A biography for Abby Johnsonhasn’t been written yet.
“After working in a prominent position at a Planned Parenthood facility in Central Texas for over eight years, I can say that women deserve better than Planned Parenthood and that their funding should be reallocated to Federally Qualified Health Centers.”
“If you want to truly stand up for women's reproductive rights, then stand against birth control. Because nothing says anti-woman more than birth control.”
“I had developed a relationship with one of the anti-abortion sidewalk counselors who stood in front of my facility. We talked regularly through the fence and she had asked me to go have coffee with her one day. I was impressed with her persistence and, honestly, I thought I would really like her if I got to know her.”
“I joined Planned Parenthood because I wanted to help poor women with real health care needs.”
“I got married to Doug in 2005. I knew that we wanted to delay having children for a while, and I had tried pretty much every hormonal birth control method under the sun.”
“I didn't grow up believing that abortion was a good choice for women, but since it was legal, I thought it must be okay.”
“While I am a pro-life woman, I am also a woman who is concerned about rights for the disabled, maternity leave, the death penalty, health care, domestic violence, breastfeeding rights, etc.”
“Bottom line: Contraception does not reduce abortion.”
“Pro-life feminists believe in women and their ability. Pro-choice feminists only see women as weak and something to be exploited.”
“Equal rights for women. I agree with that concept. But we will never be free, we will never obtain equality, until we stop letting ourselves become pawns of the abortion industry. Our freedom depends on our rejection of abortion.”
“I want women to understand that the most beautiful thing a woman's body does is to grow other human beings.”
“I am definitely not the best wife, and no one has nominated me for 'Mother of the Year.'”
“Being reminded of your past doesn't mean that you have to live with constant grief. It simply means that you have been given the opportunity to transform your past into something positive.”
“If the church doesn't minister to sinners, then who will?”
“'And Then There Were None' is a network of former abortion clinic workers who are stepping forward to tell our stories about what really happens behind the closed doors of Planned Parenthood and abortion facilities across America. We are stepping forward because our voices deserve to be heard, and America deserves to know the truth.”
“I worked at Planned Parenthood for eight years, rising through the ranks from volunteer escort to clinic counselor to clinic director.”
“Never underestimate the power of anyone's story... anyone's life.”
“Planned Parenthood is a tough place to work - the hours are long, the work is emotionally draining, the paperwork is endless, and the morale can run low.”
“I am part of a movement that loves women into conversation and conversion. I am part of the pro-woman movement.”
“Being pro-choice was not just a movement to me; it was a lifestyle. I wholeheartedly embraced that lifestyle and loved being a part of it.”
