ABBY JOHNSON, FORMER  DIRECTOR OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD in College Station, TX, TO SPEAK AT BANQUET FOR PREGNANCY RESOURCE CENTER EAST

Pregnancy Resource Center East is anticipating a large turn-out at their annual banquet this year on November 1^st. Abby Johnson, former executive director of Planned Parenthood (College Station, TX), will be speaking on her experiences and updates on the pro-life movement.

Abby Johnson had been recruited at college as a volunteer for Planned Parenthood. The main reason she got involved was because she was told that she would be helping girls with unplanned pregnancies. Having been one herself, she wanted to be involved. As she volunteered there, eventually got hired and moved up the ladder into leadership position, she began to see what the organization was all about. She wanted to help reduce abortions and help girls by giving them contraceptives, but she was beginning to get pressure to push for more abortions.

When being asked to assist in an ultrasound-guided abortion, she had the shock of her life as she saw the live, moving baby being vacuumed out suddenly. She nearly dropped the probe with the thought, "what am I doing here? I am on the wrong side of the fence."

With the latest accusations toward Planned Parenthood and questions about what they are doing with the federal monies that they are receiving, Abby will be shedding light on what she had witnessed during her 8 years of service there.

The banquet for Pregnancy Resource Center East will be on November 1^st at the new Marriot Hotel on I 10. Call 281-427-2273 to purchase a table at $400 (10 seats), co-host a table at $225 (5 seats), or to purchase an individual seat ticket at $50.

There will be a silent auction before the banquet at 6pm to raise funds for the Pregnancy Resource Center East. PRCE is located at 3013 N Main St, Baytown.  Girls and women with unplanned pregnancies are helped at the Center with free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, parenting classes, counseling, abortion recovery, and Earn While You Learn Program.

The banquet will start at 7pm. Tickets are also sold on-line at www.prcebaytown.org
