Now it's celebrating another victory. It surpassed Planned Parenthood in followers on Twitter, moving past the 300,000 marker. "Today we passed #plannedparenthod in followers. The tide has shifted as the world is exposed to the reality of what happens behind the curtain in #unplannedmovie," the makers said on social media.
Pro-abortion activists were quick to point out that Planned Parenthood's empire includes other groups with other significant followings. But the movie-follower total does not include the many pro-life organizations that support the film.
A blogger for the Twitter news-aggregator Twitchy wrote, "No matter how many times the Left, the media, Twitter, and even Hollywood tried to bury and shut down the 'Unplanned" movie, they come back stronger than ever.
"As long as my God holds the world in his hand, there's no such thing as 'Unplanned,'" he wrote. Fox News reported Johnson, the former Planned Parenthood manager, now has a ministry called And Then There Were None that helps abortion workers get new jobs.
She pointed out Twitter prevented her from following the movie.
"The most eye-opening moment in the film is when we watch as Abby participates in an ultrasound-guided abortion, which she had never seen before. The film starts with most of this scene, flashes back several years, then builds to it again. We hear the baby's heartbeat, see the baby trying to move away from doctor's forceps, and hear the sound of the suction tube, filling with blood. It's ghoulish and uncomfortable," Russell wrote.
On Friday, talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh pointed out the boycott by most networks of the movie's ad campaign and urged people to see it.
