Pro-life students at Georgetown University aren’t about to let Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards spread her propaganda on campus without a challenge and have arranged for Abby Johnson, former clinic director and “Planned Parenthood Employee of the Year” to speak on the same day.

Students for Life of America has announced that Johnson is now scheduled to speak on April 20, the same day as her former boss. Although Georgetown bills itself as a Catholic school, it is hosting the head of the largest abortion provider in the nation, whose views are in direct contradiction to the Catholic Church – which is why pro-life students decided to act.

And they are doing so in a big way. For instance, when Richards arrives on campus, she will see ample evidence of this vital counter message in an array of 3,600 white flags on the Copley Lawn near the Front Gate which marks the number of abortions each day in the United States.

Also front and center for all to see will be the “We Don’t Need Planned Parenthood" display that will be set up in the Red Square and on the Regents Lawn, which is outside the Lohrfink Auditorim where Cecile Richards will be speaking. This educational display uses large banners to call attention to Planned Parenthood’s lucrative abortion business, their acceptance of hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars a year, and the fact that there are other, more comprehensive health centers that provide everything and more that Planned Parenthood does except abortions. Abby Johnson will be at the display to answer questions as well.

Johnson is scheduled to speak at 7:30pm in the historic Dahlgren Chapel on campus.

“Abby Johnson has personal experience at Planned Parenthood, and will reveal what the organization is really all about. It is important students learn about Planned Parenthood's careless disregard for human life, and why Planned Parenthood is bad for women and children,” said Michael Khan, president of Georgetown Right to Life, an affiliate of the national pro-life youth organization Students for Life of America, and the group hosting Abby Johnson. “Amidst media bias and abortion defenders, Abby provides clarity to this debate and will offer a positive, life-affirming message of hope and love that defends the most defenseless.”

“Anytime Planned Parenthood shows up on a university campus to spread their anti-life propaganda, we should always hope for a strong, pro-life response,” said Abby Johnson, who currently runs a ministry for former abortion workers called And Then There Were None. “In this case, because a Catholic university has asked the president of the largest abortion corporation in our country to come and speak, we are more than happy to respond with life-affirming truth. If there was ever a time to take a stand against the abortion-promoting agenda of Planned Parenthood and their untruths, it is now. We must not allow them to infiltrate our Catholic institutions without resistance.”

Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America, agrees.

“Instead of educating students of the Catholic Church’s doctrine on the protection of life, they bring in the president of the nation’s largest abortion provider, who last summer was revealed to have been involved in the harvesting and selling of baby body parts,” Hawkins said  “We are so proud of Georgetown Right to Life for proactively doing what their university should have done in the first place and inviting a courageous and dynamic pro-life woman to speak to the truth about abortion and equip students to persuasively discuss the greatest human rights tragedy in modern times.”

Additionally, in conjunction with the Lecture Fund, the same group at Georgetown that is bringing Ms. Richards, Georgetown Right to Life is sponsoring a panel entitled “Life-Affirming Alternatives to Planned Parenthood” on Tuesday, April 19th at 6:15pm at the Copley Formal Lounge on campus. There will be a talk by Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Chair of the Select Investigative Panel on Planned Parenthood in the U.S. House of Representatives, who will address the audience and take questions. Afterward, a panel of pro-life healthcare experts, moderated by Dr. Jeanne Lord of Georgetown, will follow.

Now this is the kind of robust debate students need to hear!
