Twitter Continually Prevents Actress Patricia Heaton et al From Following 'Unplanned - The Movie' During Opening Weekend

Unplanned tells the true-life story of Abby Johnson, a Planned Parenthood director, who becomes a pro-life activist after witnessing a fetus struggling for life during an abortion at thirteen weeks gestation.




Heaton voiced the frustration of numerous Twitter users who were bumped from 'Unplanned':


Ryan Saavedra at the Daily Wire reports, "The continued problems with the movie's Twitter account come after it was mysteriously banned on Saturday and was only reinstated later in the day after widespread outrage. Twitter did not provide details on why the account was suspended."

Odd how these suspensions and banishments are only one-way streets.

Saavedra continues, "Late on Sunday, thousands of people noted that every time they tried to follow the movie's account that their Twitter accounts automatically unfollowed the account moments later."

In addition to this harassment by Twitter, 'Unplanned - The Movie' commercials are rejected by Lifetime, Hallmark Channel, HGTV and several other cable networks.

"We were looking to spend money, but they didn't want to get involved," John Sullivan, a producer for Unplanned, told THR. Fox News and the Christian Broadcast Network accepted ads."

Yet, despite all this implicit bias by these corporations for killing the unborn, 'Unplanned' is a Breakout Box Office Hit that "has taken in an estimated $6,110,000 this weekend, expected to become the #5 movie at the box office."

"Unplanned has also dominated in audience reviews, scoring a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes and earning an A+ rating from CinemaScore."

To murder the unborn is evil. Attempts to silence those who call out this evil is wrong. The tragic lesson is plain, and I will borrow from Acton: Power over social media tends to corrupt, but absolute power over social media corrupts absolutely.

“It is a sad time we live in when corporations can remove individuals freedom of speech at will. When did we empower these corporations to have such authority? More importantly, why do we empower them to do so?” Cary Solomon, co-writer and co-director of the film, said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter.

To quote Reynolds, "The 21st century is not turning out as I had hoped."
