‘Roe v. Wade’ film shows playbook of cultural, legal change
It’s difficult to watch “Roe v. Wade” and not think of the other recent abortion movie, “Unplanned.” That 2019 movie told the true story of former Planned Parenthood facility director-turned-pro-life-advocate Abby Johnson and was an emotional and stirring gut punch.

However, it could jolt someone out of a comfortable and casual abortion-is-bad attitude to a pro-life warrior who takes active … [Read more...]
