Aug. 10, .2010 - Abby Johnson, who worked at the Planned Parenthood clinic in Bryan, Texas, for nine
years, first as a volunteer and then as the director, will be the keynote speaker at the Texas Alliance for Life
annual fundraising dinner Oct. 19 at the Hilton Austin, 500 E. 4th St. in Austin.
Johnson’s duties at the clinic included running the family planning and the abortion
programs. Her change of heart about abortion came as a result of watching an
ultrasound during an abortion. Although she had seen ultrasound images before,
she had never before watched one while an abortion was being performed. “I could
see the baby try to move away from the probe," she recalled.
She does not know why she was asked to be in the procedure room on that day.
t was not a normal part of her duties as director of the clinic.
Joe Pojman, executive director of TAL, noted that Johnson is the highest-ranking Planned Parenthood official
to join the pro-life side. She has been featured on a number of national outlets including The O'Reilly Factor,
The Huckabee Report, and Focus on the Family Daily Broadcast., Pojman said. In her address to the TAL
dinner, he said, she is expected to discuss current pro-life initiatives in Texas.
