Abby Johnson

Abby Johnson has always had a fierce determination to help women in need. It was this desire that
both led Abby to a career with Planned Parenthood, our nation’s largest abortion provider, and
caused her to flee the organization and become an outspoken advocate for the pro-life movement.
During her eight years with Planned Parenthood, Abby quickly rose in the organization’s ranks and
became a clinic director. She was increasingly disturbed by what she witnessed. Abortion was a
product Planned Parenthood was selling, not an unfortunate necessity that they fought to decrease.
All of that changed on September 26, 2009 when Abby was asked to assist with an ultrasound-guided
abortion. She watched in horror as a 13 week baby fought, and ultimately lost, its life at the hand of
the abortionist. At that moment, the full realization of what abortion was and what she had dedicated
her life to washed over Abby and a dramatic transformation took place.

​

Desperate and confused, Abby sought help from a local pro-life group. She swore that she would
begin to advocate for life in the womb and expose abortion for what it truly is.

The media continues to be intensely interested in Abby’s story as well as her continued efforts to
advocate for the unborn and help clinic workers escape the abortion industry. Abby shared her story
at the 2020 Republican National Convention and is a frequently requested guest on Fox News and a
variety of other shows. She is the author of the nationally best-selling book and movie adaption,
Unplanned, which chronicles both her experiences within Planned Parenthood and her dramatic exit.
