Planned Parenthood Director Resigns, Teams with Pro-Life Group

 

A Planned Parenthood director has resigned from a Bryan, Texas, clinic after witnessing an abortion. That's according to KBTX, a Texas CBS affiliate. The mainstream media have ignored the story.

"You actually see the baby on the (ultrasound) screen as it's being killed," Abby Johnson, 29, told CitizenLink. "That was very heart-wrenching for me."

Johnson resigned in early October, following pressure from her employer to "get more abortions in the door," the TV station reported.

"I just thought, 'I can't do this anymore,' " Johnson told KBTX. "It was just like a flash that hit me, and I thought, 'That's it.' "

Johnson now volunteers at Coalition for Life, a pro-life group located just a block away from the Planned Parenthood clinic where she worked for eight years.

"I don't have this guilt; I don't have this burden on me anymore," Johnson told the TV station.

Planned Parenthood has received a temporary restraining order against Johnson and Coalition for Life, saying the "disclosure of certain information" would "irreparably" harm the abortion giant. A hearing has been set for next week.
