Former Planned Parenthood Director Gets Mixed Reaction to Pro-Life Stance

 

Abby Johnson is finding out who her real friends are.  Johnson recently walked away from her position at a Planned Parenthood in Bryan, Texas.   
 
Johnson left Planned Parenthood after witnessing a baby being killed during an ultrasound-assisted abortion.  Since then, Planned Parenthood has filed court documents against her. 
 
Veteran pro-lifer Barbara Lyons, executive director of Wisconsin Right to Life, said Johnson's experience illustrates the harshness of abortion supporters.
 
"The heat she is taking is essentially an intimidation move by proponents of abortion," she said.  "They do not want more 'Abby Johnson's' out there.  It reflects very badly on their cause, that someone who was an insider has now become so public on the other side."
