Couple of comments: First, there is a reason PP objects vehemently to showing either aborted fetuses or “partial-birth” abortions. Except for those who hold no value for human life, such displays would turn public opinion prohibitively in favor of the pro-life movement.

Second, Johnson will probably end up like the IG from California, someone who is “mentally imbalanced” and was, just coincidentally, about to be relieved of duties because of that imbalance.

Those of us who are former abortion supporters ourselves can identify to a certain degree with what Johnson feels – once it hits you, the guilt eats you alive.

ST, do not beat yourself up over that. Maybe you were wrong once. But you had an open mind and examined the evidence. It takes a certain type of moral integrity to disregard prior assumptions and reach an honest conclusion based on objective evidence.

We see people who lack that integrity all the time. They’ll admit you’re right on the facts, but will stretch to find a reason, however bizarre, to hold stubbornly to their predetermined ideas. Hell, I can name one or two that post on this blog from time to time.

Besides, consider this: no one is as well placed to reach others who are either undecided or are pro-abortion. People like Abby Johnson and you have been on both sides and can discuss the issue more effectively than someone who has been pro-life from Day One. But the guilt part – that has to go. Life’s too short to carry that around.

Tara, I know there had been an existing law on the books that applied only to babies classified as “viable” (non-viable were not treated as human) – are you saying the above law is an update to the original one?

This is an amazing story, and her decision says so much about the gravity of what she saw and the role she was asked to perform at Planned Parenthood. It’s inspiring to see people make such bold moves.

For clarification about IL state law, it looks like whatever Obama may have advocated is no longer in effect:
“Subsequent to the abortion, if a child is born alive, the physician required by Section 6(2)(a) to be in attendance shall exercise the same degree of professional skill, care and diligence to preserve the life and health of the child as would be required of a physician providing immediate medical care to a child born alive in the course of a pregnancy termination which was not an abortion. Any such physician who intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly violates Section 6(2)(b) commits a Class 3 felony.”

Well, there are small miracles everyday….I am sure this woman is suffering terrible guilt now and a few prayers should be made to assist her through this trial. Having been on the other side, too, and having to deal with the guilt, I know this can take years if you don’t get down on your knees and beg for forgiveness. That’s the only thing that worked for me. Being a proud, independent sort of person I had no idea how abortion can affect your body, mind and spirit…especially your spirit.

God can bring you through some awful things and restores your soul! Better days are ahead for Ms. Johnson!

That’s the thing about Abortion. The only people who go from pro-life to pro-abort are politicians needing to curry favor. When people on the ground make the switch (like, say, Norma McCorvey, a.k.a. Jane Roe of Roe v. Wade), it’s almost always because somehow they have seen the fallout of what it does.

Abby Johnson, welcome home. The angels are rejoicing. (Just like they’ve been partying for years over their dear ST.)

Just think, our President pushed legislation in IL as a state representative that outlawed providing any medical care for fetuses that survived the abortion procedure and were viable. Doctors were required to let the child die and then be disposed of unceremoniously with the medical waste.

Tell me again how Obama is a centrist, and moral.
