Just received breaking news from Katerina Ivanovna, M.J. Andrew, and an email from Coalition for Life concerning a major defection from Planned Parenthood to the Culture of Life movement.
Abby Johnson worked at Planned Parenthood abortion mill in Bryan, Texas for eight years, the last two as its director. After viewing an ultrasound of an abortion she had a spiritual conversion. Last month she submitted her resignation to the abortion mill and like clockwork Planned Parenthood has placed a restraining order on her and the local chapter of Coalition for Life, where she had been spending more and more time at.
Bryan, Texas is where Texas A & M University is located and is a two hour drive northwest of Houston. The following is the entire news story by KBTX of Bryan/College Station, Texas with my comments and emphases::
Planned Parenthood has been a part of Abby Johnson’s life for the past eight years; that is until last month, when Abby resigned. Johnson said she realized she wanted to leave, after watching an ultrasound of an abortion procedure.
“I just thought I can’t do this anymore, and it was just like a flash that hit me and I thought that’s it [by the grace of God!],” said Jonhson.
She handed in her resignation October 6. Johnson worked as the Bryan Planned Parenthood Director for two years.
According to Johnson, the non-profit was struggling under the weight of a tough economy, and changing it’s business model from one that pushed prevention, to one that focused on abortion [the truth comes out on the purpose of Planned Parenthood].
“It seemed like maybe that’s not what a lot of people were believing any more because that’s not where the money was. The money wasn’t in family planning, the money wasn’t in prevention, the money was in abortion and so I had a problem with that,” said Johnson.
Johnson said she was told to bring in more women who wanted abortions, something the Episcopalian church goer recently became convicted about.
“I feel so pure in heart (since leaving). I don’t have this guilt, I don’t have this burden on me anymore that’s how I know this conversion was a spiritual conversion.”
Johnson now supports the Coalition For Life, the pro-life group with a building down the street from Planned Parenthood. Coalition volunteers can regularly be seen praying on the sidewalk in front of Planned Parenthood. Johnson has been meeting with the coalition’s executive director, Shawn Carney, and has prayed with volunteers outside Planned Parenthood.
On Friday both Johnson and the Coalition For Life were issued temporary restraining orders filed by Planned Parenthood.
Rochelle Tafolla, a Planned Parenthood spokesperson issued the following statement: “We regret being forced to turn to the courts to protect the safety and confidentiality of our clients and staff, however, in this instance it is absolutely necessary.”
The temporary restraining order contends that Planned Parenthood would be irreparably harmed by the disclosure of certain information […that their main purpose is to kill innocent unborn children?!], but does not bar Johnson or Coalition For Life volunteers from the premises.
As of Sunday evening, neither Johnson nor Carney had seen the complaint filed against them that prompted the restraining order.
A hearing about the order has been set for November 10.

People who blindly love PP never realize (or if they even do acknowledge it — even if silently, they play the blind fool) the kind of malicious activities it is actually involved with.
The murdering of innocent children rarely even enters their minds, and should it invade their thoughts; they avail themselves such euphemisms in order to tidy up the dirt in their consciences (e.g., the “Pro-Choice” stance on behalf of women everywhere).
That’s what happens when all you have is PP for brains.
I’ve heard that one of them even refers to the innocent unborn children as an “un-dividual”.
Interesting how PP seeks to market abortion. They are all about driving up their market share of the blood money produced by the abortion industry.
Of course —
Think about it: their commission is based on how many children they murder.
Besides, imagine the good they’re doing not only for women everywhere, but also for the whole of humanity?
Overpopulation would undoubtedly result if we allowed these repulsive things (otherwise infamously known as “children”) to exist in the first place!
So much for “pro-choice.” They don’t want mothers to choose life, it cuts into their market share.
Thank God Abby Johnson has seen the light. She will be a powerful witness.
BTW, Obama admin: what Abby Johnson now is doing is really “speaking truth to power.” Power doesn’t like it too much.
Where has the intellect of this woman been for all her years? While this is good to hear it is pathetic, to put it mildly.
I am glad, however, for her change of heart and wish her peace as she comes to terms with her previous life.
Karl, well, look at all the abortions Bernard Nathanson performed before he came to his senses. The man aborted his own child, God help us, and yet he woke up, made “The Silent Scream” and eventually was received into the Church.
I always thought that if he could repent and change his life there is hope for the worst among us.
Not to mention “Jane Roe” herself, Norma McCorvey, another famous convert to the pro-life cause and the Catholic faith as well. Another example of “if they can be converted anyone can.”
Karl, the exact same thing could be said about St. Paul (substituting “man” for “woman” of course).
Is my impression false that the first thing that “liberal” organizations [Planned Unparenthood, ACORN, ACLU] do when confronted about their activities is to reach for a lawsuit?
No honest discussion, no back and forth – just sue. It puts me in mind of Our Lord’s strictures on lawyers.
Well, after reviewing the TRO and related pleadings, apparently PP is pissed of that Ms. Johnson allegedly copied several files (employment, I am assuming) and allegedly shared info w/ Coalition on who works at the facility. Her employment contract did have confidentiality provisions. I hope she did not do anything she will regret.
Technically, Texas A&M is located in College Station, Tx. Bryan is about 7 miles away.
Actually, the two cities border each other. The distance between downtown districts may be 7 miles.
When talking megalopolises like College Station and Bryan, I don’t count their ‘burbs.
Spent 6 years out there… ‘burbs are nonexistent. 🙂
A special thanks to Abby Johnson, the ex-director of the Bryan Texas Planned Parenthood office on 29th Street:
Abby Johnson now encourages thinking and loving individuals to place a special value on others who are (also humans made in the image of God) and in the same stage of development that “They were”!
The thoughts that dance in the mind of humans, is conceived in their heart and hinges on the pivotal question that ushers in the undeserved “Death penalty” for the unborn; or the joyous excitement, anticipating the soon coming birth of a child.
The question that answers the complex motive for a person’s actions after conception is “Is the pregnancy and baby wanted or rejected by one or both parents (or families) of the child”?!!!
And if most women-with-child was loved by the child’s father,
she would smile and happily say “No abortion” why bother.
Ask God and the person you mated with to forgive you,
forgive yourself and live the abundant life.
Sincerely ProBaby,
Arthur Trafford
