Planned Parenthood exec resigns after watching abortion

Posted by Brad A. Greenberg

I don’t know how often my GetReligion colleague Mollie Hemingway watches local television news from KBTX in College Station, Texas, but she came across a gem recently.

Mollie says the story, as broken by KBTX, raises more questions than it answers about the exact circumstances of the director of the Planned Parenthood in the Texas A&M area resigning. But what I found so interesting was that Abby Johnson, who had run the local Planned Parenthood office, had a change of heart after watching an abortion on an ultrasound and has now switched sides:

Johnson said she was told to bring in more women who wanted abortions, something the Episcopalian church goer recently became convicted about.

“I feel so pure in heart (since leaving). I don’t have this guilt, I don’t have this burden on me anymore that’s how I know this conversion was a spiritual conversion.”

Johnson now supports the Coalition For Life, the pro-life group with a building down the street from Planned Parenthood. Coalition volunteers can regularly be seen praying on the sidewalk in front of Planned Parenthood. Johnson has been meeting with the coalition’s executive director, Shawn Carney, and has prayed with volunteers outside Planned Parenthood.

Read the rest of Mollie’s post here and check the KBTX report above.

Well that’s no fun.  I thought the anti-abortionists usually murder their foes (like that doctor from Kansas recently) while “protecting the unborn.”  It’s usually adults or anyone who can or is trying to speak for themselves that they have issues with. 

Obviously seeing an abortion, in other words educating people with the reality of an abortion is the intelligent way to approach the subject.  Except we should know the attitude towards education of those on the right.  McCain, fifth from the bottom of his class at West Point vs. Obama, top of his class… at Harvard.
Palin’s daughter’s ignorance about sex.  They are usually promoters of ignorance and hate, but abortion is certainly not a good answer, yet the left acts like it’s almost the equivalent of going to the bathroom.
