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.

Fran Pierson
Breakout Session
Freemasonry ~ Lucifer's useful Henchman
Freemasonry is the institutionalized face of the Revolution, a kind of anti-church which mimics and mocks the true Church founded by Christ. It fused ancient Gnosticism with Enlightenment ideology to form a syncretic 'Religion of Man' designed to oppose the Church of God. Masonry shrewdly conceals that ancient Revolution, begun in Eden's garden, under a cloak of liberal altruism which distracts men's attention away from its darker purpose, ushering in the reign of Lucifer in our world. To that end it serves as a recruitment vehicle aimed at ambitious men eager to climb the ladder of power and success. From these prospects it winnows out the select few (willing dupes) to be molded into elites trained to carry on the torch of political and social Revolution within society as within the Church. It's end game ever since the French Revolution has never changed: the overthrowing of both Throne and Altar, meaning any kind of Christian influence over society, in order to implement as Freemasonry's high priest Albert Pike boasted, "the Masonic religion in the purity of the Luciferian doctrine." Thus Freemasonry truly represents, "An Enemy Within."
