TRANSCRIPT
Abby Johnson has become a very looming presence in the pro-life world, especially after having deserted Planned Parenthood and two abortions of her own. In a recent interview, she spoke with Church Militant about her frustration as a Catholic at the massive lack of leadership within the clergy (especially the bishops) when it comes to defending the preborn.
One case in particular that bothers Johnson, as it should all Catholics, is the apparently exalted, bulletproof status of James Martin.
If Abby sounds like she watches and follows Church Militant, well, there's a reason for that. Our talking points are shared by many in faithful circles, and they routinely come up as the destruction in the Church continues unabated. For example, for close to 20 years now, Church Militant has hammered on the insanity of the so-called seamless garment garbage proposed by homosexual Cdl. (now deceased) Joseph Bernardin of Chicago.
So, admittedly, it is refreshing to hear that the message has taken root. But on the political side of the house, Johnson says the pro-life movement doesn't have the stomach, right now anyway, to see the fight all the way through. They are too worried about people's opinions.
The pro-life movement also got caught flatfooted in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court Dobbs decision, which did kill Roe, but rejuvenated a listless and stunned abortion movement, which set about to lock down abortion as a legal right in state referendums around the country.
In response, Abby says not only do we have to have to keep pounding the drum, but it just might have to turn to blood in the streets. There are certainly massive challenges for the pro-life cause now that Roe is gone.
But it seems like too many pro-lifers were wearing rose-colored glasses as Roe sped to its demise and, once again, underestimated the tenacity and staying power and ability of the death merchants to quickly get up off the canvas and charge once again into the lead. Abby Johnson is definitely not one of those pro-lifers. She gets it.
She has no illusions that we are in a totally different kind of war than in the days of Roe. More in the pro-life movement had better wake up to that reality as well, in very short order. If you'd like to watch the entire interview with Abby Johnson, please click on the provided link.
