Planned Parenthood Director Quits Abortion Business, Experiences Conversion at
Starting Place of 40 Days for Life
BRYAN, Texas, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The director of the Planned
Parenthood abortion center in Bryan/College Station, Texas has resigned her
job. 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.
