Abby Johnson - Keynote address "The Other Side of the Fence" - Audio CD w/ Free Lila Rose CD

Abby worked and volunteered for Planned Parenthood for eight years. In September 2009, she saw something that forever changed her mind on the issue of abortion. Abby was asked to assist in an ultrasound guided abortion procedure. On the ultrasound screen she saw a 13 week baby in the womb fight for its life, only to lose the battle in the end.

Not knowing where to go, Abby turned to a local pro-life resource group, The Brazos Valley Coalition for Life. She explained the events that she had witnessed and swore that she would begin to advocate for life in the womb, instead of destroying it. On October 6, 2009 she resigned from the largest abortion corporation in the nation, Planned Parenthood.

Even though she had not intended on being a public figure, God had different plans. For the last year of her employment, Christ had been working on her heart. Although she didn't understand why, Abby had begun to question her work and the motivations of the company she had dedicated herself to for eight years.

When Planned Parenthood found out about Abby's change of heart, they were frightened that others would hear her story and then change their minds about abortion. Their defense was to silence her with a temporary gag order and eventually take her to court. Planned Parenthood thus inadvertently turned Abby's resignation into national news.
