I'm referring to the 20 seconds showing the ultrasound view of an abortion in the new movie UNPLANNED:

https://www.unplannedfilm.com/

We saw the movie this weekend. I do not believe there was a woman in the theater who was not in tears after the scene in question.

The movie is somewhat "Hollywoodized" and tedious in spots, but nonetheless a powerful anti-abortion film.

If this movie doesn't long-term start the ball rolling for abortion to be utterly banned in this country, then nothing else will in my opinion.

Go see it. If you are pro-life, and especially if you are pro-choice.

This really falls into the who cares category. It really doesn't matter what you religious beliefs are everyone should shut up and let the individual choose what they want to do. This is a very sensitive topic and traditionally only hypocrites argue the point......on both sides. The Left and Right are both hypocrites when it come to this. And the WORSE part is that the Religious Right are play checkers when they should be playing chess........ Not thinking at all with their opposition of pro choice.


This thread will get closed real quick as there is going to be a bunch of emotional crap thrown into it and no logic at all.

I really don't see any logic at all in legally giving a person a choice to kill another human life due to inconvenience or better yet, privacy. No emotion - just logic.

Bah! This film isn’t going to change anything. It will galvanize the pro-life movement...for about a week, then back to business as usual. The pro-life movement is already maximally galvanized. As for me, I don’t need to see this movie.. its sensationalist shock value is wasted on me.

So you don't support the death penalty? Because there is no logical reason to keep someone in jail for their entire life...... No reason at all except for an emotional one in that it is bad to kill. Be cause it is VERY inconvenient for me to pay for this all of the time.

Before this degenerates into bickering I would hope people would actually SEE the movie before commenting....

I'd be interested to see if some people call it nothing but CGI propaganda, or if it causes people to post about their own experiences with Planned Parenthood.

Just sayin....

Truer words never spoken on this forum. Laws taking away personal choices and freedoms are good? Or bad? Looks like it depends on how it jives with one’s personal beliefs.

"See the film before you condemn it."

I don't recall a single person in the film saying one word about outlawing the practice. There are, however, several scenes where the "pro abortion" faction apparently wants to control the narrative all the way through the process. According to the film, "pro choice" doesn't extend to the person about to have the procedure getting all the information about potential health hazards of going through with it.

Most of what's against the film in this thread isn't even in the movie.

Take the emotion away (I know it's not possible) but equating abortion to just personal beliefs pretty disingenuous.

It is by definition taking a life out of inconvenience. So that should just be the standard.

I realize it's a gradient of the life value of the individuals in question. The mother's life is worth more than the baby so she gets to make the decision to end the baby's life.

That logic should be extended to all of society. Prisoners, welfare recipients, elderly, foster children, terminally ill, etc. should all fall under the choice of their caretaker to end their life.

Telling people with a different view than yours to "shut up" is an interesting way to assert your view as the only "logic" and others are just too emotional for reasoned debate.

Maybe consider setting an example of reasoned debate rather than demeaning the other side as just "religious beliefs".

Other than the sequence I refer to in my first post, the movie for the most part is against the abortion industry, not the concept of abortion in and of itself.

This is a pretty accurate review minus all the histrionics:

https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2019/04/01/nolte-unplanned-beats-blacklisting-campaign-with-6-1-million-opening/#


a film that dares to question the ethics of abortion and the industry getting rich off of it

In other words, it's less a political statement against abortion in and of itself and more a criticism of the industry that controls it. Women are carefully groomed to see abortion as their only alternative from the minute they enter the parking lot of the clinic.

Not condemning the film, but certainly not going to see it. I don’t go to abortion films no matter which side of this issue is hawking them. What I’m saying is that the assertion that this movie, or any movie, will “change the country” on ANY political or religious agenda is likely to be pretty wide of the mark.

And yet you haven't seen the movie. Watch the video of the "fetus" trying to get away from the suction device and come back and post that you didn't at least react to seeing that.

I think it will change the country. People who are uninformed about the actual process will (and should be) horrified.

Imagine how you'd feel watching someone tie a dog to a post and then proceed to kill it on camera. Same type of horror.

I do support it. The death penalty is just that...a penalty that was ruled as deserved. Killing an innocent child for convenience is a totally different thing altogether. That child did nothing to deserve it. That's like saying murder and killing someone in self defense is the same thing. Not even close.

There are already enough people in this country.

1/3 of them are on the dole.

When you add government workers etc, this number is more like 1/2.

College graduates cannot get jobs. Student loans and real estate are out of control. Illegals busting in by the millions. Legal immigrants busting in by the millions.

I don't not want anymore people. I do not want anymore land development.

Trump avoided this albatross during his campaign and won the election.

If those liberals want to abort themselves, let them get an abortion.

Here is my point. Since you ASSUME that I said that you have to agree with me...... What side of the argument do you think I am on? As I have not actually said either way. My point is that those that do pick a side and try to defend it will not actually use any type of logical argument.

If you are on welfare you should be drug tested and sterilized.

My locale has some of the highest property taxes per square foot of house in the nation.

Why is that?

Its because of all the illegals working the meat packing plants along with a bunch of white trash meth addicts breeding children, that don't pay any taxes to offset the cost of their family on the system.

Just an FYI for those that don't know the history of Title 10 Funding:

The Title X Family Planning Program, officially known as Public Law 91-572 or "Population Research and Voluntary Family Planning Programs", was enacted under President Richard Nixon in 1970 as part of the Public Health Service Act. Title X is the only federal grant program dedicated solely to providing individuals with comprehensive family planning and related preventive health services. Title X is legally designed to prioritize the needs of low-income families or uninsured people (including those who are not eligible for Medicaid) who might not otherwise have access to these health care services. These services are provided to low-income and uninsured individuals at reduced or no cost.[1] Its overall purpose is to promote positive birth outcomes and healthy families by allowing individuals to decide the number and spacing of their children.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_X

It was actually the creation of the Conservatives in Congress and the Conservative President. It was in fact a plan to retaliate to the liberal Welfare Act that was passed by the Johnson Administration a few years before. The Money that the US Government uses to pay for abortions and birth control for the general public was created by the Conservative/ Religious Right.

Again people should know what they are arguing about..... I am sure that both sides would act in disbelief in knowing who started this whole thing...... and especially the WHY.

I see that they have succeeded in horrifying you with their film. Mission accomplished! Your strident outrage exemplifies the entire point of making the film. You were their target audience and they hit the mark. But over the years there has never been a shortage of horrifying messages and images from anti-abortion groups, and they’ve been published for years. You must know that, in the scheme of things, nothing will change because of this film. It’s just more propaganda in a field littered with propaganda that’s been accumulating over almost a century. As it always has... it will further horrify the true faithful and won’t affect the beliefs of those committed to pro-choice.

For context, I have worked security/protests at an abortion clinic before.

"See the film before you condemn it." Parts are difficult to watch. BTW I have zero outrage. I'm very objective on this subject. I didn't want to see the film but my girlfriend dragged me to it. After watching it I had to concede that maybe the pro-abortion types have done such a good job of foisting their propaganda on the public that people will think they know all about the subject before watching the movie. That was certainly true of me. I was kind of "meh" about the subject until yesterday. I'm not ready to become an activist, but I do believe women are being lied to.

so more black babies are killed in NY then born ?

we have killed more babies by so called choice as some on the left say its empowering ! ironic as that is what dictators feel about killing people as do mass murderers etc..

history will be interesting to read since more babies have been killed then all war added up
so called justified ?

how about you start a life you are not allowed to end it

let's use a heart beat for the start maybe ? since nobody can live without a heart beat so the moment the heart starts beating you will be charged with murder and see how that changes things

and then let's turn that roll around to the children that are born can decide to end the heart beat of the parents if they felt they did not do a proper job raising them ? or maybe near end of life if the parents need care we just say leave it up to the kids to decide the fate ?

Your post is a little choppy but I think I agree with your premise.

If we are all going to agree that ending other lives out of convenience is going to be acceptable I don't see that it makes any sense to just stop at unborn babies.

It makes much more logical sense to end the lives of all the people on welfare or unemployment, retirees living off social security, handicapped/special needs people, folks on life support in the ICU, etc.

When I was in college I actually had to argue in favor of abortion as part of a debating class. My argument was that since Charles Manson had pretty much been unwanted his entire life, the lives of Sharon Tate and the other victims of the Manson family could have been saved had Charles Manson been aborted. I won the debate.

Later on, I decided my entire argument was fallacious because you don't know at a young age that a new child is going to grow up to be a monster. What if Charles Manson had gone on to discover the cure for some major disease instead of....becoming a major disease?

It's a tough argument but the more I think about it the whole abortion thing gets to eugenics, deciding who will live and die, assisted suicide for the elderly, culling the herd of anyone "inferior", and a whole can of worms of people playing God.

Supposedly, I don't know if it's true or not, but Margaret Sanger started Planned Parenthood to make sure the populations of "people of color" didn't grow. Whether that's true or not I think it has become not only an aspect of "family planning" but also "population planning".

Not really. Just because someone commits a certain crime doesn't make them 100% bad. Now I'll agree child molesters, rapists and serial killers are scum that aren't worth a bullet to put them out of society's misery, but it is possible for a person to do a bad thing or two but still have some redeeming qualities. I can't stand gangbangers either, but it is possible for a person to get caught up in something before they know what's happening. They get stuck in a life and can't get out even though they want to. Then there are those that get tempted one time and get caught. Maybe if they had it to do over again they would have resisted the urge to do something illegal that they thought would make them a ton of money or something. I've met very few perps that were totally unredeemably evil, but then again this was a backwater area for a long time.

Agreed. It also seems to be understood how such things can and do lead to a slippery slope, unless it jibes with with one’s personal beliefs then there does not appear to be any fear of a slippery slope. We who support the 2A realize a ban on bump stocks impacts essentially no one beyond some range wanna be types who want to waste ammo, but we know instinctively that it starts with bump stocks and continues on until you need a license for a slingshot. Anti gunners of course think we're just paranoid and it's ridiculous to worry about. Point being, if it jibes with personal beliefs, there's often a blind spot in terms of seeing the possible directions such things can, and likely will, go.

Two, the reasons pro choice factions/people fight any changes at all, some which may be warranted, is the same reason we fight a bump stock ban, because we know that for many, there is not middle ground to be found and the goal is ultimately to get all guns out of the hands of the law abiding citizen. So, knowing the goal at all times for those who want abortion banned is not to find any middle ground but get it banned, means those who are pro choice will fight any and every step to reduce access of any kind.

If i actually thought the Brady Bunch or Moms Without Common Sense et all actually believed in the 2A but would stop at say bump stocks, or even ARs, I wouldn't be as concerned with bump stocks being banned truth be told.

That's best non triggering parallel I can think of.

As do I. One of the reasons I had so much respect for Dr. Koop was he was unwilling to put his personal beliefs ahead of science. He was personally anti abortion, but when the administration told him to support claims that having an abortion put women at great medical or psych risk, he refused, because that's not supported by the science. He's a man I had to respect for several reasons, but that he always refused to allow personal views to dictate his positions if the science didn't support it, and that's what made him a great SG:

"Reagan, however, drafted Dr. Koop into the abortion debate toward the end of his second term when he asked the Surgeon General to write a report about the psychological effects of abortion on women. Reagan, who much to the chagrin of his far-right followers had done little to restrict access abortion domestically during his presidency (though he did huge damage to women’s health internationally) believed this might be an argument that—if documented—could be used to limit abortion access. Koop was reluctant to take on the task because it was too political. In his autobiography, Dr. Koop: The Memoirs of America’s Family Doctor, he noted that he was naïve at the time and failed to understand that Reagan expected him to oppose abortion zealously.

He did not. Instead he interviewed experts and activists on both sides and found that even more so than in the debate over AIDS, anti-choicers skewed science to fit their point of view. After doing the research, he concluded that there: “was no unbiased, rigorous scientific research on the effects of abortion on women’s health that could serve as the basis for a Surgeon General’s report on the issue.”

I can't stand gangbangers either, but it is possible for a person to get caught up in something before they know what's happening. They get stuck in a life and can't get out even though they want to. Then there are those that get tempted one time and get caught. Maybe if they had it to do over again they would have resisted the urge to do something illegal that they thought would make them a ton of money or something. I've met very few perps that were totally unredeemably evil, but then again this was a backwater area for a long time.

So I was going to try to make a point about how the abortion thing is emotional because it's babies... I was googling some pics of cute coyote pups and was going to make the point that they grow up into nuisance killers.

Then I happened across a forum of taxidermy enthusiasts posting photos of dead skinned out baby coyote pup bodies that they were putting into cute poses.

Basically the right answer is that the entire planet Earth needs to be aborted. Humans are just totally f'd up as a whole.

This fussing over other peoples lives and choices is the epitomy of a 1st world problem. We need an huge influx of actual man eating predators in this world to occupy peoples apparent excess of worry.

No buttons. I'm against abortion but it usually elicits a big yawn from me. Like I said I didn't even really want to see the movie. Literally I think no one but me has seen the movie yet, but everyone's an SME. I was hoping for comments on the movie and not everyone's ingrained opinion on the whole ball of wax. Guess I should have known this cannot be discussed intelligently without people getting upset. I looked at it fairly objectively. "Convince me", was my attitude, and I guess the movie did its job because there were things I didn't know or care about, and now it's hard for me to look at this as just a form of birth control.

I wanted to know if people thought the sequence in question was just CGI, or if people think it's a real sonogram. I wanted to know if people thought the main character was somewhat of an airhead given it took her so long to actually find out what was going on at the clinic she managed.

Just some things I thought could be brought up.


Instead no one is discussing the movie for the most part (a few exceptions).

I error on the side of liberty in matters of grey areas or what I may not fully understand. I also error on the side of life in such matters.

What people consider to be, or not to be “life” or just “cells” is of no bearing, what’s right is right and wrong is wrong.

Perception and opinion could articulate why any “thing” at any “stage” is justified as life and deserves rights a such or is just a slump of cells and doesn’t deserve rights as such.

I will not terminate a life without a legitimate reason or cause, and those circumstances are very few and far between. If others choose to do so, even if they justify the act by choosing to perceive a life as a clump if cells; it is sad and wrong. I WILL NEVER be complicit in these actions nor will I be complacent in allowing them.

To choose the fate of even a “clump of cells” that will ultimately become a life, is not a choice that is mine without consequence, nor should it be.

Either it’s okay to kill at will without responsibility, or it is not.

We cannot say for sure without a reasonable doubt- what constitutes a life versus “not quite a life yet”. So we should error on the side of life. Error on the side of liberty and what is right and just.

I care and love too much to have even a slight possibility of being responsible or complicit with murder of an innocent human.

I care and love too much to possibly extinguish a life that could have been.

If you see things differently, I don’t really understand, but I feel slightly sorry for you.

The movie will, unfortunately, not change anyone's mind.

There is no one "on the fence" - people either believe that killing an unborn child is murder or they don't and the folks that believe in abortion won't be watching the movie.

My take:

Abortion to end an unwanted pregnancy is stupid now that we know how pregnancy happens and have birth control and the "plan B" pill that can be taken after the act has happened.

I would be happy to see all forms of birth control be free to any woman or girl in the US (including minors without parental consent or knowledge). The idea of waiting until the child begins to develop before terminating the pregnancy in 2019 is ludicrous.

I can understand there are times when abortion is the solution, but casually killing the unborn for the convenience of the mother is a hard sell with me.

P.S. I'm not interested in watching the movie.

This thread is fascinating to me because we as a forum really have a diverse view on this topic. Many other topics the forum is just an echo chamber.

It’s a tricky one. I even fall on different lines here. Recently in a debate with my batshit crazy lib step mother I did some research.

Interestingly like 90% of abortions are quite early on, like 100 a year are third term. Morally I’d put first trimester chemical abortion on the lines of shop lifting.

I’m against abortion in second trimester not for medical reasons. Real ones do exist in my mind.

I’m all out against third trimester abortions. My research showed no doctor can state a medical reason for third trimester abortion, there just are not any. Either the issue is seen second trimester, or the baby can be delivered early.

My wife and I did not ‘plan’ our first child or the second she pregnant with now. But you know what we knew what we were doing. We knew our birth control methods were marginal. We never considered her taking an abortion pill. The idea was disgusting to us. It was our responsibility. After this child we’ll practivce real birth control. I think the wife will get her tubes tied. This is a little unfair as we are married and love our son and are so excited about our next child. Moral of the story is emasculate conception is for fiction books. There is no mystery how you get pregnant.


But.... quite honestly I don’t want all people to follow in my foot steps. There are lots of people who get pregnant accidentally or just because they are sloppy and I don’t want them to keep it. Why? Because those kids will ultimately lower the living standards of my children.

The statistics speak for them selves. We, forum members here and people like us are not having abortions.

When I read in NYC ghettos there are 1100 abortions for every 1000 live births I think to myself ‘omg imagine the ghettos with a more than double reproduction rate than now’ imagine the crime, imagine the cost. F that, I pay taxes. No thank you.

I firmly believe all life is not equal. How can you say the drug dealer who killed a kid in drive by is of the same value Thomas Edison, as my child’s pediatrician? As any one who adds to society.

In this world we have makers and takers. As a maker I don’t want to support takers. As a maker I don’t want the world over run by takers.

Good people don’t kill thier babies, bad people do. Let the bad people kill themselves. I’m not trying to fill the world with them.

And lastly I don’t know if anyone has looked at world population numbers recently, but’s it’s not sustainable. Humans are a parasite killing our host by over consumption of resources. If we are a smart breed, we’ll need to decide to keep our own numbers in check. Only people who really want kids having kids is a great start.

While I guess I see the point you are making it is a little disturbing. We should decide abortions based on economic status? If we decided to abort every baby in history that the mother/family didn't have the "means" to raise at the time of pregnancy I have a feeling a lot of great people in history would never have existed.



We should all be working to reduce the number of abortions no matter if you agree with the right to choice or are pro life. They should be rare considering how easy it is to avoid pregnancy. There is also plan B. If nothing else abortions after a certain point should never be needed.

But there is no right to murder. If and when abortion is ever redefined as murder then it's not a Constitutional issue.

The fact that the person who posted the comments you didn't like never aimed them at a specific person I can say that I think you can chalk it up to rhetoric. I think you're overreacting.

Whoa. Everyone is still cool here. You are really the one going off the handle. Some have posted for religious reasons, some not, some are a bit if a hybrid. Nobody is really attacking anyone personally. This is the second time I have seen you "stomp out" of a thread like this, and both times they involved religion. I get it, you don't like it or believe in it. That's your prerogative.

ON aside note, my take is it goes deeper than that because if you actually 100% didn't believe in God, someone posting about "standing before God and sucking when they do" shouldn't bother you one iota, because to you, it is garbage...but in reality, obviously it really does bother you. I am wondering if there is self doubt on your stance and the possibility of being wrong eats at you. I'm not sure, but it doesn't make logical sense to get mad at something someone says is going to happen that you think is a complete lie.

"We" are not deciding who should have an abortion or not. "We" are not forcing people to have abortions because of their economic stature. No one is being forced to have abortions.

'They' are choosing to have an abortion. 'We' are not stopping them. There is a huge difference to me there.

My question is when a person has identified they either have no interest in raising a child, why would we force them have those kids they have basically already admitted they will neglect? What are we gaining as a society by forcing these people into our world?

This does not ultimately have to do with economic factors. Its about just not giving a shit about your kids or potential kids.

Poor people get pregnant by mistake all the time. Those who do not believe in abortion carry those children to term and make it work. Its all about those parents attitude. That child has a good chance of being something because their parents care and have amoral compass. Their parents are going to make an effort. They are going to do what it takes.

So really its about caring. Again I don't want people having kids that will not care about them, because those people are not going to raise good kids. They have already established they don't give a shit. F-that. Those unabortated kids will never have a chance because their parents are trash and will raise them to be trash too.

We’re not killing anyone. They are doing it them selves, or to your own unborn child.

Maybe the sick should be allowed to commit suicide. I don’t have a problem there. It is illegal, which is unfortunate.

In some cultures, eskimos being one, suicide of the elderly was very respected. When the elderly were to sick and weak they would walk off into the abyss of the great north and perish, for the good of their tribe. They had spent their time and done their part. I respect that.

You can have less mentally handicapped through abortion. Almost no one in Iceland has Down’s syndrome. Guess how that came to be.

As a member of a group that often espouses 'inalienable rights' you seemingly forgot this: We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness—

It amuses me to see folks, many with no children, and many who are unmarried, argue about such things.

This thread is fascinating to me because we as a forum really have a diverse view on this topic. Many other topics the forum is just an echo chamber.

It’s a tricky one. I even fall on different lines here. Recently in a debate with my batshit crazy lib step mother I did some research.

Interestingly like 90% of abortions are quite early on, like 100 a year are third term. Morally I’d put first trimester chemical abortion on the lines of shop lifting.

I’m against abortion in second trimester not for medical reasons. Real ones do exist in my mind.

I’m all out against third trimester abortions. My research showed no doctor can state a medical reason for third trimester abortion, there just are not any. Either the issue is seen second trimester, or the baby can be delivered early.

My wife and I did not ‘plan’ our first child or the second she pregnant with now. But you know what we knew what we were doing. We knew our birth control methods were marginal. We never considered her taking an abortion pill. The idea was disgusting to us. It was our responsibility. After this child we’ll practivce real birth control. I think the wife will get her tubes tied. This is a little unfair as we are married and love our son and are so excited about our next child.

Moral of the story is emasculate conception is for fiction books. There is no mystery how you get pregnant.

Immaculate - your spell check screwed up. I would also appreciate that you not make off hand denigrating references to the Bible. 'Immaculate conception is for the Bible' would have worked.

I think the wife will get her tubes tied. Why? Vasectomy is less invasive, and cheaper. Plus, you can sit up and watch if you are tough enough.

Read the crap you posted here and in later posts, reflect upon it and then see if you can draw parallels to world history (trying hard not to use the Nazi word :) )

Probably need a little thread drift out of the realm of supercilious self-righteousness, so I’ll say that, having done about a thousand of each, tubal wins hand-down over vasectomy from a standpoint of pain, complications, and return to work. The only reason to get a vasectomy is if your wife doesn’t want the tubal. Most do.

Just from personal experience the vasectomy was not nearly as painless and easy as they made it out to be so my sample of one will concur.

And we criticize politicians for never accomplishing anything. I believe this thread has run it's course.
