"This is something we desperately need to talk about," Ashley Bratcher said in a March 25 interview with The Daily Signal. "I heard one of the Georgia House of representatives say last week that abortion is so outside the scope of polite conversation that we can’t even bear to look at it. We can’t even come face to face with the ripping apart of a human being.
"He’s right. We have to face this as a society, we have to talk about it. We have to acknowledge it. Because if we don’t, we’re turning a blind eye and nothing is happening to move this forward and progress."
Bratcher portrays Abby Johnson in "Unplanned". Johnson was a Planned Parenthood clinic director who said she left then nation’s largest abortion provider in 2009 after watching an abortion on ultrasound.
"Unplanned" is set for release in U.S. theaters on March 29.
