View clip: Scandalized Planned Parenthood abortion doc was typecast in movie, “Blue Valentine”

On May 29, two former Planned Parenthood of Delaware nurses testified before a bipartisan hearing of state legislators regarding unsafe practices they witnessed at two PPDE abortion clinics as well as by PPDE abortionist Timothy Liveright, who I previously wrote “ogled, slapped, [and] played peek-a-boo with patients.”
On May 30, Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden filed a formal complaint before the Delaware Board of Medical Licensure and Discipline against Liveright, 68, stating he “presents a clear and immediate danger to the public.” I’ll say. Liveright has admitted to murdering 50,000 preborn children, aside from harming and exploiting women.
In all the news about Liveright I read something that piqued my curiosity: “He even played an abortion doctor in a 2010 movie starring Hollywood heavyweights Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams… Blue Valentine,” wrote USA Today.
Indeed, quoting from a 2011 Huffington Post interview with Williams:
Q: Then there’s the abortion scene. It’s quite visceral. It was actually shot in a location with people from the clinic itself — did that help the process of shooting that?
MW: It’s true, yeah. It was helpful, but a lot of this movie cuts really close to the bone because of the way that we were encouraged and allowed to work. That doctor was a real abortion provider. The nurse was a real nurse.
Film credits list Timothy Liveright as the doctor and Felicia Reid as the nurse.
In a 2010 Cannes Film Festival Q&A, Blue Valentine director Derek Cianfrance stated, “[W]e filmed the abortion scenes in a real Planned Parenthood clinic, using real personnel.”
Digressing on this point a bit, the film was shot on 14 locations in New York and Pennsylvania, one of which was Scranton. A Felicia Reid at one point worked at the Scranton, PA, Planned Parenthood, located at 316 Penn Avenue, although the receptionist at that location knew of no one by that name when I called there today. Liveright was also listed as working at a PP in the Scranton area at one point. A Scrantonian wrote he recognized the Penn Avenue PP location in the film. So there’s that. PP stars in a depressing, dark drama – more typecasting.
At any rate, here’s the abortion scene, featuring Liveright, from Blue Valentine. Thanks to Andy Moore of AbortionWiki.com for uploading it to YouTube for me.

From what we now know about Liveright, this entire scene was indeed acting on the tallest order. His manner with Williams was far different than his manner toward real patients. And the way he totally backed away from the abortion after a whispered “stop” from Williams, as if she were holding Kryptonite, was also disingenuous. I wonder how she feels today, knowing she was thisclose to such a menace, with so much blood on his hands.

Since there are no other recent photos of Liveright, here is another screen shot from the movie. Click to enlarge…
My advice to abortionists is to stop accepting movie roles. Their real lives seem to deteriorate into nightmares afterwards, even if it takes a few decades.
Also missing from the scene to make it more realistic: Ryan Gosling asking for the money back and Planned Parenthood saying NO.

@Jill Stanek: From your POV, you should be urging them to accept as many movie roles as possible!

Wow. If I had been Michelle Williams, I think I would have been far too creeped out to do that scene. I get the chills just thinking about it.

Thank you Andy Moore.
That would be the second time Gosling has take a woman to a “choice,” clinic in a movie. Weird coincidence, and the second potential abortion victim Williams has played. the first was marily Monroe who had 9 abortions.

“Liveright has admitted to murdering 50,000 preborn children” – if he has admitted to ‘murder’ then I hope he has been charged. Do you think he’ll be convicted?
“aside from harming and exploiting women.” – and he’s admitted to this too? Or is that just your add-on?
