‘Unplanned’ film inspires pro-life candlelight vigils in 38 states

Thousands of activists attended pro-life prayer vigils outside Planned Parenthood clinics in 38 states April 13, inspired by the movie “Unplanned,” vigil organizers said.

“‘Unplanned’ has become a call to action for the pro-life movement,” Mark Harrington, executive director of Created Equal and event co-director, said. “Thousands have been inspired by this movie to get actively involved in the pro-life movement for the first time.”

Abby Johnson, author of the book on which the movie is based, applauds the activism occurring just two weeks after the film’s March 29 release.

“God is moving in people’s heart after they see the film,” Johnson said.

“Unplanned” brought in $12.9 million through April 8 on as many as 1,516 screens, according to Box Office Mojo. The film is still in theaters. (BP)
