Abby Johnson is an American anti-abortion activist and former Planned Parenthood clinic director. She resigned in October 2009 and later became known for speaking publicly about her change in position. Johnson has described her resignation as the result of watching an abortion on ultrasound. Her account, and the details of her conversion, have been challenged by investigative reporters, with medical records said to conflict with some of her claims.
