Spurch goes on to say … “Planned Parenthood respects artistic license and freedom.

She finishes with this … “It is a shame that the creators of Blonde chose to contribute to anti-abortion propaganda and stigmatize people’s health care decisions instead.”
For those that have not seen it but — Ana, enjoying Marilyn, is proven as being preggo three completely different instances … and two of these finish in nightmare-like, horrific pressured abortions in opposition to her will and the third ends in a miscarriage. MM is proven as desirous to be a mom all through the movie, however forces exterior her management strong-arm her into shedding the infants.
Waiting on your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Dominik, for his half, has defended his depictions of the infant stuff … saying the sentiments surrounding this are solely heightened due to Roe v Wade, including … “no one would have given a s*** about that if I’d made the movie in 2008, and probably no one’s going to care about it in four years’ time. And the movie won’t have changed.”
The film has garnered numerous controversy for a wide range of causes. But on this explicit subject … we should always be aware, the entire thing is fiction — together with how Marilyn’s pregnancies got here to finish, or how she might or might not have felt about any them. She is alleged to have miscarried in actual life no less than thrice throughout her marriage to playwright Arthur Miller.
Take that for what it’s, we suppose.
