UnPlanned is the just-released insider report by former Planned Parenthood leader Abby Johnson on what abortions do to the women who have them and the women who help perform them.
CHERYL POKED HER HEAD INTO MY OFFICE. “Abby, they need an extra person back in the exam room. Are you free?”
I looked up from my paperwork, surprised. “Sure.”
Though I’d been with Planned Parenthood for eight years, I had never been called into the exam room to help the medical team during an abortion, and I had no idea why I was needed now.
