A new documentary by pro-life activist Abby Johnson promises a graphic exposé of the abortion industry, featuring harrowing testimonials from former clinic workers who describe financial quotas and “dehumanizing” medical practices, according to a report by Fox News and promotional footage from the film.
The film, titled “Unthinkable,” is slated for a June release and centers on the stories of approximately three dozen former employees who describe the “practices, pressure, and pain” they experienced before leaving the industry. Johnson, a former Planned Parenthood clinic director who now leads the nonprofit And Then There Were None, said the 90-minute project is intended to “shake the foundation” of the national abortion debate.
In a teaser trailer for the documentary, former workers allege that women were “lied to and exploited” due to their vulnerable situations and treated like “cattle” within facilities. One former staffer claimed her job involved editing magazines in the waiting room to remove any images that might trigger a “maternal instinct” in patients.
The footage also highlights claims of financial incentives tied to abortion volume. One worker recalled receiving an extra check for $1,500 after the clinic met its quarterly “numbers.”
The documentary includes graphic descriptions of the procedures themselves, which Johnson argues demonstrate why the practice should be ended rather than merely regulated. In the trailer, a former worker recounts an ultrasound-guided abortion where the fetus’ mouth appeared to open and close “as if it was screaming.”
Other participants describe the grim reality of late-term procedures, including the necessity of counting “body parts” and witnessing remains being “dumped into buckets.”
Despite the disturbing nature of the testimony, Johnson emphasized that the film’s ultimate goal is to highlight the possibility of redemption for those who have worked in the industry. Since 2012, her organization has provided legal aid, counseling, and financial assistance to help clinic workers transition into new careers.
“Abortion has to end,” Johnson told Fox News Digital, adding that the film serves as a “truthful” reminder of the “cost of abortion” from the perspective of those who “know it best.”
The film’s release comes as pro-life groups continue to pressure the U.S. government to implement further restrictions on abortion access, specifically regarding the distribution of abortion pills.
