Unplanned (Tyndale House Publishers) by former Planned Parenthood Clinic Director Abby Johnson has been spotlighted in a political debate on abortion. An excerpt from the book was read aloud on the U.S. House of Representatives floor Feb. 18 by Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.), who urged members to vote to defund Planned Parenthood. After hours of debate, the House voted 240-185 to block federal funding of the pro-abortion organization. Johnson's memoir shares her dramatic, controversial journey from pro-choice to pro-life in 2009. Released in January, Unplanned is now in its fourth printing, Tyndale officials said. |
