Some of these strongest voices against
[2]
the abortion industry are the very
[4]
people who used to work in them. Former
[7]
Planned Parenthood director Abby Johnson
[9]
has been one of those brave outspoken
[11]
voices, and for our "Pro-Life Focus" segment
[14]
this week, we introduce you to more
[16]
abortion workers she helped make the
[18]
pro-life jump. "Anytime there's a
[23]
a large human tragedy, such as abortion,
[25]
people look for someone to blame." Abby
[30]
Johnson has been on both sides of
[32]
abortion industry walls. A post-abortive
[35]
mother herself, Johnson was the director
[37]
of a Texas Planned Parenthood clinic
[39]
before making a very public conversion
[42]
to the pro-life movement and the
[44]
Catholic faith. She's seen the deceit of
[47]
the abortion business firsthand and now
[49]
Johnson is helping others lead the
[51]
industry with her group 'And Then There
[54]
Were None.' "One of the biggest successes
[57]
that we have had is just the
[60]
sheer number of people who have come to
[63]
us." Now in year four her ministry has
[67]
helped over 330 abortion clinic workers
[70]
leave and seven full-time abortion
[73]
doctors transitioned to life affirming
[75]
clinics. "Our goal with 'And Then There Were
[78]
None" is to to show the humanity of
[82]
people who are working industry that
[84]
they're normal people. They're moms, they're
[87]
wives, they're daughters." Two of those
[89]
everyday women open up about why they
[92]
decided to exit the abortion industry.
[94]
"I was drinking heavily, my marriage was
[97]
pretty much done, my kids were angry with
[99]
me and I was working six days a week 10
[103]
to 12-hour shifts. And after packing up
[106]
the entire clinic by myself with just a
[110]
few staff members, I was told 'This might
[113]
not be the place for you, you just don't
[116]
fit in;' and I was like 'Yeah, you're right.'"
[119]
For former Planned Parenthood manager
[122]
Sue Thayer, the decision came after her
[125]
clinic started performing webcam
[127]
abortions. "I remember them saying
[130]
you know if you are breathing, you can do
[132]
a vaginal ultrasound. It helps if you've
[136]
played a video game, because it's a lot
[138]
like running a joystick. And I said is
[140]
this even legal to do this? And they said -
[142]
all of our i's are dotted and our t's are
[144]
crossed and nothing will stop us." Now on
[146]
the outside of the abortion industry,
[148]
these women helped shatter stereotypes
[151]
and give valuable insights to pro-lifers.
[153]
"You do get a hardening of the heart when
[156]
you work there, which is probably why
[158]
people have the misconception that they
[160]
do it oh they love to be there and
[162]
they're defending it so vehemently, but
[164]
it's because you do have this hardening
[166]
of your heart and then it's almost like
[168]
the darkness just overtakes you. Your
[171]
your humor becomes dark, you become dark,
[175]
it's just a very dark industry." If you
[180]
ask them how the transition has been so
[182]
far, they admit it has it's rough
[184]
patches. "Oof." "You lose all your friends
[189]
and you have to get all new friends yeah.
[192]
Really I mean in the process of like
[196]
flipping side, it's a big adjustment, but
[199]
it's the best adjustment you'll ever
[200]
make." "The biggest benefit for me was I
[203]
got my family back." For Abby Johnson,
[205]
seeing other abortion workers make the
[208]
brave jump is part of her mission to
[210]
end abortion from the inside out. "The
[214]
best moments of my life are when I'm on
[217]
the phone with someone when they're
[218]
walking out of their job for the last
[221]
time. You can almost hear the unburdening
[225]
in their voice and just the joy, just the
[232]
sheer joy." If you are working in the
[236]
