Christian Radio Station K-LOVE Bans Pro-Life “Unplanned” Ads, Sparks Listener Outrage

Johnson called K-LOVE’s justification “total bull,” as the station promoted the R-rated “Passion of the Christ.”

“I happen to know that you promoted The Passion for Christ which is rated R so I think that your reasoning is more about being soft on unashamedly opposing abortion,” added Facebook commenter Chrystal Lewis. “Nobody likes a hypocrite.”

Just a day after Johnson’s first post on the matter, she shared a “wonderful update” that K-LOVE had a change of heart.

“After meeting again today with one of the Unplanned producers, K-LOVE Radio has decided to stand up for the unborn and promote Unplanned!!” shared Johnson. “We knew they were pro-life, so their decision only confirms that they do indeed have a heart for the unborn. We are thrilled! Thank you to everyone who sent emails encouraging them to promote the film. Your voices were heard. We are strong together and I’m honored to have K-LOVE on the team!”

However, it seems the radio station has failed to live up to their promises.

In response to a tweet by Faithwire’s Tre Goins-Phillips, Johnson reported on Friday that K-LOVE is still not airing the ads.

“This kind of flew under the radar, but K-LOVE refused to air ads for @UnplannedMovie until @AbbyJohnson pressed the radio network,” wrote Phillips, to which Johnson responded: “And they still aren’t.”
