No wonder Planned Parenthood fights tooth and nail to keep laws requiring that ultrasound images be made available to pregnant women who are considering an abortion.

Not only does viewing an image of a preborn baby convince somewhere between 60% and 80% of abortion minded women to chooose life, it's now starting to cost Planned Parenthood personnel.

Abby Johnson was the Bryan, Texas director for it's local Planned Parenthood clinic until she watched an abortion procedure via ultrasound and realized, "I can't do this anymore."

She's now committed her life to God and is working with the Coalition For Life, a pro-life group with its offices in a building just down the street. She now prays with volunteers outside the Planned Parenthood clinic where she used to participate in the taking of innnocent human life.

Bizarrely, Ms. Johnson has been slapped with a restraining order by Planned Parenthood, in which it complains that the pro-abortion organization would be "irreparably harmed" by the "disclosure of certain information" Johnson possesses.

It's hard not to read this as an admission on Planned Parenthood's part that they know full well that they are involved in activities that most people would find abhorrent, and they're simply hoping people won't find out.
