― Abby Johnson
“Planned Parenthood claims to offer a wide variety of services, but they actually fall short in many areas.”
― Abby Johnson

― Abby Johnson
“The testimony of former abortion workers can help persuade lawmakers to create fair laws that protect women from dirty abortion facilities.”
― Abby Johnson
