“Unplanned,” the recently released film adapted from Abby Johnson’s memoir of leaving Planned Parenthood and becoming a pro-life activist, is really just a prequel.
When Johnson quit her job in 2009, she could have lived off the notoriety of being a clinic manager who changed sides, telling her conversion story to pro-life audiences. Instead, she founded And Then There Were None (ATTWN) in 2011, a nonprofit that helps other abortion workers leave their jobs.
Johnson originally joined Planned Parenthood to help care for women and knows that clinics are full of workers just like her. At the time, she saved up stories of the unambiguous good she was doing (detecting uterine cancer, aiding women with postpartum depression), to defend her job to her pro-life family and husband.
