Book Review- Unplanned by Abby Johnson

I recently finished the book “Unplanned” by Abby Johnson. The story is about Abby and her journey from one side of the fence to the other. If you don’t understand keep reading and I will explain. 🙂

Rating: ***** 5 stars- as usual with my book reviews!
Age to read: 13 and up – The book did describe the abortion process in the first chapter so that is why I think it should be for mature readers only…

Abby Johnson started volunteering at Planned Parenthood after a volunteer fair at her college. She had a heart for the women coming and wanted to help them. Planned Parenthood fed her lies that by giving abortions they were helping the women. Abby had two abortions herself and moved on to operate the clinic in Bryan, TX. But then, one fateful day she helped with an abortion procedure and her eyes were opened. God had been wooing her over time and this one act was the last straw. She knew now that what she had been doing all along was help support killing babies. Read this incredible book to learn about Abby’s amazing story of walking across the line from Planned Parenthood to Coalition for LIFE!!!

#33- Took Steps At Abortion Clinic

So I have not been keeping up with my hard things as much as I would like. Sorry! But yesterday I did a couple hard things while at the abortion clinic (hard thing #2) with my family. I talked for the first time with a mother going in. I was standing by the driveway trying to hand out booklets when someone actually rolled down the window. My mom was right there and together we talked to her. She ended up going in and getting an abortion but it was cool to see how God can use your holding up a booklet to open a conversation.

#18- Spoke on Microphone at Abortion Clinic

So..at the abortion clinic last week I spoke on the microphone for the first time. The mamas inside can hear whatever is said on the microphone. Recently, my sister and I wrote letters to the unborn, my mom encouraged us to share them at the clinic the next time we went. I will admit that I was a bit nervous to get on that microphone. But after asking the Lord for boldness and thinking about how what I was sharing could impact those inside, my fear left me. I was so blessed to be able to share God’s love to the mothers inside. Lord, let your will and not mine be done. Thank you.

#2- Fought for babies lives at abortion clinic

Recently my brother and mom have been going out to an abortion clinic to be sidewalk counselors to women who are going to have abortions. Me and my younger brother and sister went once to watch and today I went out again with my family. It is a sad and eye opening experience but I enjoy being able to participate in a spiritual battle over life and death. Every mother who walked into that clinic represented a death of a baby, a baby who is precious in the eyes of God. Today my hard thing is fighting for babies who have no voice. They want to yell, “Don’t kill me Mama!” They can’t. But we can. I can. We all can speak up for these babies. It can be hard to stand up for something so controversial, but hey isn’t that why it is on my 100 Hard Things list?
