & 2nd trimesters since the child can't survive outside the womb on their own, but 3rd trimester it depends on if the birth will effect the life of the mother.

Literally had a person who was in charge in finding funds for the procedures -We check POC in the moment to make sure everything is accounted for to make sure the patients are taken care of -We pulled all patients back alone for first for any appointment type to ask ipv (interpersonal violence questions). So a patient wasn't pressured into anything they don't want to -My facility manager worked her ass off to make our recovery room comfortable -We were always training to be up to date on comfort, care, and knowledge -We always made sure the patients had a follow up plan and details on what to expect and when to call if you have a problem.

It just seems like they go so hard to make those with different views seem comically evil. Personally, I don't think abortions should be used as a form of birth control and shouldn't be performed after a certain period, unless it's for medical reasons. But that doesn't mean that I think abortions shouldn't be available. It's up to the individual to make that choice for themselves and I'm not going to harass anyone for making a choice that I may not agree with. I wish we all could stop judging each other as a group and start taking people and scenarios on an individual, case by case basis. Life isn't black and white, there are many shades of gray. I just try to treat everyone with respect, kindness and grace. Unless I'm driving, but I am working on having more patience behind the wheel! 🤣❤️

when pro lifers shut down a planned parenthood in a city I used to live in, thousands of local women lost access to prenatal care that helped many of them carry healthy wanted pregnancies to term more safely. Planned Parenthood's abortion services make up like less than 10% of their total expenditures, they do so much for cancer screening, STD testing and treatment, prenatal care, and healthcare for communities. Showing it as like 99% abortion services is beyond absurd, many pregnant people who come into clinics are there to receive ultrasounds and check ups and they're still harassed and abused by protesters.

As someone who has had an abortion at Planned parenthood I can tell you that 32:55 is a complete lie. They tell you upfront that an abortion is $600. They don't wait until the ultrasound. In fact the ultrasound is usually optional. In my state of Missouri though, it was required by law at the time for them to preform and show you the ultrasound. The price is also negotiable. I paid $45 for mine because I was deeply impoverished and qualified for a charity to cover most of my fees. In addition they were not at all pushy about abortions. They explained all my options and even gave me information to groups that could help me if I kept the baby, groups that offered things like housing and adoption assistance. Its very disappointing that many people only know PP for abortions when they do so much more. The abortion was the first time I went there but since then I've been going to them for everything from birth control to endometriosis treatment.

The Holocaust comparison REALLY pisses me off for two reasons. 1: I'm Jewish, and the attempted systematic extermination of my people shouldn't be used as a talking point for forced-birthers. Fetuses cannot survive outside the womb, they aren't people imo. Holocaust victims were independent, thinking, feeling human beings who were slaughtered due to their ethnicity. The comparison is insulting. 2: One of the often overlooked heroes of the Holocaust is Dr. Gisella Perl. She was an Hungarian Jewish gynecologist who was imprisoned in Auschwitz and later Bergen-Belsen. Because of her medical background, she was forced to assist Josef Mengele, the monster who experimented on prisoners. Mengele had a particular obsession with pregnant women. When Perl realised what Mengele was doing to these women and children, she swore that there would never be a pregnant woman in Auschwitz again. She performed hundreds of abortions at night, in secret, and with no proper medical tools in order to keep these women away from Mengele and the other Nazis (who liked to beat pregnant women to death or throw them into crematoriums alive). It was tragic, since some of these women did probably want their babies, but Perl knew that being pregnant would lead to the horrific deaths of two lives, so she resolved to save the one life she could. After the camps were liberated, Perl looked for her family, and found out her husband, son, parents, and extended family were all dead, and her daughter was missing. She tried to kill herself but failed. She eventually went to he U.S as a speaker about the Holocaust, wrote a book about her experience, and started practicing medicine again in New York City, where she delivered thousands of babies. Before she entered the delivery room, Dr. Perl would always say, "G-d, you owe me a life, a living baby." Perl eventually found out her daughter was alive in Israel and moved there to be with her. Apparently, some Jewish women in Israel and in other places recognized her, and they thanked her for saving their lives. Abortion not only saved the lives of Holocaust victims, it saved them from sadistic torture at the hands of one of humanity's worst monsters. So I hope I don't have to explain why using the Holocaust as some "gotcha" against abortion is beyond horrible. Fuck this movie, fuck forced-birthers, and fuck every single asshole who uses my people's worst massacre as a talking point.

as someone who actually had an abortion, and dont regret it, but- they asked me if I were sure, and offered resources in case i DID want to keep the baby. We did an ultrasound and they let me keep 2-3 copies of what they looked like, lol they didnt “refuse” to let me see the fetus, they just let me make the final decision after showing me. No pressure in either direction, it was just part of the process. Completely painless other than being slightly sore. And told not to strain myself. Which I worked out pretty heavy despite that, so I wound up having minor bleeding as a result. For me personally, no lasting physical drawbacks.

The first abortion scene is so weird. It's 13 weeks, so it wouldn't even be moving to begin with. A fetus starts kicking and moving around 20 weeks, and if it's needed to be delivered at 23 weeks or earlier, it won't survive. Cause well, nothing developed enough for it to survive. Even babies born around 28-30 weeks are going to need a lot of medical intervention in order to have a chance to survive. So 13 week fetus wouldn't even be able to "struggle to survive" cause it wouldn't be aware of what's happening

Once, in my very late teens/early 20s, I had a job that didn't have health insurance. I had read somewhere that planned parenthood (in my town it was called "womens health center" but it was a planned parenthood) gave free womans healthcare (pap smears, gyn, etc.) I had a cyst on my ovary, for which I had went to the emergency room. Anyway I went to this planned parenthood because I couldn't afford a private GYN. I, being young and having not read the news, was surprised to see a bunch of women standing outside and stopping people. One of the ladies stopped me and said "your mother wouldn't want you to do this. You look like a good girl, your mother loves you." And I was like "my mom wouldn't want me to get a pap smear?" I was so confused. 😂 and the lady, also confused, was like "what?" And I was like "also, my mom is dead." And she was like "oh, I'm so sorry" and walked off.

We went back the next day to tell security what happened and ask if they had any CCTV footage of that angle (they didn't). I stayed in the car. My boyfriend walked out of the building alone, and one of the protesters yelled "save your baby!" at him. It was just so weird and asinine to be shouting that at a lone man.

I was asked numerous times if this is what I wanted (as I could have continued my pregnancy, but the chances were very low and my health would be at even greater risk). Never heard anyone speak about anything political despite being during a time when states were banning it. They were so damn compassionate to where the nurse opened up to me about how she had to have one done with similar complications and how it broke her heart as she wanted to have a child. She let me know what I may experience, how I might feel, etc. Even my doctor was real kind about everything. Was given privacy and they called me to check up on me twice. It was my first and I hope it will be my last. Definitely not an experience I ever want to go through again, and I am sure many other women also feel the same. It’s not fun. You’re down for days and feel a lot of cramps and pain. There’s people that actually believes women are going and getting it done on the regular …. what fools.

She died and left 10 kids to be raised by any family member willing to stick their necks out which unfortunately we didn't have many at that time.

Rules for abortions vary by state (and since I'm writing this in 2024, half of us can't even get them at all anymore 🙃), but I'll give my experience as someone who got an abortion at age 18 in Michigan: Before even getting the pregnancy test, I filled out a form that includes the question, "If you are pregnant, what options are you considering?" I wrote "abortion" and that's it. There were many other questions about family planning that I just skipped, because I knew for sure. After the positive test, I had to go in for a required counseling session where they discussed other options with me, including adoption. They weren't outright trying to change my mind, but it was clear that they were legally required to do these things. Naturally, they went over all the risks of abortion. There was 1 mention that it was safer than labor. I chose to do a medical (pill) abortion, which means we could have started it that day. But nope! First I had to wait a MANDATORY 5 DAYS so that I could "think it over." Came back 5 days later (did I mention it was a 1.5 hour drive both ways?) with my same decision. I was forced to have an ultrasound, and forced to look at the sonogram. It didn't affect me, but I'm sure it affects other women. I then had to sign paperwork saying that after I took the first pill they gave me in the office, I would take the second one. (It had to be taken hours later, but I was allowed to do it at home.) I got all kinds of paperwork about what could happen if I only took the first pill (birth defects, miscarriage). I signed it, went home, had my abortion. I had to return a few weeks later to get another ultrasound ensuring that the pregnancy had been fully terminated. I was given a questionnaire about how I'd been feeling since the abortion and offered free counseling, which I didn't need. After that, Planned Parenthood prescribed me birth control and did my pap smears for free. The reason I had gotten pregnant in the first place is because I had been kicked off my insurance when I turned 18, because I had a preexisting condition... CERVICAL CANCER. The cancer had been treated with surgery, but I was supposed to get screenings every 3 months to ensure it hadn't returned. My previous hospital -- Univ. of Michigan, one of the top hospitals in the world -- would not see me as a patient any longer, despite my high risk. Planned Parenthood did those cancer screening every 3 months for the next 4 years. They gave me birth control. They saved my life.

[@gb213]

​@@mathildeyoung1823 that's actually in the works. artificial wombs would be able to resume certain pregnancies in the 2nd trimester until they develop to term. win-win situation. and, that's still by definition an abortion despite fundamentalists like to describe it. as that improves we may be able to perform abortions that never require killing the unborn human at almost any stage of that pregnancy.

When I went to get an abortion many years ago, the worst part of the whole experience was the people outside yelling filthy things at me (at that time hopelessly addicted to opioids) and my (then) abusive boyfriend. I still can’t figure out how yelling insults at vulnerable people in bad situations is a loving, Christian duty. It’s not a solution, it didn’t help anything - but you could totally tell they were enjoying themselves calling me names and reminding me that hell awaits. By the by, after the abortion I got rid of the guy, got off drugs, and got my act together - these days I’m happily married to a good man and we’ve got a bunch of kids and dogs and cats. My life is full of love. Don’t ever let someone force you into carrying a pregnancy to term if you don’t feel safe - if it feels wrong, follow your gut and try again when you’re ready.

[@meifennellysieu7510]

I'm so sorry you went through all that. Some people forget that just because they believe in a purpose they find noble, it doesn't mean it justifies being a bully. (And as a Christian, I want to apologize for those of us that frankly suck, and choose to foster hatred). Anyway, I'm really happy that your life is going better now. Your family sounds awesome, and I'm happy that they're loving and good to you :)

[@ProjectCancelledAU]

I'm so sorry you had to go through that, it is really hypocritical how they act, but congratulations to you for how you brought yourself out of that situation.

Personally, I’m Pro-Life, but I’m also Pro-Choice. While I would much prefer it if pregnant women choose to give their unborn babies up for adoption rather than abort them, I feel that they should have that choice. And if they do choose to have abortions, I would rather that it be safe.

Yeah I’m he same way. Unless the baby of course has passed away and still in my womb. I just can’t believe that she believes that her biracial child should be subjected to racial profiling simply because he has a skin color he has no way of changing. Yeah she’s mother of the year all right!🤦🏽‍♀️ I’m half Latina half Jewish took after my mom mostly. I just got my dad’s freckles. He is fair skin and blues. My brother took a little more after him. Light medium skin with grey is blue eyes. Since my mom brothers have been treated horrible by the police is the past she would just tell me to be careful. I didn’t really get until after school I road my skate board with a few friends to the mall which was pretty close. My friend and my decided( who was white) to Into a bath and body works looks for Mother’s Day gifts. At one point we separated a so was check out all the lotions and this one lady who was looking at me watching my every step. She already asked if I needed help I said no.why she continued to follow I wasn’t sure. I started staring at my friend at the other side of the store and she could tell I was getting bothered. So she just said flat out “why are you following her still, she said she doesn’t need help”. “Maybe I need help you haven’t asked me at all.” So she went to my friend while still staring at me. I had three different bottle lotions and some sprays my mom might like and then she said she want to just look into my bag. I asked why and she said “it’s routine sometimes I have to check if I suspect something.” I said “no and now I’m not going to buy any of this stuff no and my friend said the same. And they called security. They took my friend and I told their office and called my parents. When dad stepped in they were suddenly surprised. Because he looks like the average white dude. My friend and I told my dad what happened. My dad stated my brothers and he shop at bath and body works all the time for gifts for my mom. His sons were never followed or questioned. All my friends who were waiting were saying the same thing that this was a first of them. Of course not for my mother and I. No it was probably that one employee but my dad threatened them and was red in the face. They even said you know what you guys can even have the stuff we want free of charge. I just said “no thank you the smells now make me sick to my stomach and I don’t want to be reminded of this lady and her ugliness. I mean ugly in the inside. It was also more then just her following me it was her attitude and arrogance that got to me. And if she raises a good kid and think it’s alright for the police or the security guards hassle him more because of statistics and it doesn’t bother her make her a sh*tty mom. And obviously has no concern for her childs well being. All bc of “statistics “ And I do have family in law enforcement, and they know exactly what I’m talking about they have faced it at least one or even several times. That why my favorite cousin decided he wanted to be a cop. He didn’t what happened to us happen to other innocent kids. And he had horrible issues with police racially profiling him. So this lady is a schmuck and i really feel bad for her kid.

It's not just "X to doubt"...I have been screamed at by those people just for going in to get my IUD (or get it replaced), because they either A) Already think ALL these places do is abortions, or B) They saw this movie and took that "Only abortions on Saturdays" line is legit...I don't actually know, but like...I have only ever gone to Planned Parenthood on weekends, and I have never had, nor needed, an abortion. It's ridiculous.

[@Bugaboo173]

The planned parenthood where I live doesn’t even perform abortions, and you still see protestors standing outside the clinic. These prolifers really don’t want to do their research

[@len.caro9]

Not Saturdays, but I was a volunteer escort at a PP in college and two days a week, they only did abortion services. One day was counseling, the other day was procedures (because my state had a waiting period). From what I understand, it was because PP received federal funding but couldn't use any of it for abortion. We actually had to turn away people coming for BC on those days and tell them to come back the next day because of this. And yes, the protests were much larger on abortion days.

[@ChaffyExpert]

Your still supporting and giving business to an evil corporation regardless of if it's for an abortion. The protesters are in the right here.

I didn't leave but I completely understood those who did. To be honest, I considered leaving just because I was so enraged that a priest is showing literal teenagers such propaganda at school.
