Scene from “Pardon Me: The Bevelyn B. Williams Story” (Owlam Studios)
Pro-abortion forces are trying to muzzle an upcoming new movie about courageous pro-life black women—including activist Bevelyn B. Williams, who was arrested for protesting at an abortion clinic. Williams was later pardoned by President Donald Trump after being prosecuted and imprisoned with an excessive sentence by former President Biden’s administration.
There’s nothing more terrifying to white progressives than independent, freethinking, pro-life black women. Especially black women exposing Margaret Sanger, the racist, eugenicist cofounder of Planned Parenthood, who thought black people were unfit to “breed.”
The movie tells an epic tale: a Republican president liberates a black woman imprisoned by a Democrat president while she fights to combat Sanger’s poisonous legacy.
The movie also stars TV host Silk—of the late famous sister-duo Diamond and Silk—who is raising alarms about theaters blocking “Pardon Me: The Bevelyn B. Williams Story,” out Aug 15. Today, the film has no theaters willing to let it run, Williams said in a video posted on X. Even theaters that initially agreed to show the film have now dropped away. The ”Pardon Me” team has shifted gears toward turning churches—including ones that might want to rent out their local movie theater—into venues to host the movie.
“Every single one has backed out,” Williams continued. ’Pardon Me’ destroys a narrative when it comes to the African American community and abortion … and it also exposes the narrative of these young women who grow up in broken homes and end up at the abortion clinic.”
Williams is spot on. Women who get abortions in the United States are disproportionately poor and non-white. And they disproportionately are raised in homes where their mothers were also poor, unmarried, and non-white.
Rather than empowering women to break generational curses for themselves and their children, abortion enables the perpetuation of generational pain on the unborn and their mothers. Sanger would be proud to know that her vision was realized: Abortion in America disproportionately takes the lives of the poor, black babies she found so distasteful. As a pro-life billboard campaign in New York City noted: “The most dangerous place for an African American is in the womb.”
Williams and her colleagues are taking a stand for generational blessings for moms, dads, and their babies. Their courage is inspiring. And if the tables were turned—a film about black women seeking to expand abortion access—we all know how the leftist Hollywood and media establishment would be touting this film on endless red carpets.
Williams said the movie has no cursing, no violence, and no nudity. “But what it has is truth,”—and that’s horrifying to pro-abortion fear-mongers who try to claim women are too weak to break cycles of generational curses and attract healthy, compassionate men who will be loving fathers to their children.
Supporting life is a nonpartisan issue. Nellie Gray, the founder of the March for Life, was a Democrat, as were many other leaders of the early U.S. right-to-life movement.
Along with a streaming option, film fans can watch the release of the movie starting August 15th. Supporters who would like to rent the theaters and invite people from their church or community can send a request to gain access to the movie: [email protected]
Pro-abortion forces may try to silence the tale of “Pardon Me,” but as the fiery abolitionist Sojourner Truth said: “Truth is powerful and prevails.”

I stream PURFLIX and REDEEM. Could not the promoters of the film have either one, or both, include “Pardon Me” in their line up?
Interesting article. Especially since I am still humming the theme to a superhero movie which extolls family and the protection of infants.
I will watch for “Pardon Me”.
I doubt there are any statistics on this but I am curious to know how many abortions are the result of the sins of fornication and adultery.
I would leave Margaret Sanger in her grave undisturbed, yes she was a vile woman, but today’s situation lies at someone else doorstep, that is why no one will touch it with the 10 foot pole. Not the “law makers” not the press. Film is fine and dandy, but is it accurate, does it deal with the fact it’s 2025, by the way, what was the rate of abortion in 1925 is that on the record? Is the personal responsibility mentioned, it is very emotional issue but where is the rational side of it.
