Abby Johnson is speaking at the #RNC2020 tonight against reproductive freedom.
She also supports household voting. As in, one vote per household.
When asked what happens when spouses disagree, she said:
in a Godly household, the husband would get the final say.

One of the Republican National Conventions top speakers said in a recent video that it would be smart for a police officer to racially profile her biracial son, because statistically, my brown son is more likely to commit a violent offense over my white sons.
I recognize that Im gonna have to have a different conversation with Jude than I do with my brown-haired little Irish, very, very pale-skinned, white sons, as they grow up, Abby Johnson, a prominent anti-abortion activist, said in a 15-plus-minutes video posted to YouTube in late June, after weeks of nationwide protests against the police killing of George Floyd.
Right now, Jude is an adorable, perpetually tan-looking little brown boy, said Johnson, whose husband blogged, in 2015, about adopting their biracial son at his birth. Johnson is white. But one day, hes going to grow up and hes going to be a tall, probably sort of large, intimidating-looking-maybe brown man. And my other boys are probably gonna look like nerdy white guys.

(11,632 posts)Would he still get the final say? This is so stupid. My paternal great grandmother was protesting for the right to vote when my grandpa was a baby. A hundred years later and we're regressing.

And do unmarried children living with their fathers get a vote? So many questions- easier to go with one person, one vote

Personal life. Johnson revealed in January 2011 that she had two abortions herself before the birth of her daughter. She lives in Texas with her husband Doug and seven children.
Doug Johnson, husband of pro-life activist Abby Johnson and stay-at-home dad to their 8 children joins me on this episode of The Dignity of Women to share his side of the Unplanned story.
Unplanned is a 2019 American drama anti-abortion film written and directed by Cary Solomon and Chuck Konzelman. It is based on the disputed memoir Unplanned by Abby Johnson.
Although raised in a conservative family opposed to abortion, Johnson began volunteering for Planned Parenthood in 2001 after seeing their booth at a volunteer fair at her college.[5]
Identifying as "extremely pro-choice," Johnson worked at the Planned Parenthood clinic in Bryan, Texas for eight years, escorting women into the clinic from their cars and eventually working as director of the clinic.
She and her husband converted to Catholicism in 2012.
Johnson runs an anti-abortion ministry, And Then There Were None (ATTWN), which lobbies abortion-clinic workers to leave the industry and which provides money and counseling for those who do.
