Stop me if this is NOT true.

Did you read the top part? Then Lifetime, A&E, Travel channel, HGTV, Discovery, Food network, Hallmark channels and other refused to run paid ads. Then on it's debut weekend, twatter suspended Unplanned's account for awhile and refused to allow people to follow it.

I don't know. Seems kind of a fascistic approach to a small faith based movie, but then the left establishment is great at doing all it can to shut down opposing viewpoints they don't want people to hear.

That's cool, tho. It already made 6.4 million. More then it's budget, in the 1st weekend.

I honestly haven't seen it from the right for a long time. Unless I'm missing something.

I see. It does look like they've not been very successful in their boycotts and haven't done much in awhile. But fair enough. The SPLC designates them as a hate group so they must do some good work lol but it's not quite the same as facebook, twitter, twitter rage mobs, antifa, college and universities that charge conservative speakers thousands of dollars of security charges or won't host them at all, Youtube demonitizing rightwingers, Patreon banning accounts, Citibank closing bank accounts and probably more stuff that I forget. I remember what it was like after 911 but the pendulum has waaaay shifted.

That is subjective and I'm not talking about bigoted people. Martina Markota got her Chase bank account shut down. Why? Because she voted Trump, is a conservative and doesn't follow sjw ideology.

They use to do good work but they have been turned into a cudgel. I hope they crumble.

I doubt they could as they probably could be open too a lawsuit. Here, check this out, it has a happy ending but still. Just a taste of the atmosphere, not corporate. See memes.

That one guy who makes all democrats look bad.

I wasn't going to put it up but it was too good a chance to miss.
Here, have a gif :)

It's a bunch of moms. What do you expect.

^ That's my screenshot from the official trailer on YouTube, still showing since posted in January.

Someone choosing to have an abortion and someone not choosing to watch but still seeing a promo for a movie glorifying the horror of it are two different things, one that does not take into consideration that the original premise - abortion is vile and disgusting and cruel - may very well be true.

The movie itself gets far more graphic than this, dramaticized as opposed to actual footage hardly makes it any better to witness. This is, by design, not a Rated G flick. It's SUPPOSED to disturb audiences. Abortion is a consequence of sex and nudity, and depictions of abortion (down to a fetus clinging to the womb as it get sucked out by a tube) is a bit past Arnold shooting a futuristic alien from outer space with lazer beams in terms of violence.
Crowds yelling "Baby killer" and "Baby cutter" are likewise not making this family fare either.

Raving that it made a whole $6 million the first week - way beyond what it took to create the movie - suggests that their marketing budget could not have been that high. There's a reason we don't see commercials for the likes of Joe Bigby's Muddin' Rednecks' Zombie Catfish Massacre, and it isn't prissy tv execs beholden to a nefarious political agenda.

Now you add that miniscule budget to a film whose name is meant to defame Planned Parenthood - as per its subject - as well as add a list of the usual rabid Soros & Co people killerz, and you have a hot crock pot for legal liability, one those who chose not to air the ad in the celebrated 2:15am time slot in Thursday night might not think worth opting for.

On a positive note, while doing my 10 secs of research, I skimmed through part of a Daily Beast article that was so over the top negative on Unplanned it seemed like a parody of editorializing. From that I have learned that when people on this site call me leftist, it isn't because they're going sweet on me. These dang mofos have been ragging on me this whole time, the bastards.

Anyways, excuse the glib attitude, but this is the nth try making this reply as my tablet was going wonky on me and giving major agida. My yelling at the device (combined with being under the weather) has made me semi delirious from hyperventilating, and so laughing at stupid humans that to date can't figure out why ALL the Gods (not including bogus LeVayism) hath doth commandeth to not fuucketh around because the stork may doth cometh.

... because the stork doth cometh is just part of the package deal when dealing with these silly cretins who don't know how to keep their zippers up.

Abortion should be outlawed and replaced with mass sterilization because people are just to busy chucking their guilt at everyone else instead of applying it to themselves like every damned religion since plankton started worshipping the sun done told them to.

Ever notice that? The only creatures in creation that commit sin under normal conditions (your mutant fat pet cat killing birds when not hungry does not count as normal) are also the only ones to have a concept of it. The more religious, the more pious, the more preachy, the more corrupt and sinful.

Ironic, isn't it?

too* busy

I don't know if this can count, but you are right about the more religious, the more corrupted. I get harassed by a christian dude every day for not being a member of his religion.

I agree that it is suppose to be shocking. I think there should be another classification like a r rating yet for 11 year olds or something along those lines. I can only imagine what the kids today are being taught in sex ed but I'd be willing to bet the negatives or possible negatives of abortion are glossed over. Add the fact that so many kids are being pressured to lose their virginity by 13/14.

Also agree that this wasn't a new marvel movie with a wall to wall advertising blitz, and I get corporations often try to shun controversy but I believe this movie suffered alot of various obstacles like the recent Gosnell movie. It's a pattern.

lol

I appreciate the reply despite having to work through the technical difficulties!
