"Trying to figure out why the @UnplannedMovie account has been suspended. We need answers," said "Unplanned" actress Ashley Bratcher.

"Unplanned" is the true story of a manager of a Planned Parenthood clinic who turned into an pro-life activist during her work at the abortion clinic.
Nearly an hour after Bratcher Tweeted about the suspension, sparking fierce backlash from Twitter users, the movie's official account announced that it was back online.
"Thank you everyone for your support in letting @Jack & @Twitter know when our Unplanned Movie account was recently suspended without cause. We are back and excited for the great response we're getting in theaters this weekend," it said.

Twitter is known for its censorship of conservative thought, and those who promulgate conservative viewpoints.
Right wing personalities Gavin McInnes, Laura Loomer, Roger Stone, and many others have been banned from the platform completely. Last week, Big League Politics reported that Twitter was looking into censoring President Donald J. Trump.
A major technology platform known for its censorship of conservatives is now considering ways to censor President Donald J. Trump, according to one of its executives.
"One of the things we're working really closely on with our product and engineering folks is, 'How can we label that?'" said Vijaya Gadde, Twitter's global lead for legal, policy, trust, and safety.
She was responding to a question about whether Trump is immune from Twitter's fascistic censorship rules, which mostly lead to right-wingers being de-platformed for Terms of Service violations. Gadde was conducting an on-stage interview with Amazon-owned blog TheWashington Post, which recently spiked allegations of sexual assault against the Democrat Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, Justin Fairfax.
"How can we put some context around it so people are aware that that content is actually a violation of our rules and it is serving a particular purpose in remaining on the platform," Gadde said.
Despite the evidence to the contrary, Twitter still claims that it unbiased towards conservatives.

Powerful Homily: Catholic Priest Rebukes Members of the Church Who Ignored Religious Freedom, Voted for Joe Biden
This priest isn't cowing before the pro-abortion Left.
Richard Moorhead
Father Jeffrey Kirby of the Diocese of Charleston delivered a powerful homily rebuking members of the Church who voted for Joe Biden last week.
Father Kirby began his homily telling the account of St. Thomas Becket, a 12th century English bishop who was murdered in his cathedral for upholding the rights of the Church in defiance of governmental mandates. Kirby compared Becket's opponents to Catholics who supported Biden, who is likely to continue in the vein of governmental impositions and infringements on religious liberty seen from President Obama's administration.
Watch Father Kirby's full homily here.
"Some of you, I know, voted for someone who is now going to suffer and persecute the Church for the next four years…
That on top of the fact that he supports the slaughter of the unborn!
What have you done! What have you done to your Church! Look, and watch, as our religious sisters are dragged through the courts! As contraception is imposed upon them! Watch as our hospitals disappear. Because we will not follow government dictates."
Biden, who styles himself as a Catholic despite support for unlimited abortion and homosexualism, benefited from the support of more religious Catholics and Evangelical Christians than previous Democrat candidates for President. Father Kirby made sure that those who thought allusions to "tone" and decorum were more important than fundamental Catholic moral teachings on life understood the errors of their ways.
"And those of you who voted for such an administration… bear responsibility, for what you have done. Because we are in for it, folks. And they are already getting ready for it."
Some high-ranking bishops of the American Catholic Church even went so far as to appear to outright endorse Joe Biden, a development unprecedented for a presidential candidate promising full support for an unlimited abortion agenda.
"Never forget, that the spiritual mystics tell us, that the pavements of hell are paved with the skulls of bishops. I preach the truth. So those of you who are entrusted to my care- you know what we believe as Catholics. You know what the true religion calls for. And I want to make sure that I speak it-even if every one of you denies it."
