This story has it all: money, murder and repentance.
Planned Parenthood is seeking a restraining order against The Coalition for Life because they engage in peaceful prayer and fasting which is hitting the abortion money machine in the purse.
Planned Parenthood is also seeking a restraining order against Abby Johnson because she had “a spiritual conversion” and resigned as the director of a Planned Parenthood abortion center.
[Abby Johnson] she knew it was time to leave after she watched a fetus “crumple” as it was vacuumed out of a patient’s uterus in September.
“When I was working at Planned Parenthood I was extremely pro-choice”…But after seeing the internal workings of the procedure for the first time on an ultrasound monitor, “I would say there was a definite conversion in my heart … a spiritual conversion.”
Johnson said she became disillusioned with her job after her bosses pressured her for months to increase profits by performing more and more abortions, which cost patients between $505 and $695.
“Every meeting that we had was, ‘We don’t have enough money, we don’t have enough money — we’ve got to keep these abortions coming…It’s a very lucrative business and that’s why they want to increase numbers….For them there’s not a lot of money in education…There’s as not as much money in family planning as there is abortion.”
…A spokeswoman for Planned Parenthood refused to answer questions about Johnson’s accusations, but released a statement noting that a district court had issued a temporary restraining order against the former branch director.1
Abortion thrives on the concept of out of sight out of mind or out of sight in order to dehumanize. Beautiful, healthy, innocent and defenseless human babies are murdered in unimaginably brutal and painful manners for money and rarely does anyone think to actually see what is going on, what is the reality of the matter, what is actually being done.
It never fails that when a certain pro-life group comes to our local college campus and displays photos of aborted babies the inhabitants of the supposed center for higher leaning complain that the photos are too graphic and they take offence. Do they not understand cause and effect? They support the cause and do not want to see their support’s effect. This is tantamount to besmirching Jews for graphic photos taken in concentration camps during the Holocaust.
For decades the ultrasound recording known as the silent scream has been available and women contemplating abortion have been encouraged to watch it in order to fill their senses with that which they are planning on doing. For just as long abortion money machines such as Planned Parenthood have shuttered to think what would happen if these women did so.
Abby Johnson had worked at the clinic for eight years, but departed from the facility following a profound change of heart about abortion. The Planned Parenthood clinic was the location of the first-ever 40 Days for Life campaign in the fall of 2004, and the prayer and fasting initiative has been held outside the doors of Johnson’s former workplace five additional times since 40 Days for Life began its rapid spread to 282 cities across all 50 states and several other countries.
“This amazing conversion demonstrates the importance of a constant, peaceful prayer presence in front of abortion facilities,” said David Bereit, national director of 40 Days for Life. “From that first campaign in 2004, we’ve prayed for Abby – and for all abortion workers – that they would come to see what abortion really is, and that they would leave the deadly business. In this case, those prayers have been answered. We are so proud of Abby’s courage to leave the abortion industry and publicly announce her reasons for leaving.”
Johnson said, “I left on good terms and simply had a change of heart on this issue. Over the past few months I had seen a change in motivation regarding the financial impact of abortions and really reached my breaking point after witnessing a particular kind of abortion on an ultrasound.”
In the wake of her departure, Planned Parenthood has gone to court to seek a restraining order against both Johnson and the Coalition for Life, the local group that originated 40 Days for Life and continued regular prayer vigils in front of the clinic for the past five years. A court hearing on the order, which addresses disclosure of confidential information, is scheduled in a Texas court on November 10.
Shawn Carney, the director of the Coalition for Life and a 40 Days for Life board member, has been working with Johnson since she left her job last month. The former clinic director has even begun to pray outside the clinic where she formerly worked. “It’s truly been a testament to the power of prayer and the courage of Abby to leave a job she felt she could no longer do in good conscience,” Carney said. “It has been a joy for all of our volunteers who have prayed outside of the clinic for the conversion of the clinic workers to witness that conversion actually happens.”
Johnson is one of eight abortion industry workers who left their jobs during the fifth coordinated 40 Days for Life campaign that concluded yesterday in 212 cities. She was the highest-ranking of the eight. Others who quit their clinic jobs included nurses, office staffers and security personnel.
In addition, a Planned Parenthood abortion facility in Kalispell, Montana announced that it will close its doors on November 20, citing a decline in business as the reason for the closure. That clinic was the site of a 40 Days for Life prayer vigil this past spring.2
Oh, I almost forgot; this is merely a happenstantial event and had nothing to do with God. No, indeed, someone resigned from an abortion money machine of an organization due to her delusion of having had “a spiritual conversion”—right?
