ALEXANDRIA, La. (LBM) – During the upcoming CENLA Pregnancy Center ‘Gift of Life’ Fundraising Banquet, Sept. 14, at the Alexandria Riverfront Center, former Planned Parenthood clinic director Abby Johnson will share her testimony about how she became an outspoken pro-life advocate.
“People will want to hear her story,” CPC Director Claire Lemoine told the Baptist Message. “She was on the inside walls of Planned Parenthood for many years and now she is traveling around the country with a powerful message. To have her visit central Louisiana is a long-time dream of ours and we can’t wait for people to have this rare opportunity.”
According to her website, www.abbyj.com, Johnson left Planned Parenthood as a clinic director after assisting with an ultrasound-guided abortion on Sept. 26, 2009, during which she “watched in horror as a 13-week baby fought for, and ultimately lost, its life at the hand of the abortionist,”
Johnson quickly departed the nation’s largest abortion provider, vowing to become an advocate for life inside the womb and to expose the lies of the abortion industry. She has continued sharing her story around the globe and has helped more than 430 former abortion clinic workers leave the industry through her ministry, And Then There Were None.
The largest fundraiser of the year for the pregnancy center also will feature testimonies by pro-life supporters and updates will be presented about how God has used this pro-life ministry to help save central Louisiana babies from abortion.
Table sponsorships and individual tickets still are available and additional information can be found by visiting www.cenlapc.com, and by calling Laurie Gauthier, 318.308.4310.
