Unplanned Part Three

Nonprofit is a tax status, not a business status. Revenue per patient must increase. Abortion quotas have been raised. You've got to find a way to get your abortion numbers up. Get your priorities straight. We are building the largest Planned Parenthood center in the country, where we'll be able to perform late-term abortions. Increase the number of days each week for medication abortions and direct women toward that option. Beam me up Scotty. -Pages 144-145

These are the words that flew through Abby Johnson's mind when she went back into the office on Monday, exactly one week after she saw the horrific late term abortion that made her realize she had to leave her job because she was delivering unborn children unto slaughter. The joking laugh of the doctor to turn on the suction by telling the nurse "Beam me up Scotty", the e-mails and verbal statements by her bosses to increase abortions (and revenues from them), and that non-profit was a tax status, not a business status.

Now I wanted to provide a quote here from Planned Parenthood's website to reinforce that they say one of their goals is to reduce the number of abortions in America. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find one despite extensively searching the About Us and History sections of the site for almost an hour. After all, I hear that from all their advocates, and it is brought up in this book as a selling point that was often used. That quote would have contrasted nicely with what Abby says, and perhaps even more with the announcement Planned Parenthood might mandate abortions in all of their clinics by 2013.

Anyhow, Abby looked down at her desk as she felt the dread building in her as she realized it was an abortion providing day for medicated abortions. There sat a card from one of the pro-life volunteers years ago who had left her flowers with a simple verse from the Bible (Psalm 126:3) and a note "I am praying for you Abby". It hit her then, she was on the wrong side of the fence. She began to cry and went for her car, assuring a coworker she was fine, and realized that she had to go to the Coalition for Life and talk to them.
