Leaving Planned Parenthood, The Truth About Life's Value, Creating a Legacy of Faith - w/ Abby Johnson

Show notes

About This Episode Abby Johnson once directed a Planned Parenthood clinic. In 2009, watching an ultrasound-guided abortion of a 13-week baby became her Damascus moment, and she walked away from the industry. In this conversation with Aaron, Abby shares how God's forgiveness freed her from shame over her own past, and why she now helps abortion workers leave and find new careers. As a mother of eight, she urges parents to talk openly with their children about life instead of outsourcing that to schools, pastors, or government, and to build a home where kids know a baby will always be welcomed with joy. She also warns against sacrificing family on the altar of ministry.
