From pro-choice to pro-life

I just finished the book "Unplanned" by Abby Johnson.  For 8 years she worked with Planned Parenthood in Texas.  She had justified it to herself for years because of the other services Planned Parenthood provided and she believed their goal was to see the number of abortions descrease by informing women.  They did provide abortions because they believed if they didn't women would go somewhere else that was dangerous and unsafe.  Abby was very passionate about her role with Planned Parenthood, becoming the Director of her clinic in Bryan Texas.  She was a Christian, went to church on Sunday's, but kept what she did for a living private, again justifying to herself that she was helping women.  Pro-life advocates lined the fence of her clinic daily praying for the women that went through the doors, and praying for Abby that God would open her eyes.  He did just that when she was called in to assist with a ultrasound guided abortion.  She was asked to help with the ultra sound machine.  This day changed her life.  She saw first hand that this really is a baby who is moving and fighting to live.  That day she walked out of Planned Parenthood and crossed the fence literally and joined the pro-life movement.

Her decision became major headlines in the US and has opened a new door of opportunity for her to speak for pro-life.  Her life was totally changed and her story is amazing to read.  I definately recommend it!
