After more than 16 years as a leading voice in the pro-life movement, Abby Johnson believes one of its greatest challenges no longer comes from outside opposition. Instead, she argues that the movement has become increasingly reluctant to draw on the experience of women who understand the abortion industry from the inside. From her perspective, lasting progress depends on placing firsthand operational knowledge alongside advocacy, policy, and public engagement rather than limiting former abortion workers to sharing personal stories.
That conviction has become central to the work she continues through And Then There Were None (&TTWN), a nonprofit that helps abortion industry employees leave their jobs by providing financial, emotional, legal, and career support while helping them transition into new professions.
