I was going to title this episode The Two Abbys, but that would have led to misunderstandings. It’s a two-hander featuring actress Ashley Bratcher and the woman she plays in the movie Unplanned, former Planned Parenthood Director Abby Johnson.

Unplanned came out after Gosnell and before Roe v Wade, the trio of strongly pro-life films of 2018 and 2019. Both the real life heroine Abby and the actress who brings her story to the screen thanks to co-writers Cary Solomon and Chuck Konzelman.  An amazing story, now in cinematic garb.

 

In this episode you will learn

• How the book came about to begin with
• Why Hollywood’s MPAA gave it a Rated R rating and why this may help the movie’s box office
• The secret that the mother of actress Ashley Bratcher’s confessed to her after she got the role and had begin filming
• Why this is the kind of movie that changes the game regarding the reality of abortion
• Anecdotes galore from the set
