“‘Unplanned’ is an ‘R’ rated film which has no MPAA cautions for profanity, nudity, sex or violence… except for violence directly associated with the abortion process,” the filmmakers told Movieguide. “Ironically, the MPAA seems to be indirectly endorsing the pro-life position: namely that abortion is an act of violence.”
They added that “even more ironically, as a result of the MPAA’s decision to give us a ‘Restricted’ rating, many teenage women in this country who can legally obtain an actual abortion without parental permission will be prohibited from going to see our film containing simulated images of abortion, without obtaining parental permission.”
‘Unplanned’ Directors Explain Great Irony of Film’s R-Rating
Again not engaging in the politics of abortion itself, but you cannot deny the stupidity.
“Yes my dear Sweet Sixteen, you can behave like a 40-year-old prostitute in Rotterdam on a payday Friday night. And if you happen to get pregnant , we will make sure that you can access strange people who will shove surgical instrumentation up your uterus. But this movie? Nah, you are too young and not ready for it.”
Common Sense is dead.
