Abby Johnson

I am far from a perfect pro-lifer.

I am definitely not the best wife, and no one has nominated me for 'Mother of the Year.'

Being pro-choice was not just a movement to me; it was a lifestyle. I wholeheartedly embraced that lifestyle and loved being a part of it.

I wish I had a dollar for every pro-choicer who told me that abortion has to be accessible for poor women... as if being poor makes you an unfit mother.

How pro-lifers are perceived by those who oppose us is important.

There is such little tolerance for women on the national stage who don't agree with the hosts of 'The View' or celebrities who march with Planned Parenthood.

The abortion industry is interested in nothing but the bottom line.

I live with very serious headaches, even though I am on daily medication.

I am part of a movement that loves women into conversation and conversion. I am part of the pro-woman movement.

I had developed a relationship with one of the anti-abortion sidewalk counselors who stood in front of my facility. We talked regularly through the fence and she had asked me to go have coffee with her one day. I was impressed with her persistence and, honestly, I thought I would really like her if I got to know her.

Can you love people into truth? Absolutely.

I have daughters. They love Disney princesses.
