- From April 13, 2023. This is the keynote lecture from our two-day conference.
About:
On June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a historic decision, the Dobbs ruling, reversing Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which together had made abortion the law of the land. Pro-lifers celebrated, while pro-choicers mourned. The factual reality, however, is that the high court’s decision will not end abortion in America. It has instead sent the issue back to the states, each of which is now in the process of responding with a myriad of new statewide abortions laws, some of them more restrictive and some of them more expansive. The Supreme Court’s new ruling means a whole new world for the pro-life and pro-choice movements. We now have entered into a post-Roe America. What does that mean? What will such an America look like? What does Dobbs really mean for abortion legislation going forward? What did Roe mean? Where does activism and the law go from here? How are churches responding? What does this mean for faith and freedom?
Bio:
Abby Johnson has always had a fierce determination to help women in need. It was this desire that both led Abby to a career with Planned Parenthood, our nation’s largest abortion provider, and caused her to flee the organization and become an outspoken advocate for the pro-life movement. During her eight years with Planned parenthood, Abby quickly rose in the ranks and became a clinic director. She was increasingly disturbed by what she witnessed. Abortion was a product that Planned Parenthood was selling, not an unfortunate necessity they fought to decrease. All of that changed on September 26, 2009 when Abby was asked to assist with an ultrasound-guided abortion. She watched in horror as a 13-week old baby fought, and ultimately lost, its life at the hand of an abortionist. At that moment, the full realization of what abortion was and what she had dedicated her life to washed over Abby and a dramatic transformation took place.
Desperate and confused, Abby sought help from a local pro-life group. She swore she would begin to advocate for life in the womb and expose abortion for what it truly is.
The media continues to be intensely interested in Abby’s story as well as her continued efforts to advocate for the unborn and help clinic workers escape the abortion industry. Abby shared her story at the 2020 Republican National Convention and is frequently requested as a guest on Fox News and other outlets. She is the author of the nationally bestselling book and movie adaptation, Unplanned, which chronicles both her experiences with Planned Parenthood and her dramatic exit.
She really is a great speaker and a great voice for the unborn. Respect!
Such an incredibly important message, from a gifted speaker! Shocked by the crowd though tbh...Where is everyone? Where are the young people? This NEEDS to be heard. So wish people could hear this!!!!
