Abby Johnson, former abortion clinic director for Planned Parenthood, was recently interviewed on In the Market with Janet Parshall.  (Audio starts at the 19:40 mark.)

Abby has also written a best-selling book, unPLANNED, and travels around the world sharing her story.  In June 2012, Abby started And Then There Were None, a ministry dedicated to helping abortion clinic workers leave the industry. Since June of 2012, Abby reported over 50 abortion workers have left the industry!

In the light of what abortion workers have experienced at Kermit Gosnell’s “house of horrors” in Philadelphia and now Douglas Karpen’s clinic in Houston, Abby’s ministry is a timely one.

Abby speaks to these workers – who often rationalize or justify working at these clinics even when they know it’s wrong – in the video below:

Following the tradition we started two years ago, we’re posting all the upcoming summer pro-life teen- and college-aged boot camps we could find around the country. If we missed any, please let Kelli know.

If I had teens in the house now I’d not only send them to church camp every summer, I’d send them to at least one pro-life boot camp during their high school years. These provide a great opportunity to build strength and confidence in the sanctity of life and also launch lifelong pro-life friendships.

It’s great to see so many pro-life groups in so many states sponsoring these vital training programs for our young people….

When I left the hospital with Jett, the whole world looked different to me….

I’ve always been into my work and wanted to do work that I could be proud of. Now, I want to do work that she can be proud of.

This week critical mass was reached. The Benghazi, IRS, and DOJ scandals became too much for liberal cartoonists to ignore, and they came down en masse on President Obama. It appears the likely straw was spying on one of their own.

Be sure to vote for your favorite in the poll at the end of the post. And be sure to see Part I!

This weekend’s question comes from good friend Josh Brahm, Director of Education and Public Relations, Right to Life of Central California:

What are the most frustrating or annoying things that pro-choice people do that shuts down good dialogue? Stories are welcome.

this year was our fourth annual pledge a picketer fund drive….

of course we count the babies in carriers and strollers, and yes, i count the obviously pregnant ladies for two. afterall, they are displaying their big bellies as tools of shame, same as they are their toddlers.. and besides, they count them, right? (this is a LIFE!!) plus, i am that escort who will call a fetus a baby without shame, and still justify termination as a compassionate option, no matter what the reason is.

of course i can’t have that conversation on the sidewalk. for one thing that would be engaging, which i try to avoid at all, but also the predictable next step (to call me a murderer) crosses the line of trying to argue logically with an illogical person, hence the non-engagement.

• ProLifeBlogs features an article from The Black Kettle which states that when the pro-life group Coalition for Life of Iowa applied for nonprofit status, the IRS “sought details about the content of members’ prayers at a Planned Parenthood” and “demanded that the group refrain” from doing so. They later dropped the demand when the group sought assistance from the Thomas More Society.
