(FOX NEWS) -- A New York City off-Broadway theater pulled the plug on a pro-life play detailing the trial of convicted murderer and abortionist Kermit Gosnell that was slated to run simultaneously with an abortion comedy produced in part by Hollywood filmmaker JJ Abrams' theatrical company. The playwright behind the pro-life production, Phelim McAleer, said the cancellation is censorship and "robs" people from hearing both sides of the issues surrounding abortion.
"I do want people to go and see both [plays] and to come to their own conclusions, which is something that Theatre Row wants to rob the people of – this ability to hear all the facts. What are they scared of?" McAleer told Fox News Digital in a phone interview Tuesday morning.
The play "Oh Gosnell: The Truth About Abortion" is described as a "verbatim play about the horrors of abortion," and was slated to launch at Theatre Row in New York City on the same night as "Oh God, A Show About Abortion." The "Oh God" play is presented by comedian Ilana Glazer, best known for her role in the Comedy Central show "Broad City," and produced in part by Bad Robot Live, the theatrical arm of JJ Abrams’ production company Bad Robot.
