Last night pro-life spokeswoman and former abortion worker Abby Johnson addressed the Republican National Convention, sharing part of her story of her journey from directing a Planned Parenthood facility to advocating for the unborn, explaining how, for her, the fight against abortion is not abstract but deeply personal. “See, for me, abortion is real,” she told the convention. “I know what it sounds like. I know what abortion smells like. Did you know that abortion even had a smell? I’ve been the perpetrator to these babies. To these women.
“I truly believed I was helping women,” she said of her time at Planned Parenthood. Shortly after she was recognized as Planned Parenthood Employee of the Year, Abby Johnson was assigned an abortion quota and was instructed to make sure that her facility sold twice as many abortions as they had the previous year. When she questioned this, pointing to the abortion giant’s public goal of making abortion less common, she told, “This is how we make our money.” She left the abortion industry a few months later after witnessing an ultrasound abortion. Her ministry, And Then There Were None (ATTWN) has helped nearly 600 abortion workers leave the abortion industry.
Abby Johnson’s powerful story of going from abortion perpetrator to defender of the unborn has helped change people’s minds by revealing what the abortion industry truly is—an industry that kills babies for profit. Following her RNC speech, Johnson received a reply on Twitter from a woman who said,
I was pro choice my whole life, I have had an abortion. I couldn’t understand Pro life, and it never made sense until hearing your speech tonight. I felt the passion behind pro life activists. You have changed my heart and changed my mind. Thank you.
