Shower upon me your promised roses of virtue and grace, Dear St. Therese, so that swiftly advancing in sanctity and perfect love of neighbor, I may someday receive the crown of life eternal.

Former Planned Parenthood worker Abby Johnson's address last week at the Republican National Convention detailed how Planned Parenthood promotes abortion, especially among minorities (Blacks & Hispanics) CHARLOTTE, North Carolina, August 25, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Abby Johnson took the stage of the Republican National Convention Tuesday evening to present a harrowing snapshot of the reality behind the euphemisms of abortion, and to call on America to stand up to it by supporting President Donald Trump. Johnson is a former Planned Parenthood abortion facility director who converted to the pro- life cause in 2009, and has since exposed numerous details about the inner workings of the abor- tion industry. She now leads And Then There Were None, a nonprofit dedicated to helping people leave the abortion industry. Her story was turned into a successful motion picture last year, Unplanned. Johnson began her remarks by explaining how she was recruited into Planned Parenthood at a job fair. “I truly believed I was helping women,” she said. “But things drastically changed in 2009.” That year, a trio of incidents opened her eyes: being chosen as employee of the year and attending the organization’s gala, where the Margaret Sanger Award, named for Planned Par- enthood’s infamous racist founder, is presented; being ordered to double the abortions performed at her facility because “abortion is how we make our money”; and having to participate in an ul- trasound-directed abortion. “Nothing prepared me for what I saw on the screen: an unborn baby fighting back, desperate to move away from the suction,” Johnson, who herself is post-abortive, said. “And I’ll never for- get what the doctor said next: ‘beam me up, Scotty.’ The last thing I saw was a spine twirling around in the mother’s womb before succumbing to the force of the suction.” “For most people, abortion is abstract. They can’t conceive of the barbarity,” she went on. “For me, abortion is real. I know what abortion sounds like, I know what abortion smells like. Did you know abortion had a smell? I do.” “I now support President Trump because he has done more for the unborn than any other president,” she declared, starting with restoring and expanding the Mexico City Policy that bans foreign aid to international abortion organizations. Prior to addressing the convention, Johnson said she “felt a lot of pressure to make the most provocative, impassioned, memorable pro-life…speech ever made,” after which listeners would not “ever be able to say, ‘Wow, we had no idea that those things happen during abortion.’ They’re going to know.” You can watch the talk Abby Johnson delivered at: https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/abby -johnson-unveils-barbarity-of-abortion-planned-parenthood-at-republican-national- convention September 6, 2020 3
