'It Is Abnormal to Sift Through Body Parts of Babies': Why 419 Abortion Workers Have Quit - CBN News Paul Strand
'It Is Abnormal to Sift Through Body Parts of Babies': Why 419 Abortion Workers Have Quit
02-13-2018
CBN News Paul Strand
WASHINGTON – So many workers in the abortion industry are quitting, a group that formed to get them out is stunned at its own success.
Abby Johnson, head of the organization And Then There Were None, is out to end abortions by leaving no one to perform them.
At a recent gathering in which the nation's capital was flooded with pro-lifers participating in the annual March for Life, Johnson talked of wanting to depopulate the abortion industry after she left her job as a Planned Parenthood manager and became a pro-life advocate.
Expected a Dozen, Got 419
She expected only 10 to 12 workers a year to actually quit.
"Because it is a hard sell," she said, "trying to convince people who work in the abortion industry to leave and come to the pro-life side."
Johnson can hardly believe how high the resignation numbers really are.
"We are up to 419 abortion workers who have left the abortion industry and who have come through And Then There Were None," she told CBN News. "And we also have had seven full-time abortion doctors leave the abortion industry."
'Don't Want to Participate in One More Abortion'
Registered nurse Shelley Guillory of Lafayette, Louisiana admitted she had to fight her own beliefs to assist in the many abortions she aided.
"Internally it was a conflict. And it just began to fester and fester till I just couldn't be there anymore," she recounted.
A sudden family tragedy – the death of her 20-year-old son – gave her three months away from the clinic. A pro-life protestor and sidewalk counselor showed her compassion when she returned.
Guillory told CBN News he said, "'What are you doing back here? We thought you quit.' And it was like no, my son passed away, so I was out briefly. And he was like, 'oh, I'm sorry to hear that.' He said, 'I wish you wouldn't have come back.'"
"I remember walking back into the clinic and thinking a little while and saying, 'I really don't want to be here and I don't want to even participate in one more abortion,'" she recalled.
She quit that day. And Then There Were None rushed to her aid.
"They assisted me with finances temporarily until I was able to find another job, and gave me emotional support. Helped me redo resumes," Guillory explained.
'Guilt Gets You in the Gut'
She really needed that emotional support after taking part in all those abortions.
"Guilt gets you in the gut where you least expect it," she revealed. "How could I have ever participated when it's not something that I would have chosen for myself or my daughters?"
Johnson understands that guilt over what those abortion workers do every day.
"It is abnormal to convince a woman to take the life of her child," she said. "It is abnormal to pit women against their children. It is abnormal to sift through body parts of babies."
Abortion Job Might Have Killed Her
Annette Lancaster was so wounded in her soul doing what she did at the Chapel Hill, North Carolina Planned Parenthood, she isn't sure she would have survived without And Then There Were None backing her up.
"If I wasn't in this organization, I don't think I would be here today," she said.
"When women would ask me 'do you think God is going to forgive me?' And trying to answer that question in a roundabout way, started affecting me. I was just in a very dark place in my life while working there," Lancaster revealed.
Lancaster knew about And Then Were None because of its business card popping up. In fact, a whole pile of them popping up.
"I actually received some cards that were put on my car," she recalled. "Not just one or two, but they were actually all around my car. And then my director was there and she said 'you're going to throw those away, right?' But I took one and I kept it in my pocket."
How She Came to Be 'Quit/Fired'
Her spiral downward on-the-job continued until she wrote up a letter of resignation and one particular day prepared to hand it in and quit. But then came a sudden surprise on the same day.
"I was called in that day into the office and was told 'you just don't fit in here anymore. And so I 'quit/fired,'" she said with a laugh. "I think they could tell the abortion numbers were going down tremendously when I was the manager there. So they could tell that I was not encouraging women to do the procedures, but rather discouraging them."
A Shady and Shoddy Reputation
A problem that some have getting out of the abortion business is that it has such a shady and shoddy reputation, many people don't want to hire those who worked in it. So Johnson is pleading with businesses, especially medical ones, to get over that prejudice and contact her organization and start working with it.
"Because we want to be able to have placements all over the country where we can say, 'Hey, you leave, I have a job for you today,'" she said.
Johnson doesn't just appreciate those workplaces that have partnered with her organization, but desperately-needed donors as well.
'Go With Your Heart and Listen to God'
"We don't have a Warren Buffett who's giving us millions of dollars," Johnson said with a smile.
CBN News asked Johnson if she was one of the family members who own the company, Johnson & Johnson.
"No, I'm not the Johnson & Johnson Johnson," she replied. "I don't have the money to fund it myself. It's just generous people – ordinary people –giving this extraordinary gift. And it's literally changing and saving lives."
As for those doctors, nurses and other workers who may be doubting if they should be in the abortion world, Lancaster has this message.
"I would tell them 'definitely go with your heart. Listen to God," she told CBN News.

Jonathan Cahn's NYT Best-Seller 'The Paradigm' Ties News From Israel to Ancient Blueprint - HAMILTON STRATEGIES
President Donald Trump made shocking international headlines in December when he announced that the United States would officially recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and ordered the U.S. Embassy be relocated there. And on his recent trip to the Holy Land in late January, Vice President Mike Pence announced that the embassy move was already under way and would open in 2019.
What is the significance of a recognition of a capital or the location of an embassy? These decisive actions show America's solidarity with Israel, says New York Timesbest-selling author Jonathan Cahn.
Cahn's newest best-seller, The Paradigm: The Ancient Blueprint That Holds the Mystery of Our Times (TheParadigmMystery.com), has much to say about the nation of Israel and the ancient ties to modern history.
"Few would deny that a dangerous metamorphosis is taking place in our world," Cahn says. "But not many realize that this metamorphosis is following the course of an ancient transformation—that of ancient Israel. Why Israel? Israel is the paradigm nation, the nation that stands as the pattern or model—for good or bad, better or worse—to the rest of the world. Israel is the exemplar nation. So what exactly happened? The Paradigm reveals a nation and an entire civilization, undergoing the dangerous metamorphosis we are all witnessing. This concerns America, in particular, and Western civilization and world civilization, in general.
"But it's not just an overall picture of decline," Cahn adds. "The amazing thing is that this ancient paradigm, or master blueprint, reveals the actual events of our times, the leaders of our times, even the exact dates when events are to take place in our times. The idea that an ancient Middle Eastern mystery could reveal the rise of today's world leaders sounds unbelievable—but it's true."
This ancient paradigm or master blueprint lies behind the events of the modern world—what's taking place right now before our eyes. It originated in ancient times, yet it reveals what is happening right now.
"This paradigm foretells the rise and fall of modern leaders and governments," Cahn continues. "It not only reveals the events of the modern world, but the timing of those events—revealing not only the year when a particular event is to take pace but, in some cases, the exact date—including the exact date when one of the most critical events of modern times took place. In fact, if one had known the mystery of The Paradigm years back, one could have marked on one's calendar the exact date of this event, years before it took place. The paradigm has affected all of our lives. We've all been part of its replaying. It's amazing, eerie and stunning. It even contains a warning concerning what lies ahead in the days to come."
The Paradigm, which has both stunned and engaged readers, debuted as a New York Times best-seller at No. 5 in late 2017. It is one of the most explosive and astounding books of 2017 and removes the veil behind the leaders, governments, events and scandals of modern times.
The Paradigm is also included on the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association's Annual Bestselling Christian Books List of 2017, at No. 10 for non-fiction and No. 14 overall. Cahn's previous hit, The Book of Mysteries, came in at No. 3 in fiction and No. 18 overall.
Cahn, who caused a stir throughout America and the globe with the release of his instant New York Times best-seller The Harbinger, which sold over 2 million copies, followed that earth-shattering work with The Mystery of the Shemitah and The Book of Mysteries, also New York Times best-sellers. In fact, the mysteries of the immensely popular The Harbinger continue and are intertwined with the mysteries of The Paradigm.
The Paradigm is published by Frontline, an imprint of Charisma House.
