Abby Johnson is an acclaimed leader in the ProLife Movement today. She was the director of the largest Planned Parenthood in the Nation (located in Texas) before her "conversion" to becoming ProLife some years ago. The newly released movie, Unplanned, is a dramatic portrayal of her story with the hopes to expose the evil of the abortion industry. She has been an influential voice in regards to ProLife pregnancy centers, ProLife organizations, ProLife legislation, and a very large portion of those who consider themselves ProLife.
I submit that it would be wise (a required duty of all Christians) to consider what she has to say, and weigh it according to truth.
"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." (1 John 4:1)
"And Paul and Silas...who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so." (Acts 17:10-11)
"Prove all things; hold fast that which is good." (1 Thessalonians 5:21)
"Hold fast the form of sound words...in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus." (2 Timothy 1:13)
In 2016, the U.S. Supreme Court shot down a ProLife measure to make abortion facilities follow the same standard as true medical facilities, Abby, who first and foremost calls herself ProWoman, had this to say to her followers on Facebook:

My comments regarding the Supreme Court's decision today.
The Supreme Court has made a dangerous decision for the hundreds of thousands of women who enter these unregulated, unsanitary, unsafe facilities every year. To require a facility performing invasive, medical procedures on a woman to meet the standards of an ambulatory surgical center is common sense. We can now see the true motive of the abortion industry...
It is not safety, it is simply "access" at any cost.
It is dangerous to allow abortion facilities to be less safe than similar ambulatory centers. As a former Planned Parenthood director myself, and as someone who knows the ins and outs of the industry, I can't say that I'm surprised that abortion proponents are trying to put profit before care for women. I can say, however, that women deserve the best care and I'm saddened by the decision rendered today. Indeed, this is a misstep in the rights of women.
Women have been treated as second class citizens when it comes to the basic standards of health care for far too long. It is time for ALL women to demand better treatment and better regulations. We deserve much better than the Supreme Court has given us today. We won't stop until that is exactly what we have received.
It's not over, friends."
My wife, Deana, read her post and right away wrote the following comment in response!
DEANA, Abolitionist of Human Abortion
Let's think this through righteously! Please.
Abortion is NOT healthcare. Abortion is homicide! The very women Abby is fighting to protect, those 'hundreds of thousands of women who enter these unregulated, unsanitary, unsafe abortion facilities every year' are walking into these death camps to pay a hitman with a medical license to murder their baby!
Come on, guys! And they are doing so voluntarily (except for the few that are being held in prostitution or under-aged girls being forced, etc.). These women are NOT the victims of unsanitary medical procedures...their children, who are brutally torn in pieces during the unsanitary procedures ARE!
Let's just keep that fact really PROMINENT, shall we?
These women whom Abby states 'deserve the best care' are guilty of premeditated bloodshed. It is that, plain and simple! Do you really think that Auschwitz had any real concern for cleanliness and health standards in the camps that housed the Jews? No, and neither did the German Supreme Court! They were pro-death with one agenda: kill the unwanted Jews.
Planned Parenthood and our own Supreme Court are also pro-death with one agenda: kill the unwanted babies. The sickening difference between the German death camps and the ones protected in our nation is that those being murdered are ushered in by their own parents.
I do care for these women. I plead with them every week as I stand outside of the killing centers. I use God's word to speak truth with a passion that desires their repentance. I want more than anything that they would be spared God's promised judgment to those who shed innocent blood. I do care for those running headlong to destruction (most of them with rebellious fists raised up to their Creator), and rejoice when they fear the LORD and flee evil!
["Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed unto destruction.
Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy." Proverbs 31:8-9]
But dear Christian, do not be deceived! Not once did Abby's post even mention a baby--you know, a baby, THE SURE VICTIM in every abortion--sanitary or unsanitary. We must wake up to this holocaust and treat it as the great evil that it is today. And we must do so with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Abortion is our greatest national sin. The number of the slain each year is more than all the American casualties in all the wars of our history COMBINED.
["Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? ...If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors." James 2:4, 8-9]
Abortion will be abolished when Christians repent! We must repent of our apathy, our tolerance, our worldly thinking, our gross neglect of our preborn neighbor, our silence, and our indifference! And what must follow a Godly repentance is righteous action! We must stand up for the vulnerable, for the fatherless, for those who cannot speak up for themselves, and for those being drawn away to their death.
["If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;
If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works." Proverbs 24:11-12]
Please do what you can to help those women who are pregnant in difficult situations--please stand with them and support them in their decision to do what is right--BUT NOT TO THE NEGLECT of the over 3,500 babies being killed each and every day by the will of their parents!
Dear church, what are you doing for THOSE mothers and THOSE babies? THOSE mothers are not calling for help and they are not entering the doors of the crisis pregnancy centers--they are boldly walking into the murder mills, money in hand, to pay a professional to kill THOSE babies.
["Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen." Deuteronomy 27:25]
In her Facebook response, Abby said that these specific women are being treated as 'second class citizens'. No, Abby, Let's not use emotional rhetoric to distort the truth and promote a ministry. This is not and has never been about woman's rights. These specific women are treating their precious babies worse than our own government would punish the most heinous of criminals.
Stop muddying the waters, ABBY!"
I agree with my wife's response!
When mothers procuring the murder of their children are portrayed as the victim, when in actuality it is their dead, discarded child that has been poisoned and/or torn to pieces (at their mother's approval), then of course it seems unloving to prosecute and criminalize women who have had abortions!
Take a step back and think about that statement in the light of Scripture! And remember that God Himself has "magnified [His] word above all [His] name" (Psalm 138:2).
"These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, an heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, a false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren." (Proverbs 6:16-19)
"Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made." (Ezekiel 22:4)
To say otherwise is heresy!
And that is exactly what the teachings of Abby Johnson has given birth to--a perversion of God's standard! Emotional rhetoric which distorts God's word! As Christians, it is what God emphatically declares that we should hold fast to--and nothing else. Abby Johnson is a practicing Roman Catholic and has repeatedly stated her beliefs to be anti-Christian! And many, many Christians either follow blindly, or choose to turn a blind eye to the truth, in order to rally around those who are influential and pragmatic in their approach to "the issue" of life!
But God is quite clear when it comes to the shedding of innocent blood and His command to seek justice for the fatherless!
Abortion is MURDER.
Murder is never safe for the victim.
It does not improve justice to campaign for the safety of the perpetrator.
Abortion must be abolished.
