Planned Parenthood Director Turned Pro-Lifer is Given Cold-Shoulder at Her Church

From the Washington Times:
Her Oct. 6 decision to leave Planned Parenthood in Bryan, Texas – after viewing an ultrasound-guided abortion of a 13-week-old fetus two weeks earlier – made headlines, especially when she ended up volunteering at the Coalition for Life center a few doors away. Her former employer filed a restraining order to silence Mrs. Johnson, but a judge threw out the case on Tuesday.
Now she is facing a different kind of music at her parish, St. Francis Episcopal in nearby College Station, the home of Texas A&M University.
Whereas clergy and parishioners welcomed her as a Planned Parenthood employee, now they are buttonholing her after Sunday services.
“Now that I have taken this stand, some of the people there are not accepting of that,” she told The Washington Times. “People have told me they disagree with my choice. One of the things I’ve been told is that as Episcopalians, we embrace our differences and disagreements. While I agree with that, I am not sure I can go to a place where I don’t feel I am welcome.”
It’s bad enough that this church is pro-choice, a view which the early church universally rejected (and which, thankfully, the modern church largely rejects). What’s more disturbing is that members of this body actually think their view of the issue is superior to that of a former Planned Parenthood director. Have they watched the ultrasounds she watched? What do they actually know about what they are preaching? Not much, I would guess.

[...] Ex-Planned Parenthood Director given cold should at her church — how ironic that her pro-choice “church” doesn’t approve of her choice to quit PP and expose the truth about abortions. Maybe those folks should participate in an abortion and watch it on the ultrasound. [...]
November 14, 2009 @ 7:25 amThe Episcopal Church has been apostate for a very long time. She should find another place to worship ASAP.
November 14, 2009 @ 8:24 amShe can move to Illinois and we’d love to have her! Or She should just find her closes Catholic Church.
November 14, 2009 @ 10:00 amThank God for religion! It’s always there when you need it. How in the name of God could any church goer believe in abortion? I guess WWJD is out this year. If we were all barbarians we would have more compassion than any church. Why not become muslim so you can all enforece your beliefs on everyone. Bah
November 14, 2009 @ 8:50 pmPro-Choice is a baited phrase in church. I have a audio clip that recaps what the world was like at the time of Christ. The most relevant part begins at 1 minute.

On another note, I came here on a web award nomination rec and I plan on adding you to my recommended blog list.
