Deceptive? Dangerous? The filmmakers behind 12th & Delaware would have you think that pregnancy help centers are both. NARAL/Pro-choice America has not only endorsed the film, but championed it to its constituents as an “amazing new documentary.” Sadly they don’t reveal the whole story of the making of the film, the back story, the agenda of the filmmakers or the real truth about the work of pregnancy centers.
Ms. Anne Lotierzo, the Executive Director of Pregnancy Care Center and main feature of the film, commented,
"Pregnancy Care Center entered into this project in order to highlight the efforts of this ministry not only in our own center, but across the country . . . An honest portrayal of our ministry would have included our careful follow-up support and outreach to our clients who appear in the film. That, unfortunately, was left out."
Heartbeat has put together a number of resources (below) to help you have a better understanding of the bigger picture. We encourage you to see the movie, start the discussions, and read behind-the-scenes information 12th & Delaware left out, as well as the back story about scenes left in. In addition, you'll want to watch the extensive YouTube responses from Pregnancy Care Center, Ft. Pierce, FL., the center featured in the film.
