The anti-abortion group Susan B. Anthony List is targeting Planned Parenthood with a new television ad in which a former Planned Parenthood employee claims that the organization is concerned almost exclusively with making money from abortions, and not with providing health care to needy women.
“I learned that Planned Parenthood isn’t about women’s health at all,” the former employee, Abby Johnson, says in the video. “Their primary profit center and their entire corporate culture is about abortions.”
The ad, which comes as Congress continues to debate cutting off all federal funding for Planned Parenthood, touts Johnson’s eight years of experience as a clinic director for the organization. Johnson, whose website states that her “life was changed” the day she resigned, says in the video that she joined the organization to help provide health care, but quickly became disillusioned with their goals.
“My superiors actually instructed me to increase the number of abortions at my facility,” Johnson says in the video.
“It’s time America learned the truth about Planned Parenthood,” she adds.
