WASHINGTON, April 18, 2019 /Christian Newswire/
-- The film is scheduled to be presented on the evening of Good
Friday, April 19, at 7:00 p.m. on the public sidewalk right in front of
the Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Washington, D.C. located at
1225 4th St. NE.
"Unplanned" is based on Abby Johnson's national
bestseller which follows her personal journey from being Planned
Parenthood's youngest clinic director to embracing a
pro-life/pro-women's position while renouncing the work of Planned
Parenthood relating to abortion.
The film has generated strong
emotions across America and ignited a national conversation on the role
of Planned Parenthood and abortion.
"Unplanned" has also faced
unprecedented censorship and discrimination from avenues such as
Google and Twitter along with having their ads rejected by networks
like Hallmark, Bravo, The Food Network, Lifetime and many others.
Rev. Patrick Mahoney, the Director of the Christian Defense Coalition, who is sponsoring this special viewing, states;
"I want to first thank the City and Police
Department of Washington, D.C. for honoring the First Amendment and
free expression in granting the permit to publicly show the film
'Unplanned' right in front of a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic.
This comes after 'Unplanned' has been censored and discriminated
against by social media giants, television networks and other outlets.
"It
is critical for Americans to know that free speech and public
expression are honored and protected in our nation's capital with all
viewpoints being allowed.
"'Unplanned' is a powerful film sharing
the personal story of Abby Johnson and revealing the true mission and
operation of Planned Parenthood as well as exposing the reality of
abortion. Showing 'Unplanned' on Good Friday, in front of a Planned
Parenthood abortion clinic, is a powerful witness to the dignity of
every life and the example we all must follow to protect human rights
and end violence in our society.
"Our hope is to launch a
nationwide campaign to eventually show 'Unplanned' in front of Planned
Parenthood abortion clinics across America."
SPECIAL UPDATE: Due to the potential for serious rain and
thunderstorms this Friday, the showing of "Unplanned" might have to be
rescheduled. Go to this link for current information: https://www.facebook.com/events/422127605252467/
