unPlanned: the story you need to read

Abby Johnson was the director of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Bryan, Texas.  Bryan is located in the Brazos Valley and is often in the path of hurricanes such as Hurricane Ike, which struck the Caribbean, Louisiana and Texas coastlines in September 2008.  An even bigger shock struck Bryan, Texas, the United States and perhaps the world in September 2009, when Abby resigned her position as director of the Planned Parenthood clinic in Bryan.
 Today, she sometimes stands at the very fence surrounding that clinic, except on the other side, praying for those who enter for various reasons and for the staff.  Abby has had a complete change of heart and mind, but let's start at the beginning.
Abby is an Aggie, a graduate of Texas A&M.  As a junior she attended a volunteer fair and decided to sign up to be a volunteer at a Planned Parenthood clinic.  Her job was to escort women who drove to the clinic, inside and distract them while volunteers from the other side tried to talk them out of going into the clinic.  The other side was the local chapter of the Brazos Valley Coalition for Life.  Coalition for Life volunteers stood on outside of the fence around the clinic, praying and talking to women before they entered the clinic.
Abby believed in the cause of Planned Parenthood as she understood it.  She knew that abortion was one of the options on the table, but believed strongly that she should ensure that women who found themselves in the midst of an unplanned pregnancy did not have to have the baby.  She endorsed adoptions of course and also assisted in counseling women how to avoid pregnancy.  She advanced steadily through the ranks and became the director of the local clinic.
 But it wasn't until the day that she assisted in an abortion, holding the ultrasound probe during the procedure that she came face to face with an ugly truth.  She watched as a baby that was about to be aborted, first tried to dodge the suction cannula, then started kicking in protest, then was twisted and shriveled and finally was sucked out of the womb.  As I write this description it sounds utterly horrifying.  Imagine watching....and participating!
Every woman who has ever thought about having an abortion should read this book.  Every man who has ever had intercourse with a woman, protected or unprotecteed, should read this book.  Everybody, anybody who has ever had or expressed an opinion about abortion or Planned Parenthood should read this book.  It will shake you, break you, make you open your eyes!  I read it straight through, cover to cover, non-stop.  I couldn't put it down.  Get a copy and read it today.  You will find this book online at http://inhishonor.deepershopping.com/ and of course at your local Christian bookstore.
