If you haven’t seen Unplanned, it is your obligation as a human to see it – particularly if you say you are Pro-life. Here’s why: there are important lessons that we need to incorporate into our own lives.

First of all, if you are on the fence about abortion, see the movie. Whenever I encounter someone who says, “Abortion isn’t for me, but I don’t have the right to tell a woman she can’t.”, I tell that person two things: “Go see an abortion and then make up your mind.” And second, “You have the obligation to give voice to a child who can’t.” Speaking on behalf of children has been my life’s work.

Here’s what we all must take away from Unplanned.

First, if you want to change someone’s mind about anything, don’t beat them over the head. Befriend that person. Who was the first person that Abby went to after she had her epiphany? The woman from Coalition for Life. This woman stood with Abby day after day, month after month. Abby knew exactly how this woman felt about her involvement with abortion but rather than repeatedly implore her to stop, the woman showed up and cared for her.
