"As I took the ultrasound probe in hand, I could not have imagined how the next ten minutes would shake the foundation of my values and change the course of my life."
Abby Johnson joined Planned Parenthood as a college student because she wanted to help women in crisis- a goal she believed the organization shared. As she rose through the ranks to become a clinic director, however, things started to shift. Finances grew tighter, clinic practices changed, and Abby became increasingly unsettled about what she was being asked to do. But it wasn't until she helped perform an actual abortion procedure that Abby fully realized what she'd been a part of all those years.
