From the Daily Signal by Kelsey Harkness
For eight years, Abby Johnson, who used to work for a branch of Planned Parenthood, didn’t just witness the fetal tissue donation process—she participated in it. Abby Johnson, 35, says Planned Parenthood staffers would receive $20 for “coercing” women to donate tissue from their aborted babies.
During her tenure at a southeast Texas clinic—the same location featured in the fifth undercover video (below) shot by the Center for Medical Progress—Johnson said she would “coerce” women to sign up for studies, then reap the financial benefits.
In 2009, a year after being named “Employee of the Year” at her clinic, Johnson, 35, said she witnessed a doctor performing an abortion on an ultrasound and quit her job.
The former clinic director has since become a pro-life activist, regularly criticizing Planned Parenthood’s abortion practices. The organization attempted to discredit parts of Johnson’s account and even obtained a temporary injunction against her, but Johnson was quickly cleared of any wrongdoing
Now, in light of allegations that Planned Parenthood is engaging in illegal activities surrounding its harvesting of fetal body parts, Johnson walked The Daily Signal through her experience with the donation process, from the moment she would ask a woman to participate in a “life-saving” study to the second her facility shipped off the body parts.
Planned Parenthood adamantly denies any wrongdoing in the recent string of videos released by the Center for Medical Progress, which have triggered multiple investigations and calls to strip the organization of its taxpayer dollars.
