Speaking at the Republican National Convention last night, former Planned Parenthood employee, Abby Johnson, explains why she left the abortion industry.
The Daily Caller provides a partial transcript of what she said:
“My supervisor assigned me a new quota to meet… an abortion quota,” she said. “I was expected to sell double the abortions performed the previous year. When I pushed back, underscoring Planned Parenthood’s public facing goal of decreasing abortions, I was reprimanded and told abortion is how we make our money.”
“But the tipping point came a month later when a physician asked me to assist with an ultrasound-guided abortion,” she continued. “Nothing prepared me for what I saw on the screen. An unborn baby fighting back, desperate to move away from the suction.”
Johnson said that she will “never forget” the doctor joking, “Beam me up, Scotty.”
