- Abby Johnson spent eight years

working for Planned Parenthood,

growing more uneasy with what she saw,

until she quit in 2009

and began to advocatefor life in the womb.

Today, she's the founder ofAnd Then There Were None,

a ministry focused on helpingabortion clinic workers

who want to leave.

And tonight she's speaking

at the Republican National Convention.

Abby, thanks for joining us.

- Of course, thanks for having me on.

- Well, I'm curious,

of course the Trumpcampaign could have chosen

any number of pro-lifespeakers for tonight,

why do you think that they chose you?

- Well, I think because I have, you know,

a very real lived experienceinside of Planned Parenthood

and, you know, our presidentwanted to highlight that.

He wanted to highlightwhat actually takes place

inside of abortion facilities,

particularly our country'slargest abortion provider,

Planned Parenthood,

and he wanted specificallyfor abortion to be exposed

for the barbaric practice that it is.

You know, he is pro-life

and he wants people to remember the unborn

whenever they go to thepolls this November.

- Now, when you are saying

all these things thatthe president wanted,

did the campaign ask you totalk about certain things?

What kind of collaborationdid you have with the campaign

on your speech?

- I did.

I spoke directly toTrump's head speech writer.

I also worked with variousspeech writers throughout,

you know, working up my remarks

and, you know, they had specific things

that they wanted me to reallytouch on, which was great,

because they wereactually all of the things

that I wanted to touch on as well.

So we worked well incollaboration with one another.

- Is there a particularaudience you have in mind

for your speech tonight,

or particular impact you're hoping for?

- You know, I'm really,honestly, I'm really hoping

that people who are sort of onthe fence about Donald Trump,

maybe people who areconsidering voting third party,

maybe who are just unsure,

I'm really hoping that theyare going to tune in tonight.

I'm really hoping thatthey are going to listen

to what I have to say.

That they will listen towhat is actually on the line,

that there are real lives,there are real children

who are going to be affectedby our vote in November,

and that they will vote for life first

when they go to the polls.

- Abby, the Trump Campaign has released

the president's second term goals,

right now they don'tinclude the fight for life.

I'm wondering, what is your take on that

and what are you hoping forif the president is reelected?

- That's very, very typical.

I can't think actually of any time

really in the past few campaigns

where a presidential campaignactually listed life issues

on a bullet pointed list.

So that's very, that's very typical.

I'm not too terribly concerned with that.

The president has put forward

an unprecedented numberof policies for the unborn

over the past four years,

he continues to make life a priority.

Every time he steps on the stage,

he's talking about theatrocities that take place

inside of the abortion industry.

He's made it very clear

that the unborn is a priority for him.

He's made that clear throughout the RNC,

by having a former PlannedParenthood director

step up on stage and exposeabortion for what it is.

So that's not concerning to me at all.

- All right, well Iapologize for cutting in.

We're looking forwardto your speech tonight.

Thank you, Abby Johnson.

- Thank you so much.
