5. How to Answer Tough Questions About Abortion with Abby Johnson
Episode description
You may know Abby from her best-selling book and feature film "Unplanned,"or maybe you've heard her voice on the podcast "Politely Rude." Abby Johnson worked for Planned Parenthood for eight years, working her way up through the ranks to become the clinic director in Bryan, Texas. She was Planned Parenthood's Employee of the Year in 2008 but she walked away from her job after witnessing the abortion of a 13-week-old fetus during an ultrasound-guided abortion. She left Planned Parenthood and instantly became a national news headline for her defection, which led to a pro-life speaking career.
We are so lucky that today we get to talk with Abby about some very tough abortion questions. Today's show is for you if you've ever wondered how to respond to questions such as...
- Why isn’t treating ectopic pregnancy considered abortion?
- How should we respond to women who are victims of assault and feel like abortion is the only option due to trauma?
- What to respond wen people will say it’s better to abort than to bring a child into a bad home or in foster care.
- What about children with trisomy 18 or other complications that will cause them to die before or shortly after birth? Isn't it more compassionate for both the mother and child to terminate the pregnancy?
- What about cases where “abortion will save the mother?”
- And many more!
