Former Planned Parenthood Leader Reveals the Inside Secrets of the Abortion Business in Webcast, Book


Abby Johnson will tell the shocking, moving story of her conversion from Planned Parenthood abortion clinic director to pro-life advocate beginning at 9 p.m. Eastern time Jan. 10 in a webcast to preview her book UnPlanned, which releases the next morning.

Ignatius Press will publish an edition of UnPlanned for the Catholic market on Jan. 11.

Johnson’s entire story has never been revealed publicly…until now. She fought and won a legal battle against her former employer, Planned Parenthood, which sued Johnson and sought a restraining order to keep her silent about her years with the organization – including time as director of the Planned Parenthood clinic in Bryan, Texas.

Johnson will talk about that court battle – part of Planned Parenthood’s furious reaction to her decision to literally “cross the fence” and quit her job to join local and national pro-life efforts. She’ll also detail what the legal fight brought to light about Planned Parenthood’s real agenda.

The webcast is free, and those who register can download the full text of UnPlanned’s first chapter in advance. In only eight of the book’s 268 pages, Johnson reveals in that first chapter the shocking discovery that suddenly caused her to question everything Planned Parenthood had told her over eight years as a volunteer, then full-time employee.

She’ll talk about how she got involved in the organization while still in college and Planned Parenthood’s confidential plans to expand its biggest money-maker – abortion – across America.

Johnson also will discuss the personal secret she’d kept buried for years, and her conversion to Catholicism. Johnson is currently enrolled in RCIA classes, and expects to be baptized and received into the Church this spring – in time for Easter.

The Spirituality and Miracles of St. Clare of Assisi

Image
August 11 is the memorial of St. Clare, one of my favorite saints. She was the first woman to follow the life of radical poverty practiced by St. Francis of Assisi and is the co-founder of the Poor Clares. Although I am not a Franciscan, I have had Franciscan friends, clergy, and spiritual directors instruct me on the beauty of St. Clare's spirituality. I have also learned a great deal from reading about her over the years. Clare and Francis (2007) is a film which depicts the fascinating story of her dramatic conversion and surrender to the will of God. St. Clare is the patron saint of television. She is also the patron of eye disorders, embroiderers, good weather, and telephones. The Contemplative Life The Lady Clare was born into a noble family in Assisi in 1193 and was admired for her great beauty. When she heard Francis of Assisi preach his Lenten homilies at the Church of San Giorgio, she was captivated by his words. At age eighteen, she heard him say: "When the

Today is the feast of Saint Michael de Sanctis, also known as St. Michael of the Saints, a Spanish Discalced Trinitarian priest, the patron of cancer patients. Michael Argemir was born on September 29, 1591 at Vic, Catalonia, Spain. At age 6, he told his parents that he planned to become a monk and began modeling his life after Saint Francis of Assisi. Michael’s parents died when he was about ten years old. He then served as an apprentice with a local merchant. During this apprenticeship, he continued his fervent devotion to the Lord, especially to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. At the age of 12, he joined the Trinitarian Friars at Barcelona, taking his vows at St. Lambert’s monastery in Saragosa four years later.  Shortly afterwards, Michael expressed a desire to join the reformed group of Trinitarians and was given permission to do so. He went to the Novitiate at Madrid and, after studies at Seville and Salamanca, he was ordained a priest. Twice he served as Superior of the hou

Saint Gerard of Brogne: Patron of Abbots

Image
St. Gerard was born to a noble family in Staves, Belgium, in 895. He descended from a royal line of military men and at first felt a share in this call to arms. He trained for the army and, as a page of the count of Namur, he was sent on a special mission to the French court. There, Gerard realized that he was being called to the monastic life. He stayed in France and joined the Benedictines of St. Denis, abandoning his noble birthright and all his worldly possessions. He spent eleven years in France as a monk before becoming a priest. Following his ordination, he left for Belgium in order to found a new abbey on his own estate of Brogne. He was its abbot for twenty-two years and during that period was instrumental in introducing St. Benedict's Rule into numerous houses in Flanders, Lorraine and Champagne.He became known for his engaging sweetness of temper, his strict observance of the Rule of St. Benedict and for the replacement of lukewarm religious practice with true piety.
