Abby Johnson
Speaker & Author
Abby Johnson went to work for Planned Parenthood believing she would be helping women. After working her way up from volunteer to director of one of their facilities, and even winning Planned Parenthood’s employee of the year award, Abby had a surprising change of heart after witnessing a live ultrasound guided abortion procedure. It became clear in that moment that abortion did not provide the freedom she had promised so many women in those counseling rooms. Abortion only caused harm, destruction and devastation. Upon that realization, Abby left her job in the abortion industry and has been sharing her experiences ever since.
Her story was chronicled in a best-selling book, titled Unplanned, which was later turned into a major motion picture with the same name. She has gone on to write several other books, including The Walls Are Talking and Fierce Mercy.
She is the CEO of two successful prolife non-profits, And Then There Were None and ProLove Ministries, She also hosts her own podcast, Politely Rude. One of Abby's ministries, And Then There Were None, has helped over 700 abortion workers leave the abortion industry and come into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ.
Abby's greatest blessing is her vocation of wife and mother. She lives in Texas with her husband and 8 beautiful children.
