- 00:09:25,163 --> 00:09:27,329
- ABBY:
- I left campus that day as
- 164
- 00:09:27,329 --> 00:09:30,097
- a proud champion
- of women in crisis.
- 165
- 00:09:30,097 --> 00:09:33,295
- So why didn't I call my mom
- and tell her the good news?
- 166
- 00:09:33,295 --> 00:09:35,029
- - (protesters clamoring)
- - MAN: Murderer!
- 167
- 00:09:35,029 --> 00:09:37,396
- Murderer!
- 168
- 00:09:37,396 --> 00:09:39,761
- ABBY: Because I didn't think
- she'd understand
- 169
- 00:09:39,761 --> 00:09:42,829
- how the work I'd be doing
- wasn't going to
- 170
- 00:09:42,829 --> 00:09:46,661
- increase the number of
- abortions but decrease them.
- 171
- 00:09:46,661 --> 00:09:49,095
- How's this for
- a brilliant insight:
- 172
- 00:09:49,095 --> 00:09:50,795
- Never trust a decision
- 173
- 00:09:50,795 --> 00:09:53,055
- you don't want
- your mom to know about.
- 174
- 00:09:57,228 --> 00:10:00,127
- Hmm. Just keep staring at me.
- 175
- 00:10:00,127 --> 00:10:01,294
- (sighs) It's okay.
- 176
- 00:10:01,294 --> 00:10:03,027
- You're just here
- to check it out,
- 177
- 00:10:03,027 --> 00:10:05,428
- and if you don't like it,
- you don't have to stay.
- 178
- 00:10:05,428 --> 00:10:08,727
- (protestors continue clamoring)
- 179
- 00:10:08,727 --> 00:10:10,893
- - Hi. Are you Abby?
- - I am.
- 180
- 00:10:10,893 --> 00:10:12,726
- - Hi. I'm Summer.
- - Summer, nice to meet you.
- 181
- 00:10:12,726 --> 00:10:14,727
- Nice to meet you, too.
- Here, put this on
- 182
- 00:10:14,727 --> 00:10:16,060
- so everyone knows
- you're with the clinic.
- 183
- 00:10:16,060 --> 00:10:17,389
- I'll hold this for you.
- 184
- 00:10:20,192 --> 00:10:22,726
- So, really, is this normal?
- 185
- 00:10:22,726 --> 00:10:24,660
- Just ignore them.
- 186
- 00:10:24,660 --> 00:10:27,659
- When a client shows up, we head
- for the car immediately,
- 187
- 00:10:27,659 --> 00:10:30,293
- so there's someone waiting
- when she opens her door.
- 188
- 00:10:30,293 --> 00:10:32,424
- When she opens it,
- start talking right away.
- 189
- 00:10:32,424 --> 00:10:33,958
- - About what?
- - Anything.
- 190
- 00:10:33,958 --> 00:10:35,825
- The weather,
- her car, her clothes.
- 191
- 00:10:35,825 --> 00:10:37,792
- Anything to distract her from
- the voices through the fence.
- 192
- 00:10:37,792 --> 00:10:39,124
- They're gonna be harassing her.
- 193
- 00:10:39,124 --> 00:10:41,224
- You need to make sure your
- voice is the one she hears.
- 194
- 00:10:41,224 --> 00:10:42,658
- I'll go with you
- the first few times
- 195
- 00:10:42,658 --> 00:10:44,225
- to make sure you get
- the hang of it, okay?
- 196
- 00:10:44,225 --> 00:10:46,057
- - Okay.
- - Okay.
- 197
- 00:10:46,057 --> 00:10:48,157
- We've still got a few minutes
- before our first arrival.
- 198
- 00:10:48,157 --> 00:10:49,725
- Let's introduce you to Cheryl.
- 199
- 00:10:49,725 --> 00:10:52,956
- The access code is 2-2-2-9.
- 200
- 00:10:52,956 --> 00:10:54,824
- Uh, I'm awful
- at remembering those.
- 201
- 00:10:54,824 --> 00:10:58,255
- - Oh, it's easy. It spells
- "baby." - (door buzzes)
- 202
- 00:10:58,255 --> 00:11:01,256
- - Make sure to xerox
- the first two and file. - Okay.
- 203
- 00:11:01,256 --> 00:11:02,957
- Excuse me. Cheryl?
- This is Abby.
- 204
- 00:11:02,957 --> 00:11:04,688
- She's our newest
- volunteer escort.
- 205
- 00:11:04,688 --> 00:11:06,823
- Abby, this is Cheryl
- D'Alessandro, clinic director.
- 206
- 00:11:06,823 --> 00:11:08,923
- - Welcome. Nice to meet you.
- - You, too.
- 207
- 00:11:08,923 --> 00:11:10,990
- - Let me take this for you.
- - Thank you.
- 208
- 00:11:10,990 --> 00:11:13,189
- Samantha? Here, come here.
- 209
- 00:11:13,189 --> 00:11:15,189
- - Put that in a locker for me,
- if you would. - Okay.
- 210
- 00:11:15,189 --> 00:11:17,223
- Summer, why don't you keep
- an eye on the parking lot.
- 211
- 00:11:17,223 --> 00:11:19,421
- - Sure thing.
- - Okay.
- 212
- 00:11:19,421 --> 00:11:21,055
- Why do they all think
- 213
- 00:11:21,055 --> 00:11:23,723
- that the women coming in
- are having abortions?
- 214
- 00:11:23,723 --> 00:11:25,721
- Uh, you do offer
- other services, right?
- 215
- 00:11:25,721 --> 00:11:27,421
- Not on Saturday.
- 216
- 00:11:27,421 --> 00:11:30,820
- On Saturdays, we only do
- abortions, and they know that.
- 217
- 00:11:30,820 --> 00:11:32,987
- Especially
- the Coalition for Life.
- 218
- 00:11:32,987 --> 00:11:34,987
- - They're like vultures.
- - (chuckles softly)
- 219
- 00:11:34,987 --> 00:11:36,254
- Their office is
- right up the street,
- 220
- 00:11:36,254 --> 00:11:38,187
- and their whole purpose
- is to turn the community
- 221
- 00:11:38,187 --> 00:11:40,120
- against us
- and to try to shut us down.
- 222
- 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,021
- Here we go. First client.
- 223
- 00:11:42,021 --> 00:11:44,353
- - Go ahead.
- - Make sure to keep her moving.
- 224
- 00:11:44,353 --> 00:11:45,720
- - MAN: Hey, princess.
- - (protestors clamoring)
- 225
- 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,020
- Does Daddy know
- that you're here?
- 226
- 00:11:47,020 --> 00:11:49,253
- Yeah, yeah. Does he know
- that you're killing
- 227
- 00:11:49,253 --> 00:11:51,086
- his little grandbabies
- right now?
- 228
- 00:11:51,086 --> 00:11:52,753
- Oh, here they come.
- Hi, Twinkies. How you doing?
- 229
- 00:11:52,753 --> 00:11:55,087
- - Hey. Yeah, ignore me.
- - Hi there.
- 230
- 00:11:55,087 --> 00:11:57,285
- Starting to warm up, isn't it?
- I love the color of your shirt.
- 231
- 00:11:57,285 --> 00:11:59,919
- MAN: No matter what good things
- you do in your life,
- 232
- 00:11:59,919 --> 00:12:01,986
- you're still gonna be
- a baby killer!
- 233
- 00:12:01,986 --> 00:12:03,984
- All right. Look at me
- and keep walking.
- 234
- 00:12:03,984 --> 00:12:07,119
- And all this because you
- couldn't keep your legs closed!
- 235
- 00:12:07,119 --> 00:12:08,353
- Keep walking, basic!
- 236
- 00:12:08,353 --> 00:12:10,017
- I'm talking to
- the baby killer, not you!
- 237
- 00:12:10,017 --> 00:12:12,352
- SUMMER: Abby, can you get
- the door for her?
- 238
- 00:12:12,352 --> 00:12:13,984
- Hey, you don't have to do this!
- 239
- 00:12:13,984 --> 00:12:16,019
- Hey, get back here!
- I'm talking to you!
- 240
- 00:12:16,019 --> 00:12:18,784
- Okay, she's gonna take care
- of you now, all right?
- 241
- 00:12:18,784 --> 00:12:20,151
- - Thank you.
- - Okay.
- 242
- 00:12:20,151 --> 00:12:22,952
- I need you
- to sign in here for me.
- 243
- 00:12:22,952 --> 00:12:24,250
- Okay.
- 244
- 00:12:24,250 --> 00:12:27,284
- The time now is 8:42.
- 245
- 00:12:27,284 --> 00:12:29,251
- (man shouts)
- 246
- 00:12:31,950 --> 00:12:35,184
- Okay. Your turn.
- 247
- 00:12:35,184 --> 00:12:37,649
- WOMAN: Hi. I'm here from
- the Coalition for Life.
- 248
- 00:12:37,649 --> 00:12:40,883
- We know this is
- a really hard day for you.
- 249
- 00:12:40,883 --> 00:12:42,948
- We're here because
- we care about you.
- 250
- 00:12:42,948 --> 00:12:45,449
- Hi. Good morning.
- How are you?
- 251
- 00:12:45,449 --> 00:12:46,782
- - Good.
- - Nice weather, right?
- 252
- 00:12:46,782 --> 00:12:48,817
- - Yeah.
- - Don't mind them.
- 253
- 00:12:48,817 --> 00:12:51,015
- WOMAN: Your little baby
- already has a beating heart,
- 254
- 00:12:51,015 --> 00:12:53,782
- and she loves you
- with all of it.
- 255
- 00:12:53,782 --> 00:12:57,838
- What you're doing right now
- doesn't seem like caring to me.
- 256
- 00:12:59,716 --> 00:13:01,882
- I'm sorry. Come on.
- 257
- 00:13:01,882 --> 00:13:04,781
- (sighs) We'll just get you
- inside, okay?
- 258
- 00:13:04,781 --> 00:13:07,349
- Just walk through that door.
- 259
- 00:13:07,349 --> 00:13:09,146
- They don't understand.
- 260
- 00:13:09,146 --> 00:13:11,448
- - Hey. My name's Marilisa.
- - (door buzzes in distance)
- 261
- 00:13:11,448 --> 00:13:13,147
- I'm with
- the Coalition for Life,
- 262
- 00:13:13,147 --> 00:13:15,015
- and we just wanted
- to let you know
- 263
- 00:13:15,015 --> 00:13:18,014
- that we have other options
- for you if you're interested
- 264
- 00:13:18,014 --> 00:13:19,680
- or if you want to talk.
- 265
- 00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:21,114
- Damn it! They got one.
- 266
- 00:13:21,114 --> 00:13:23,113
- I just wish they'd leave
- these poor women alone.
- 267
- 00:13:23,113 --> 00:13:24,738
- MARILISA:
- ...feel safe and comfortable.
- 268
- 00:13:26,013 --> 00:13:27,780
- - Elena, turn on the sprinklers.
- - Come on.
- 269
- 00:13:27,780 --> 00:13:30,979
- Renee, call the police
- and report a disturbance.
- 270
- 00:13:30,979 --> 00:13:33,813
- Okay. But the last time
- we did that,
- 271
- 00:13:33,813 --> 00:13:35,845
- the cops weren't super thrilled
- when they showed up
- 272
- 00:13:35,845 --> 00:13:37,346
- and nobody was doing
- anything illegal.
- 273
- 00:13:37,346 --> 00:13:40,608
- The number you're trying
- to remember is 911.
- 274
- 00:13:42,678 --> 00:13:45,076
- Okay. Yep. Yeah. Okay.
- 275
- 00:13:46,912 --> 00:13:49,911
- (people shouting, screaming)
- 276
- 00:13:49,911 --> 00:13:52,645
- MAN:
- Get the baby!
- 277
- 00:13:52,645 --> 00:13:54,776
- ABBY:
- When my shift was over,
- 278
- 00:13:54,776 --> 00:13:58,178
- I couldn't wait
- to get out of there.
- 279
- 00:13:58,178 --> 00:14:01,843
- Hey. I don't think
- I've seen you here before.
- 280
- 00:14:01,843 --> 00:14:03,744
- No, it's my first day.
- 281
- 00:14:03,744 --> 00:14:05,711
- Can you tell me
- why you're volunteering?
- 282
- 00:14:05,711 --> 00:14:08,042
- (sighs)
- 283
- 00:14:08,042 --> 00:14:10,043
- I don't know
- if I'm coming back,
- 284
- 00:14:10,043 --> 00:14:11,711
- so I'm just checking it out.
- 285
- 00:14:11,711 --> 00:14:14,278
- Can I ask your name?
- 286
- 00:14:14,278 --> 00:14:15,909
- Abby.
- 287
- 00:14:15,909 --> 00:14:17,776
- - Abby.
- - Mm-hmm.
- 288
- 00:14:17,776 --> 00:14:20,675
- Abby, you do know that they
- perform abortions here, right?
- 289
- 00:14:25,076 --> 00:14:28,442
- You know, actually,
- I've had an abortion myself.
- 290
- 00:14:28,442 --> 00:14:30,675
- So I don't have any problem
- with another woman
- 291
- 00:14:30,675 --> 00:14:31,875
- making the same decision.
- 292
- 00:14:31,875 --> 00:14:33,209
- I'm so sorry
- you had to go through that.
- 293
- 00:14:33,209 --> 00:14:35,075
- No, it's okay. Really.
- 294
- 00:14:35,075 --> 00:14:37,208
- It was my decision.
- No one forced me to do it.
- 295
- 00:14:37,208 --> 00:14:39,842
- Well, if you ever want to talk
- to anyone about anything...
- 296
- 00:14:39,842 --> 00:14:42,641
- God, do you people ever stop?
- 297
- 00:14:42,641 --> 00:14:45,241
- These women are hurting.
- Why are you doing this to them?
- 298
- 00:14:45,241 --> 00:14:47,673
- We're not here to hurt them
- or condemn them.
- 299
- 00:14:47,673 --> 00:14:48,940
- We're here to help them.
- 300
- 00:14:48,940 --> 00:14:50,641
- By dressing up in costumes
- 301
- 00:14:50,641 --> 00:14:52,407
- and showing them horrible
- pictures to scare them?
- 302
- 00:14:52,407 --> 00:14:55,139
- In what world would a woman
- run to someone dressed like
- 303
- 00:14:55,139 --> 00:14:59,240
- the Grim Reaper for help
- with her crisis pregnancy?
- 304
- 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,106
- I am with the Coalition
- for Life, and they're not.
- 305
- 00:15:02,106 --> 00:15:04,640
- So we can ask them to stop,
- and we do.
- 306
- 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,105
- But we can't force them
- to do anything.
- 307
- 00:15:07,105 --> 00:15:11,273
- So for what it's worth,
- I think you're right, Abby.
- 308
- 00:15:11,273 --> 00:15:12,773
- Doesn't help.
- 309
- 00:15:12,773 --> 00:15:14,705
- Marilisa, leave her alone.
- 310
- 00:15:14,705 --> 00:15:16,672
- Abby, get in your car.
- 311
- 00:15:22,771 --> 00:15:24,738
- (engine starts)
- 312
- 00:15:28,004 --> 00:15:29,905
- ABBY:
- Looking back, I'm surprised
- 313
- 00:15:29,905 --> 00:15:33,003
- I admitted my having had
- an abortion to Marilisa.
- 314
- 00:15:33,003 --> 00:15:35,837
- I'd never told that to anyone.
- 315
- 00:15:35,837 --> 00:15:39,271
- Meaning I probably ought to
- take a moment to explain.
- 316
- 00:15:41,970 --> 00:15:45,304
- In college, I'd gone from
- small-town super achiever
- 317
- 00:15:45,304 --> 00:15:48,103
- to party girl in no time.
- 318
- 00:15:48,103 --> 00:15:52,004
- Literally, from the moment
- my parents dropped me off.
- 319
- 00:15:52,004 --> 00:15:54,369
- Mark lived in my building,
- 320
- 00:15:54,369 --> 00:15:56,270
- and was ten years
- older than me.
- 321
- 00:15:56,270 --> 00:15:58,170
- We started dating...
- 322
- 00:15:58,170 --> 00:16:00,668
- nothing serious,
- 323
- 00:16:00,668 --> 00:16:04,624
- until the day I saw two lines
- on my pregnancy test kit.
- 324
- 00:16:10,202 --> 00:16:13,335
- Hey. It's all right.
- It's all right.
- 325
- 00:16:13,335 --> 00:16:15,858
- We'll take you to a clinic
- and take care of it.
- 326
- 00:16:16,868 --> 00:16:18,302
- What do you mean?
- 327
- 00:16:18,302 --> 00:16:20,767
- I know a place, in Houston.
- 328
- 00:16:20,767 --> 00:16:23,325
- How do you know a place
- in Houston?
- 329
- 00:16:27,067 --> 00:16:30,001
- ABBY: Naturally,
- Mark didn't have the $500
- 330
- 00:16:30,001 --> 00:16:32,099
- it would take to "get it done."
- 331
- 00:16:32,099 --> 00:16:33,433
- Neither did I.
- 332
- 00:16:33,433 --> 00:16:36,233
- So I applied for
- my very first credit card.
- 333
- 00:16:36,233 --> 00:16:38,865
- I kept thinking,
- 334
- 00:16:38,865 --> 00:16:42,000
- "I can't tell my parents
- about this.
- 335
- 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,233
- "They can't know
- I'm having sex.
- 336
- 00:16:44,233 --> 00:16:47,199
- They can't know I'm pregnant."
- 337
- 00:16:47,199 --> 00:16:49,933
- I remember there was
- no one outside,
- 338
- 00:16:49,933 --> 00:16:52,732
- but the waiting room
- was packed.
- 339
- 00:16:52,732 --> 00:16:54,198
- (tires screech)
- 340
- 00:16:54,198 --> 00:16:56,865
- My next clear memory
- was of finding myself
- 341
- 00:16:56,865 --> 00:16:59,098
- lying on a table,
- feet in stirrups,
- 342
- 00:16:59,098 --> 00:17:02,065
- with a painful pressure
- building in my abdomen.
- 343
- 00:17:02,065 --> 00:17:04,166
- - (groans)
- - I could hear myself groaning,
- 344
- 00:17:04,166 --> 00:17:06,064
- but it sounded distant.
- 345
- 00:17:06,064 --> 00:17:08,724
- You're fine, honey.
- Just relax.
- 346
- 00:17:10,765 --> 00:17:13,331
- ABBY: I remember waking up
- slumped forward,
- 347
- 00:17:13,331 --> 00:17:16,265
- sitting in
- a hard plastic chair.
- 348
- 00:17:16,265 --> 00:17:18,997
- My chair was one in a line
- 349
- 00:17:18,997 --> 00:17:22,030
- filled by the girls who'd been
- in the waiting room with me.
- 350
- 00:17:22,030 --> 00:17:24,098
- Some were staring at the floor.
- 351
- 00:17:24,098 --> 00:17:25,896
- Some were rocking
- with their arms
- 352
- 00:17:25,896 --> 00:17:27,930
- wrapped around their bellies.
- 353
- 00:17:27,930 --> 00:17:30,631
- Some were softly crying.
- 354
- 00:17:30,631 --> 00:17:32,891
- I was handed a few crackers.
- 355
- 00:17:35,697 --> 00:17:38,429
- I slammed the experience
- into a box, nailed it shut,
- 356
- 00:17:38,429 --> 00:17:40,429
- stashed it in a dark corner
- of my soul,
- 357
- 00:17:40,429 --> 00:17:42,191
- and pretended
- it never happened.
- 358
- 00:17:44,227 --> 00:17:48,295
- But I wasn't finished
- making bad decisions yet.
- 359
- 00:17:48,295 --> 00:17:50,363
- Abby, it's not too late
- to stop this.
- 360
- 00:17:50,363 --> 00:17:52,695
- I'll go grab the car,
- you slip out that door,
- 361
- 00:17:52,695 --> 00:17:54,262
- and we will drive away.
- 362
- 00:17:54,262 --> 00:17:56,329
- I can't do that to my parents.
- 363
- 00:17:56,329 --> 00:17:58,727
- - Abby, your parents
- would be thrilled. - (scoffs)
- 364
- 00:17:58,727 --> 00:18:02,062
- (Mendelssohn's
- "Wedding March" playing)
- 365
- 00:18:02,062 --> 00:18:04,026
- (music continues over speakers)
- 366
- 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,261
- (quietly):
- Smile, Daddy.
- 367
- 00:18:16,261 --> 00:18:18,826
- I'm trying.
- 368
- 00:18:18,826 --> 00:18:20,360
- ABBY:
- To call our marriage a fiasco
- 369
- 00:18:20,360 --> 00:18:22,760
- would be an insult
- to fiascoes.
- 370
- 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,025
- The last straw was a year later
- on Valentine's Day.
- 371
- 00:18:25,025 --> 00:18:27,225
- - (sportscast playing on TV)
- - Mark decided we'd celebrate
- 372
- 00:18:27,225 --> 00:18:28,959
- by making sandwiches.
- 373
- 00:18:28,959 --> 00:18:31,391
- But later that night,
- after we'd gone to bed,
- 374
- 00:18:31,391 --> 00:18:34,826
- he slipped out of the apartment
- to be with another woman.
- 375
- 00:18:34,826 --> 00:18:37,325
- I filed for divorce
- the next day,
- 376
- 00:18:37,325 --> 00:18:41,159
- anxious to be free of this man,
- feeling like I already was,
- 377
- 00:18:41,159 --> 00:18:43,624
- until a few weeks later...
- 378
- 00:18:43,624 --> 00:18:45,091
- (whispers):
- Not again.
- 379
- 00:18:45,091 --> 00:18:47,325
- ABBY:
- Panic and grief overwhelmed me.
- 380
- 00:18:47,325 --> 00:18:50,956
- I didn't want to be connected
- to this man in any way.
- 381
- 00:18:50,956 --> 00:18:52,857
- - (sighs) -And if I were
- to have his child,
- 382
- 00:18:52,857 --> 00:18:56,289
- I'd be connected to him
- for the rest of my life.
- 383
- 00:18:56,289 --> 00:19:00,691
- So my next visit to the clinic
- wasn't as a volunteer escort
- 384
- 00:19:00,691 --> 00:19:03,122
- but as a client.
- 385
- 00:19:03,122 --> 00:19:05,189
- I never saw
- the ultrasound image.
- 386
- 00:19:05,189 --> 00:19:09,121
- But the nurse practitioner told
- me I was eight weeks along,
- 387
- 00:19:09,121 --> 00:19:12,323
- which made me eligible for
- a chemically induced abortion,
- 388
- 00:19:12,323 --> 00:19:15,821
- better known as
- the RU-486 abortion pill.
- 389
- 00:19:15,821 --> 00:19:18,422
- The cutoff was nine weeks.
- 390
- 00:19:18,422 --> 00:19:20,690
- It seemed more private,
- 391
- 00:19:20,690 --> 00:19:24,655
- less invasive, more natural.
- 392
- 00:19:24,655 --> 00:19:28,389
- So I handed over $400
- and took the first pill.
- 393
- 00:19:28,389 --> 00:19:30,788
- RENEE:
- Tomorrow, whenever you're ready,
- 394
- 00:19:30,788 --> 00:19:33,221
- you're gonna take the four
- pills in this little brown bag.
- 395
- 00:19:33,221 --> 00:19:34,822
- That's misoprostol.
- 396
- 00:19:34,822 --> 00:19:36,787
- It's gonna just gently
- empty out your uterus.
- 397
- 00:19:36,787 --> 00:19:38,654
- And there's gonna be
- a little bleeding,
- 398
- 00:19:38,654 --> 00:19:40,721
- but nothing more than
- like a heavy period.
- 399
- 00:19:40,721 --> 00:19:42,153
- And, uh, if there's
- any cramping,
- 400
- 00:19:42,153 --> 00:19:43,642

- I ate a light lunch and took
- the pills inside my brown bag.
- 406

- At that point, the fetus
- could live outside the womb.

- survive on its own.

- Are you saying that the measure

- changes as
- medical science advances?
- 480
- 00:24:23,136 --> 00:24:25,334

- I'm not going to apologize
- 481
- 00:24:25,334 --> 00:24:28,335
- for doing a job
- that helps women in crisis.
- 482
- 00:24:28,335 --> 00:24:31,700
- I love my job.
- I am committed to doing it.
- 483
- 00:24:31,700 --> 00:24:33,900
- It is who I am.
- 484
- 00:24:33,900 --> 00:24:37,033
- It is part of
- what makes me me.
- 485
- 00:24:37,033 --> 00:24:38,700
- Take it or leave it.
- 486
- 00:24:38,700 --> 00:24:40,600
- Fair warning, Doug.
- 487
- 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,098
- Dr. Dobson's book
- The Strong-Willed Child
- 488
- 00:24:43,098 --> 00:24:46,099
- was one of the first books
- I ever bought.
- 489
- 00:24:46,099 --> 00:24:47,300
- I still own it.
- 490
- 00:24:47,300 --> 00:24:48,867
- All right,
- who's up for dessert?
- 491
- 00:24:48,867 --> 00:24:50,831
- Abby, sweetie,
- why don't you help me?
- 492
- 00:24:52,899 --> 00:24:54,593
- Thank you.
- 493
- 00:25:01,166 --> 00:25:03,398
- You won't believe
- what happened this week.
- 494
- 00:25:03,398 --> 00:25:05,398
- A woman came in
- with abdominal pain,
- 495
- 00:25:05,398 --> 00:25:06,898
- and when we examined her,
- 496
- 00:25:06,898 --> 00:25:09,830
- we discovered
- it was uterine cancer.
- 497
- 00:25:09,830 --> 00:25:12,898
- That's nice.
- 498
- 00:25:12,898 --> 00:25:15,265
- You don't even care.
- 499
- 00:25:15,265 --> 00:25:16,630
- More than you realize,
- sweetie.
- 500
- 00:25:16,630 --> 00:25:18,619
- Will you take these out
- to the table for me, please?
- 501
- 00:25:20,798 --> 00:25:22,762
- (sighs)
- 502
- 00:25:25,063 --> 00:25:26,830
- Okay.
- 503
- 00:25:26,830 --> 00:25:30,591
- Right now, I need you to listen
- to me and not say anything.
- 504
- 00:25:32,063 --> 00:25:35,131
- I know you don't agree,
- but to your dad and me,
- 505
- 00:25:35,131 --> 00:25:38,362
- you were our baby
- from the moment of conception.
- 506
- 00:25:38,362 --> 00:25:41,761
- I know it's not how you feel,
- but it's how we feel.
- 507
- 00:25:43,395 --> 00:25:45,862
- You don't like
- where she's working?
- 508
- 00:25:45,862 --> 00:25:49,295
- I can't stand it.
- 509
- 00:25:49,295 --> 00:25:51,328
- But you still
- want to marry her?
- 510
- 00:25:51,328 --> 00:25:52,726
- Oh, absolutely.
- 511
- 00:25:54,129 --> 00:25:56,761
- - Well, ain't love grand?
- - (chuckles)
- 512
- 00:25:56,761 --> 00:25:59,962
- (Mendelssohn's
- "Wedding March" playing)
- 513
- 00:25:59,962 --> 00:26:01,926
- (music continues over speakers)
- 514
- 00:26:08,893 --> 00:26:11,861
- (quietly): You're not supposed
- to look happier than I do.
- 515
- 00:26:11,861 --> 00:26:15,192
- Why not?
- You got it right this time.
- 516
- 00:26:15,192 --> 00:26:18,193
- ABBY: So there I was,
- making my vows again.
- 517
- 00:26:18,193 --> 00:26:21,325
- Who gives this woman today
- to be married to this man?
- 518
- 00:26:21,325 --> 00:26:22,859
- MIKE:
- Her mother and I.
- 519
- 00:26:22,859 --> 00:26:25,059
- ABBY:
- This time with a guy
- 520
- 00:26:25,059 --> 00:26:27,185
- who actually loved me.
- 521
- 00:26:31,825 --> 00:26:33,926
- MARILISA: We do have other days
- that you can volunteer
- 522
- 00:26:33,926 --> 00:26:35,358
- or other shifts
- if this isn't one
- 523
- 00:26:35,358 --> 00:26:36,792
- that works out for you, but...
- 524
- 00:26:36,792 --> 00:26:38,758
- Just one second. Hold on.
- 525
- 00:26:40,293 --> 00:26:41,958
- Abby.
- 526
- 00:26:41,958 --> 00:26:45,292
- Hi, Marilisa.
- Any sign of the Grim Reaper?
- 527
- 00:26:45,292 --> 00:26:47,292
- - No, thankfully.
- - Mm.
- 528
- 00:26:47,292 --> 00:26:48,990
- You look really nice today.
- 529
- 00:26:48,990 --> 00:26:50,357
- Well, thank you.
- 530
- 00:26:50,357 --> 00:26:52,292
- I am the new counselor.
- 531
- 00:26:52,292 --> 00:26:54,290
- Well, I am sure
- you are going to be
- 532
- 00:26:54,290 --> 00:26:56,057
- the best counselor
- they have ever had.
- 533
- 00:26:56,057 --> 00:26:57,990
- Friend?
- 534
- 00:26:57,990 --> 00:27:00,158
- - Fiancé.
- - Oh. (laughs)
- 535
- 00:27:00,158 --> 00:27:02,390
- Yeah. She makes me come here.
- 536
- 00:27:02,390 --> 00:27:04,990
- Liar. He was out here
- praying most Saturdays.
- 537
- 00:27:04,990 --> 00:27:07,889
- All he did was change it
- to every Saturday.
- 538
- 00:27:07,889 --> 00:27:10,590
- Well, congratulations, you two.
- 539
- 00:27:10,590 --> 00:27:12,057
- I wish you every happiness.
- 540
- 00:27:12,057 --> 00:27:13,782
- Thanks, Abby.
- 541
- 00:27:16,889 --> 00:27:18,223
- ABBY:
- At this stage,
- 542
- 00:27:18,223 --> 00:27:19,690
- between six and eight weeks,
- 543
- 00:27:19,690 --> 00:27:21,588
- it's just fetal matter,
- a lump of tissue,
- 544
- 00:27:21,588 --> 00:27:24,389
- not much more than a polyp
- or a blood clot.
- 545
- 00:27:24,389 --> 00:27:27,655
- - So it's not a baby yet?
- - No, not at all.
- 546
- 00:27:27,655 --> 00:27:30,788
- - And it can't feel any pain?
- - None whatsoever.
- 547
- 00:27:30,788 --> 00:27:32,922
- That's a concern
- for a lot of women.
- 548
- 00:27:32,922 --> 00:27:35,254
- And to be honest,
- it was a concern for me, too.
- 549
- 00:27:35,254 --> 00:27:38,222
- But the one thing
- that all experts agree on
- 550
- 00:27:38,222 --> 00:27:41,186
- is that, at this stage,
- the fetus can't feel anything.
- 551
- 00:27:44,154 --> 00:27:46,953
- - There's still a part of me
- that isn't sure. - I know.
- 552
- 00:27:46,953 --> 00:27:48,220
- Trust me.
- 553
- 00:27:48,220 --> 00:27:51,254
- Nobody wants
- to have an abortion.
- 554
- 00:27:51,254 --> 00:27:55,686
- Not like they want a new car
- or an ice-cream cone.
- 555
- 00:27:55,686 --> 00:27:59,221
- But most of the women
- who sit in that chair
- 556
- 00:27:59,221 --> 00:28:01,386
- already know
- that this is a pregnancy
- 557
- 00:28:01,386 --> 00:28:03,352
- they aren't prepared
- to deal with.
- 558
- 00:28:03,352 --> 00:28:05,820
- It just takes a little time
- to realize it.
- 559
- 00:28:05,820 --> 00:28:07,818
- (sniffles softly)
- 560
- 00:28:07,818 --> 00:28:10,085
- Assuming that you want
- to go forward,
- 561
- 00:28:10,085 --> 00:28:12,584
- the procedure we'll be
- performing is called a vacuum...
- 562
- 00:28:12,584 --> 00:28:14,285
- ABBY: About that time,
- Doug and I decided
- 563
- 00:28:14,285 --> 00:28:16,985
- that we wanted to make worship
- a part of our lives.
- 564
- 00:28:16,985 --> 00:28:19,784
- We found a church
- that seemed to be a good fit.
- 565
- 00:28:19,784 --> 00:28:23,151
- But most Sunday mornings, I
- just felt left out in the cold.
- 566
- 00:28:23,151 --> 00:28:25,783
- "For You created
- my innermost being.
- 567
- 00:28:25,783 --> 00:28:28,150
- "You knit me together
- in my mother's womb.
- 568
- 00:28:28,150 --> 00:28:30,151
- "I praise You because
- I am fearfully
- 569
- 00:28:30,151 --> 00:28:31,885
- "and wonderfully made.
- 570
- 00:28:31,885 --> 00:28:35,784
- All Your works are wonderful,
- and I know them full well."
- 571
- 00:28:35,784 --> 00:28:38,849
- What's awesome about
- this passage is that we see
- 572
- 00:28:38,849 --> 00:28:41,349
- that in-in the silence
- of the womb,
- 573
- 00:28:41,349 --> 00:28:45,051
- God is still forming
- and fashioning people
- 574
- 00:28:45,051 --> 00:28:47,683
- in His image
- and in His likeness.
- 575
- 00:28:47,683 --> 00:28:50,050
- - Yeah.
- - I know exactly how you feel.
- 576
- 00:28:50,050 --> 00:28:51,714
- I mean, I'm Catholic,
- 577
- 00:28:51,714 --> 00:28:53,915
- and, on Sunday, I heard
- a sermon about abortion.
- 578
- 00:28:53,915 --> 00:28:56,850
- (scoffs) I don't care
- what anyone says.
- 579
- 00:28:56,850 --> 00:28:58,780
- I know that I'm doing
- God's work here.
- 580
- 00:29:00,615 --> 00:29:02,149
- Well, you guys will never guess
- 581
- 00:29:02,149 --> 00:29:04,082
- who knocked on my door
- last night.
- 582
- 00:29:04,082 --> 00:29:06,814
- - Who?
- - (laughs): Shawn Carney.
- 583
- 00:29:06,814 --> 00:29:08,814
- - Shut up.
- - Wait, wait, wait.
- 584
- 00:29:08,814 --> 00:29:10,215
- Sheriff Woody at the fence?
- 585
- 00:29:10,215 --> 00:29:11,249
- - That Shawn Carney?
- - RENEE: Yeah. Oh, yeah.
- 586
- 00:29:11,249 --> 00:29:13,247
- - What did he want?
- - Oh, it was so weird.
- 587
- 00:29:13,247 --> 00:29:16,081
- I open the door,
- and I recognize him.
- 588
- 00:29:16,081 --> 00:29:17,215
- I'm like, "I know who you are."
- 589
- 00:29:17,215 --> 00:29:20,613
- And he recognizes me, too,
- and he gets all bashful.
- 590
- 00:29:20,613 --> 00:29:22,247
- And he's like,
- "Well, we're-we're just doing
- 591
- 00:29:22,247 --> 00:29:23,981
- "this, uh, simple campaign.
- 592
- 00:29:23,981 --> 00:29:25,380
- - (laughs) -"We're trying
- to get people to pray
- 593
- 00:29:25,380 --> 00:29:27,980
- for an end to abortion
- for the next, like, 40 days."
- 594
- 00:29:27,980 --> 00:29:30,314
- And I said, "40 days? Like
- Noah and the flood 40 days?"
- 595
- 00:29:30,314 --> 00:29:32,279
- - Stop! - No!
- - I did.
- 596
- 00:29:32,279 --> 00:29:34,146
- - I know. And he's like...
- - You are horrible.
- 597
- 00:29:34,146 --> 00:29:35,780
- Oh, you would've said the same.
- 598
- 00:29:35,780 --> 00:29:37,314
- - I... You would've
- said the same. - (laughter)
- 599
- 00:29:37,314 --> 00:29:39,279
- - Okay, hold on,
- hold on, hold on. - Yeah?
- 600
- 00:29:39,279 --> 00:29:40,879
- How many doors
- is he knocking on?
- 601
- 00:29:40,879 --> 00:29:44,144
- Try and guess. You can't.
- 25,000.
- 602
- 00:29:44,144 --> 00:29:46,212
- - Where?
- - Yeah. Everywhere.
- 603
- 00:29:46,212 --> 00:29:47,979
- Everywhere.
- 604
- 00:29:47,979 --> 00:29:49,979
- - How is that even possible?
- - What does that even mean?
- 605
- 00:29:49,979 --> 00:29:51,578
- - You think he's lying?
- - No.
- 606
- 00:29:51,578 --> 00:29:53,578
- Kid like that
- doesn't know how to lie.
- 607
- 00:29:53,578 --> 00:29:56,545
- - That's true. - (laughs)
- - Pro-lifers are so serious.
- 608
- 00:30:01,978 --> 00:30:03,843
- ABBY:
- Mmm.
- 609
- 00:30:03,843 --> 00:30:05,677
- - (microwave bell dings)
- - Cheryl, those shoes
- 610
- 00:30:05,677 --> 00:30:07,143
- - are amazing.
- - I know. Thank you.
- 611
- 00:30:12,143 --> 00:30:14,310
- - You really fit here.
- - Thank you.
- 612
- 00:30:14,310 --> 00:30:15,877
- Are you enjoying it?
- 613
- 00:30:15,877 --> 00:30:17,809
- Yeah, absolutely.
- (chuckles)
- 614
- 00:30:17,809 --> 00:30:19,343
- You know what,
- I think it's time
- 615
- 00:30:19,343 --> 00:30:21,210
- for you to take the next step.
- 616
- 00:30:21,210 --> 00:30:24,142
- I'd like you to meet me in
- the POC room in five minutes.
- 617
- 00:30:24,142 --> 00:30:26,108
- - Okay.
- - Okay.
- 618
- 00:30:29,577 --> 00:30:30,942
- - Did you hear that?
- - Mm-hmm.
- 619
- 00:30:30,942 --> 00:30:33,908
- I really fit in here.
- 620
- 00:30:33,908 --> 00:30:36,974
- Mm-hmm. Do you know
- what POC stands for?
- 621
- 00:30:36,974 --> 00:30:39,108
- Products of conception.
- 622
- 00:30:39,108 --> 00:30:41,276
- Pieces of children.
- 623
- 00:30:41,276 --> 00:30:43,001
- Hope you had a light breakfast.
- 624
- 00:30:44,841 --> 00:30:46,842
- ABBY:
- In our facility,
- 625
- 00:30:46,842 --> 00:30:49,773
- the POC room was
- the Holy of Holies.
- 626
- 00:30:49,773 --> 00:30:52,240
- Most of the staff
- never set foot in there.
- 627
- 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,907
- After a surgical abortion,
- each fetus
- 628
- 00:30:54,907 --> 00:30:57,274
- had to be carefully reassembled
- in a petri dish
- 629
- 00:30:57,274 --> 00:30:59,607
- to make sure that none of
- its parts were missing.
- 630
- 00:30:59,607 --> 00:31:01,074
- Because if they were,
- 631
- 00:31:01,074 --> 00:31:04,239
- it meant that they were
- still inside the patient.
- 632
- 00:31:04,239 --> 00:31:07,307
- By the end of the day,
- there'd be 30 or 40 dishes,
- 633
- 00:31:07,307 --> 00:31:10,897
- and the doctors would
- have to sign off on each one.
- 634
- 00:31:12,706 --> 00:31:14,263
- I want you to see something.
- 635
- 00:31:16,138 --> 00:31:17,798
- Go ahead.
- 636
- 00:31:26,338 --> 00:31:29,030
- It's amazing.
- You can see everything.
- 637
- 00:31:31,105 --> 00:31:33,305
- Do you know what's happened
- with every other person
- 638
- 00:31:33,305 --> 00:31:35,273
- who's come in here
- and seen one of these?
- 639
- 00:31:35,273 --> 00:31:37,170
- The first thing they do?
- 640
- 00:31:37,170 --> 00:31:40,372
- They cry.
- 641
- 00:31:40,372 --> 00:31:43,937
- But not you.
- 642
- 00:31:43,937 --> 00:31:46,104
- That's how I know
- you're the one.
- 643
- 00:31:46,104 --> 00:31:49,703
- Very soon,
- I'll be called up to Houston,
- 644
- 00:31:49,703 --> 00:31:52,837
- and someone will need
- to replace me here.
- 645
- 00:31:52,837 --> 00:31:55,267
- Personally,
- I'd like it to be you.
- 646
- 00:31:56,869 --> 00:31:58,737
- I'd be honored.
- 647
- 00:31:58,737 --> 00:32:00,930
- Good.
- 648
- 00:32:07,136 --> 00:32:10,369
- Babe, are you sure
- you're not pregnant?
- 649
- 00:32:10,369 --> 00:32:12,927
- No, I am not pregnant.
- 650
- 00:32:14,734 --> 00:32:16,166
- Okay.
- 651
- 00:32:17,668 --> 00:32:20,202
- What makes you think that?
- 652
- 00:32:20,202 --> 00:32:22,099
- Nothing in particular.
- 653
- 00:32:24,101 --> 00:32:26,168
- Doug, I counsel pregnant women
- every day,
- 654
- 00:32:26,168 --> 00:32:28,834
- so don't you think
- that if I were to conceive,
- 655
- 00:32:28,834 --> 00:32:31,096
- despite being on the pill,
- that I would be aware of it?
- 656
- 00:32:32,167 --> 00:32:33,935
- Yeah, you're right.
- 657
- 00:32:33,935 --> 00:32:35,899
- Forget I said anything.
- 658
- 00:32:40,735 --> 00:32:44,066
- - Do you have a test kit handy?
- - Yeah.
- 659
- 00:32:44,066 --> 00:32:45,896
- For who?
- 660
- 00:32:52,733 --> 00:32:55,698
- (toilet flushes)
- 661
- 00:32:55,698 --> 00:32:58,597
- (water runs, stops)
- 662
- 00:33:02,198 --> 00:33:05,256
- You know, we could take care
- of that for you if you'd like.
- 663
- 00:33:10,665 --> 00:33:11,932
- (door closes)
- 664
- 00:33:11,932 --> 00:33:13,596
- What?!
- Honey, that's wonderful!
- 665
- 00:33:13,596 --> 00:33:14,858
- I-I didn't even know
- you were trying!
- 666
- 00:33:16,098 --> 00:33:17,764
- We weren't.
- 667
- 00:33:17,764 --> 00:33:21,596
- Well, sometimes
- the Lord just has a plan.
- 668
- 00:33:21,596 --> 00:33:23,931
- - There's no chance...
- - Don't worry, Mom.
- 669
- 00:33:23,931 --> 00:33:26,632
- I never would have told you
- if I wasn't sure.
- 670
- 00:33:26,632 --> 00:33:29,063
- You're gonna be a grandpa.
- 671
- 00:33:29,063 --> 00:33:30,930
- Ab?
- 672
- 00:33:30,930 --> 00:33:32,264
- Hey, girl.
- 673
- 00:33:32,264 --> 00:33:34,296
- Oh, we couldn't be
- more proud of you.
- 674
- 00:33:34,296 --> 00:33:35,630
- And you're committed
- 675
- 00:33:35,630 --> 00:33:37,796
- to carrying this pregnancy
- to term?
- 676
- 00:33:37,796 --> 00:33:39,197
- I am.
- 677
- 00:33:39,197 --> 00:33:40,862
- We are.
- 678
- 00:33:40,862 --> 00:33:45,730
- We only have so much time,
- so much energy.
- 679
- 00:33:45,730 --> 00:33:47,595
- If you choose
- to spend it elsewhere,
- 680
- 00:33:47,595 --> 00:33:49,996
- there's less of you for here.
- 681
- 00:33:49,996 --> 00:33:52,196
- I'm only telling you this
- for your own good.
- 682
- 00:33:52,196 --> 00:33:54,794
- I understand,
- but once this baby's born,
- 683
- 00:33:54,794 --> 00:33:57,228
- I promise,
- I am back on the pill,
- 684
- 00:33:57,228 --> 00:33:58,751
- and maybe this time
- it will do its job.
- 685
- 00:34:00,361 --> 00:34:04,061
- Look, I already warned Doug,
- we are one and done.
- 686
- 00:34:04,061 --> 00:34:05,595
- So, in the meantime,
- 687
- 00:34:05,595 --> 00:34:08,727
- do you want to move me
- to the lab or recovery?
- 688
- 00:34:08,727 --> 00:34:10,294
- No.
- 689
- 00:34:10,294 --> 00:34:12,362
- Don't you think
- it'll make women uncomfortable
- 690
- 00:34:12,362 --> 00:34:14,360
- - once I start to show?
- - No.
- 691
- 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,088
- If anything, it will
- encourage them to abort.
- 692
- 00:34:19,259 --> 00:34:21,593
- One of these was just
- administered in Exam Room 3.
- 693
- 00:34:21,593 --> 00:34:23,627
- - Okay. - And this is from
- Dr. Stevens in Room 1.
- 694
- 00:34:23,627 --> 00:34:24,793
- 1. Thank you.
- 695

- - ROB: Listen to what Abby says.
- - Rob, Christina, hi.
- 696
- 00:34:27,092 --> 00:34:29,293
- Abby, I am so glad you're here.
- 697
- 00:34:29,293 --> 00:34:31,293
- I really appreciate you
- helping us out with this.
- 698
- 00:34:31,293 --> 00:34:33,325
- Oh, don't worry. We're gonna
- take great care of her.
- 699
- 00:34:33,325 --> 00:34:35,626
- Hey, it's okay to be
- a little bit nervous,
- 700
- 00:34:35,626 --> 00:34:37,726
- but there's absolutely nothing
- to worry about.
- 701
- 00:34:37,726 --> 00:34:39,157
- - Here's a packet.
- - Thank you.
- 702
- 00:34:39,157 --> 00:34:41,147
- Come on.
- I'll get you checked in, okay?
- 703
- 00:34:42,858 --> 00:34:44,051
- Go.
- 704
- 00:34:45,690 --> 00:34:47,258
- CHRISTINA:
- My parents are really
- 705
- 00:34:47,258 --> 00:34:48,958
- pressuring me to do this.
- 706
- 00:34:48,958 --> 00:34:50,958
- But what if I'm still
- making a mistake?
- 707
- 00:34:50,958 --> 00:34:53,657
- You're not.
- 708
- 00:34:53,657 --> 00:34:56,825
- Okay? High school is no time
- to start raising a baby.
- 709
- 00:34:56,825 --> 00:34:58,823
- Just relax.
- 710
- 00:34:58,823 --> 00:35:01,790
- The doctor's gonna be in
- in just a few minutes, okay?
- 711
- 00:35:01,790 --> 00:35:03,657
- Can you stay in here with me?
- 712
- 00:35:03,657 --> 00:35:07,190
- Sweetie, I would,
- but I am just a counselor.
- 713
- 00:35:07,190 --> 00:35:10,024
- They don't want me in here
- during the procedure.
- 714
- 00:35:10,024 --> 00:35:12,122
- The whole thing will take
- just a couple of minutes,
- 715
- 00:35:12,122 --> 00:35:14,589
- and I will check in on you
- in the recovery room,
- 716
- 00:35:14,589 --> 00:35:17,985
- and I promise you
- that everything will be okay.

- You call an ambulance,
- 768
- 00:37:16,947 --> 00:37:18,814
- and there's a picture of that
- in the papers.
- 769
- 00:37:18,814 --> 00:37:21,748

- How do you know she's not
- gonna remember anything?
- 775

- We use a very strong
- combination of medication.
- 776
- 00:37:34,047 --> 00:37:36,713
- Even when we wake her up,
- she won't remember any of this.
- 777
- 00:37:36,713 --> 00:37:38,646
- Push another round in her
- of some fentanyl.
- 778
- 00:37:38,646 --> 00:37:40,547
- - I'm not comfortable with that.
- - Uh, you know what?!
- 779
- 00:37:40,547 --> 00:37:42,678
- I don't care if you're
- comfortable! Just do it!

- - find out what's happened
- to my daughter. - I'm gonna
- 792

- 00:38:17,077 --> 00:38:18,776
- - Will you, please?
- - I-I'll be right back, okay?
- 794
- 00:38:18,776 --> 00:38:20,143
- Thank you.
- 795

- (phones ringing, quiet chatter)
- 796
- 00:38:21,775 --> 00:38:23,264
- (quietly):
- I'm so sorry.
- 797
- 00:38:35,108 --> 00:38:37,175
- Hey, we are really
- backing up out there.
- 798
- 00:38:37,175 --> 00:38:40,643
- And her father keeps asking
- why it's taking so long.
- 799
- 00:38:40,643 --> 00:38:42,504
- Thank you.
- 800
- 00:38:47,109 --> 00:38:48,807
- Abby?
- 801
- 00:38:48,807 --> 00:38:50,975
- If you're going to run
- this clinic one day,
- 802
- 00:38:50,975 --> 00:38:52,975
- I need to trust
- that you're not gonna panic
- 803
- 00:38:52,975 --> 00:38:55,040
- at the sight of a little blood.
- 804
- 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,564
- Now go out there and reassure
- him that everything is fine.
- 805
- 00:39:13,805 --> 00:39:15,606
- (sighs)
- 806
- 00:39:15,606 --> 00:39:17,573
- Just a little blood.
- 807
- 00:39:33,006 --> 00:39:35,571
- Rob. Hey.
- 808
- 00:39:35,571 --> 00:39:37,072
- Christina's fine.
- 809
- 00:39:37,072 --> 00:39:39,539
- But we had another patient
- who forgot to mention
- 810
- 00:39:39,539 --> 00:39:41,770
- an allergy to a medication
- that we use.
- 811
- 00:39:41,770 --> 00:39:43,770
- So it's taking a little longer
- than we'd like.
- 812
- 00:39:43,770 --> 00:39:45,538
- - So she's okay?
- - Oh, yes, she's...
- 813
- 00:39:45,538 --> 00:39:46,769
- - Everything's all right?
- - She's fine.
- 814
- 00:39:46,769 --> 00:39:48,804
- (sighs):
- Oh, thank God.
- 815
- 00:39:48,804 --> 00:39:50,704
- So how much longer
- is she gonna be?
- 816
- 00:39:50,704 --> 00:39:53,869
- Well, the doctor
- should be in any second.
- 817
- 00:39:53,869 --> 00:39:55,836
- The procedure only takes
- a few minutes,
- 818
- 00:39:55,836 --> 00:39:58,737
- and recovery will be
- just a little longer.
- 819
- 00:39:58,737 --> 00:40:00,336
- Thank you, Abby.
- 820
- 00:40:00,336 --> 00:40:02,536
- I'll let you know
- as soon as she's out, okay?
- 821
- 00:40:02,536 --> 00:40:04,070

- 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:22,127
- after terminating
- 38 pregnancies
- 859
- 00:42:22,127 --> 00:42:23,592
- in the space of four hours,
- 860
- 00:42:23,592 --> 00:42:26,693
- we spent two hours
- celebrating mine
- 861
- 00:42:26,693 --> 00:42:28,893
- with cake and flowers
- and baby gifts.
- 862

- Abby!

- - You're expecting!

- When are you due?
- 867
- 00:42:44,024 --> 00:42:47,124
- - Thanksgiving.
- - Mine, too.
- 868
- 00:42:47,124 --> 00:42:48,925
- Seriously?
- 869
- 00:42:48,925 --> 00:42:50,791
- - You're so tiny.
- - (chuckles)
- 870
- 00:42:50,791 --> 00:42:53,024
- Not for much longer.
- 871
- 00:42:53,024 --> 00:42:55,024
- Think about how much fun
- Christmas will be.
- 872
- 00:42:55,024 --> 00:42:58,324
- Is there any greater blessing
- than a new baby?
- 873
- 00:42:58,324 --> 00:43:00,958
- It's okay.
- 874
- 00:43:00,958 --> 00:43:04,616
- And I agree.
- In the right circumstances.
- 875

- ABBY:
- Around that time,
- 880
- 00:43:26,922 --> 00:43:29,754
- Shawn Carney and his friends
- started their first ever

- 00:43:29,754 --> 00:43:32,088
- 40 Days for Life prayer-a-thon.
- 882
- 00:43:32,088 --> 00:43:35,022
- 24 hours a day,
- seven days a week,
- 883
- 00:43:35,022 --> 00:43:37,688
- there were people praying
- outside of our clinic.
- 884
- 00:43:37,688 --> 00:43:39,255
- CHERYL:
- These are extremist zealots
- 885
- 00:43:39,255 --> 00:43:40,854
- that will stop at nothing
- 886
- 00:43:40,854 --> 00:43:42,853
- to restrict
- a woman's right to choose.
- 887
- 00:43:42,853 --> 00:43:45,254
- So, are you concerned for your
- safety and that of your staff?
- 888
- 00:43:45,254 --> 00:43:47,021
- Yes, absolutely. Violence
- is a real possibility...
- 889
- 00:43:47,021 --> 00:43:49,553
- ABBY:
- Cheryl was beside herself,
- 890
- 00:43:49,553 --> 00:43:51,587
- but I didn't
- pay much attention.
- 891
- 00:43:51,587 --> 00:43:53,954
- I was otherwise engaged.
- 892
- 00:43:53,954 --> 00:43:55,953
- (screaming)
- 893
- 00:43:55,953 --> 00:43:59,253

- (groans loudly)
- 895
- 00:44:02,052 --> 00:44:04,519
- Baby? Baby?
- 896
- 00:44:04,519 --> 00:44:06,687
- I hate to tell you this,
- 897
- 00:44:06,687 --> 00:44:09,219
- but he says you're only
- two centimeters apart.
- 898
- 00:44:09,219 --> 00:44:12,119
- What?!
- 899
- 00:44:12,119 --> 00:44:13,752
- (screams)
- 900
- 00:44:13,752 --> 00:44:16,118
- Maybe it was a bad time
- to bring it up.
- 901
- 00:44:16,118 --> 00:44:17,518
- Just shut up!
- 902
- 00:44:17,518 --> 00:44:19,519
- Just don't-don't touch me.
- 903
- 00:44:19,519 --> 00:44:22,518
- ABBY:
- And a mere 22 hours later...
- 904
- 00:44:22,518 --> 00:44:25,585
- (groans)
- Two centimeters!
- 905
- 00:44:25,585 --> 00:44:28,550
- ...I gave birth
- to a precious baby girl.
- 906
- 00:44:28,550 --> 00:44:30,917
- - We named her Grace.
- - He's downstairs.
- 907
- 00:44:30,917 --> 00:44:33,118
- He hasn't seen a poopy diaper
- in a long time,
- 908
- 00:44:33,118 --> 00:44:35,783
- and I think now's the
- perfect time to show him one.
- 909
- 00:44:35,783 --> 00:44:38,273
- Oh, he'll love that.
- (chuckles)
- 910
- 00:44:40,785 --> 00:44:43,183
- Are you looking forward
- to being home?
- 911
- 00:44:43,183 --> 00:44:45,884
- Yeah, for the next
- eight weeks, I am.
- 912
- 00:44:45,884 --> 00:44:48,282
- Don't you think
- that child needs you?
- 913
- 00:44:48,282 --> 00:44:51,250
- And she'll have me.
- 914
- 00:44:51,250 --> 00:44:54,148
- Cheryl's being promoted
- and transferred to Houston.
- 915
- 00:44:54,148 --> 00:44:56,615
- She wants me to be
- the director of the clinic.
- 916
- 00:44:57,816 --> 00:44:59,150
- I would be
- the youngest director
- 917
- 00:44:59,150 --> 00:45:01,582
- in Planned Parenthood history.
- 918
- 00:45:01,582 --> 00:45:03,915
- It's not the kind of
- opportunity you just pass up.
- 919
- 00:45:03,915 --> 00:45:07,614
- Abby, I don't know
- what you want me to say.
- 920
- 00:45:07,614 --> 00:45:11,148
- I'm proud of
- your accomplishments. I am.
- 921
- 00:45:11,148 --> 00:45:13,746
- But I can't pretend to like
- your choice of career.
- 922
- 00:45:13,746 --> 00:45:17,181
- Have you thought about
- the fact that, as the director,
- 923
- 00:45:17,181 --> 00:45:19,915
- you'll actually be in charge of
- the abortions at your clinic?
- 924
- 00:45:19,915 --> 00:45:21,581
- Don't you see
- that it's different
- 925
- 00:45:21,581 --> 00:45:23,047
- from counseling women
- about their choices?
- 926
- 00:45:23,047 --> 00:45:24,847
- Sure, but now I can make ours
- 927
- 00:45:24,847 --> 00:45:27,646
- the best clinic
- in the entire affiliate.
- 928
- 00:45:27,646 --> 00:45:31,581
- And decrease the number
- of unwanted pregnancies.

- This is my chance
- to make a real difference.

- Mom, what's wrong?
- 931
- 00:45:39,881 --> 00:45:41,579
- I guess I hoped
- that Grace's birth
- 932
- 00:45:41,579 --> 00:45:44,112
- meant the end of all this.
- 933
- 00:45:44,112 --> 00:45:46,204

- 00:47:16,207 --> 00:47:18,905
- Whatever you say, hon.
- 957
- 00:47:18,905 --> 00:47:20,064
- Good night.
- 958
- 00:47:27,039 --> 00:47:30,272
- ABBY: The next day,
- I got the promotion.
- 959
- 00:47:30,272 --> 00:47:32,238
- From now on, no more
- harassing the protesters
- 960
- 00:47:32,238 --> 00:47:33,772
- or calling the police
- 961
- 00:47:33,772 --> 00:47:35,638
- unless we've identified
- someone as dangerous.
- 962
- 00:47:35,638 --> 00:47:37,870
- Wait, so we're just gonna give
- the anti-choicers a free pass?
- 963
- 00:47:37,870 --> 00:47:39,871
- We're going to treat them
- with respect
- 964
- 00:47:39,871 --> 00:47:41,305
- - and expect the same in return.
- - (phone ringing)
- 965
- 00:47:41,305 --> 00:47:42,738
- And definitely no turning on
- the sprinklers.
- 966
- 00:47:42,738 --> 00:47:44,536
- Planned Parenthood.
- This is Renee.
- 967
- 00:47:44,536 --> 00:47:45,970
- No more letting them
- get under our skin
- 968
- 00:47:45,970 --> 00:47:47,904
- or losing our tempers.
- 969
- 00:47:47,904 --> 00:47:49,571
- We're doing a good thing here,
- 970
- 00:47:49,571 --> 00:47:51,169
- and the best way
- to reinforce that
- 971
- 00:47:51,169 --> 00:47:53,070
- isn't with words but actions.
- 972
- 00:47:53,070 --> 00:47:55,938
- Okay. Okay, ma'am.
- Of course.
- 973
- 00:47:55,938 --> 00:47:58,503
- Abby, there's a woman
- circling the block right now,
- 974
- 00:47:58,503 --> 00:48:01,304
- and she can't come in because
- somebody's filming outside.
- 975
- 00:48:01,304 --> 00:48:02,937
- This is the third complaint
- this morning.
- 976
- 00:48:02,937 --> 00:48:04,235
- I'll take care of this.
- 977
- 00:48:04,235 --> 00:48:06,969
- Okay. Ma'am, I am
- so sorry about that.
- 978
- 00:48:06,969 --> 00:48:09,303
- My boss is on it right now.
- 979
- 00:48:09,303 --> 00:48:11,234
- Are you getting everything?
- 980
- 00:48:14,303 --> 00:48:15,825
- Uh-oh.
- 981
- 00:48:17,668 --> 00:48:20,168
- - Hi. - Hi. Hi, Abby.
- I-I hear you've been promoted.
- 982
- 00:48:20,168 --> 00:48:21,802
- Yeah.
- 983
- 00:48:21,802 --> 00:48:23,602
- I'll understand if you're not
- anxious to congratulate me.
- 984
- 00:48:23,602 --> 00:48:24,768
- No, actually I was
- thinking that
- 985
- 00:48:24,768 --> 00:48:26,301
- the women coming in here
- will finally have someone
- 986
- 00:48:26,301 --> 00:48:28,302
- who cares about them
- running things.
- 987
- 00:48:28,302 --> 00:48:30,036
- Is this your camera?
- 988
- 00:48:30,036 --> 00:48:32,601
- - Yes.
- - I need it gone.
- 989
- 00:48:32,601 --> 00:48:33,901
- I'm sorry,
- but we can't do that.
- 990
- 00:48:33,901 --> 00:48:36,101
- Sure, you can.
- Just take it off the tripod,
- 991
- 00:48:36,101 --> 00:48:38,099
- pack it up and take it back
- to your office.
- 992
- 00:48:38,099 --> 00:48:40,601
- Abby, we've been accused
- of a lot of things,
- 993
- 00:48:40,601 --> 00:48:42,167
- some of them criminal.
- 994
- 00:48:42,167 --> 00:48:43,999
- This camera is our best
- evidence that what we're doing
- 995
- 00:48:43,999 --> 00:48:45,999
- is peaceful
- and nonconfrontational.
- 996
- 00:48:45,999 --> 00:48:48,167
- Shawn, this is not the way
- 997
- 00:48:48,167 --> 00:48:51,999
- that you want to start out
- our new relationship, okay?
- 998
- 00:48:51,999 --> 00:48:54,033
- Just angle it away from the
- fence; that's all I'm asking.
- 999
- 00:48:54,033 --> 00:48:56,531
- Can't do it. We need to see
- what's actually going on.
- 1000
- 00:48:56,531 --> 00:48:59,566
- If there's ever any question,
- we need it to be clear.
- 1001
- 00:48:59,566 --> 00:49:01,300
- Mm-hmm.
- 1002
- 00:49:01,300 --> 00:49:04,598
- Sometimes I don't mind
- you guys,
- 1003
- 00:49:04,598 --> 00:49:07,258
- but this morning,
- you're really pissing me off.
- 1004
- 00:49:12,097 --> 00:49:14,232
- And for your information,
- Shawn, there have always been
- 1005
- 00:49:14,232 --> 00:49:16,230
- people willing to defend
- basic human rights.
- 1006
- 00:49:16,230 --> 00:49:18,064
- First there was
- the fight against slavery.
- 1007
- 00:49:18,064 --> 00:49:19,997
- Then it was the people who
- stood up against the Holocaust.
- 1008
- 00:49:19,997 --> 00:49:22,232
- Later it was a battle
- for civil rights.
- 1009
- 00:49:22,232 --> 00:49:24,797
- And now it is
- Planned Parenthood standing up
- 1010
- 00:49:24,797 --> 00:49:26,497
- for the reproductive rights
- of women.
- 1011
- 00:49:26,497 --> 00:49:27,864
- Abby, you don't need
- to justify your job...
- 1012
- 00:49:27,864 --> 00:49:28,865
- I'm not justifying
- anything, okay?
- 1013
- 00:49:28,865 --> 00:49:30,496
- I'm just trying
- to explain to you...
- 1014
- 00:49:30,496 --> 00:49:31,664
- And you don't need to explain
- what you're doing either.
- 1015
- 00:49:31,664 --> 00:49:33,564
- The truth is
- you've just cited
- 1016
- 00:49:33,564 --> 00:49:35,164
- three examples of injustice:
- 1017
- 00:49:35,164 --> 00:49:38,130
- Slavery, segregation
- and the Holocaust.
- 1018
- 00:49:38,130 --> 00:49:39,996
- That can only occur
- when a whole segment
- 1019
- 00:49:39,996 --> 00:49:42,131
- of the population
- is dehumanized.
- 1020
- 00:49:42,131 --> 00:49:45,823
- And that's exactly what Planned
- Parenthood does to the unborn.
- 1021
- 00:49:55,694 --> 00:49:57,894
- Well, that went well.
- 1022
- 00:49:57,894 --> 00:50:00,259
- Yeah. She'll be fine.
- 1023
- 00:50:04,627 --> 00:50:06,594
- (screaming, shouting)
- 1024
- 00:50:11,694 --> 00:50:13,994
- What are you smiling about?
- 1025
- 00:50:13,994 --> 00:50:17,294
- You got to give her this.
- She got us to move the camera.
- 1026
- 00:50:17,294 --> 00:50:18,893
- (laughter)
- 1027
- 00:50:18,893 --> 00:50:20,661
- ABBY: Part of my job
- as clinic director
- 1028
- 00:50:20,661 --> 00:50:24,893
- was selling abortions,
- and I was really good at it.
- 1029
- 00:50:24,893 --> 00:50:27,060
- You know those guys
- who try to sell you time-shares
- 1030
- 00:50:27,060 --> 00:50:29,625
- in places
- you never even heard of?
- 1031
- 00:50:29,625 --> 00:50:32,193
- They had nothing on me.
- 1032
- 00:50:32,193 --> 00:50:34,060
- But, Jane,
- you're eight weeks pregnant.
- 1033
- 00:50:34,060 --> 00:50:37,159
- You've already spent $150
- on an ultrasound.
- 1034
- 00:50:37,159 --> 00:50:39,493
- If I book you today,
- I'm authorized to credit that
- 1035
- 00:50:39,493 --> 00:50:40,793
- towards the cost
- of your procedure.
- 1036
- 00:50:40,793 --> 00:50:43,091
- But if you walk
- out of this office,
- 1037
- 00:50:43,091 --> 00:50:45,158
- then the soonest I can book you
- again is two weeks from today.
- 1038
- 00:50:45,158 --> 00:50:46,926
- And at ten weeks,
- the price goes up $100,
- 1039
- 00:50:46,926 --> 00:50:49,191
- plus you lose the discount.
- 1040
- 00:50:49,191 --> 00:50:52,925
- Choosing to wait's gonna
- cost you an additional $250.
- 1041
- 00:50:52,925 --> 00:50:54,924
- So, is there any reason
- that we shouldn't go ahead
- 1042
- 00:50:54,924 --> 00:50:57,124
- and schedule
- your appointment today?
- 1043
- 00:50:57,124 --> 00:50:58,925
- You take credit cards, right?
- 1044
- 00:50:58,925 --> 00:51:00,625
- Absolutely.
- 1045
- 00:51:00,625 --> 00:51:03,723
- Okay, can I put you
- on hold, please?
- 1046
- 00:51:03,723 --> 00:51:06,090
- Okay, thanks.
- 1047
- 00:51:06,090 --> 00:51:08,680
- I'm not doing this.
- This is all you.
- 1048
- 00:51:12,157 --> 00:51:14,155
- Hi. This is Abby Johnson.
- I'm the clinic director.
- 1049
- 00:51:14,155 --> 00:51:15,956
- RHONDA:
- Do you have a back parking lot?
- 1050
- 00:51:15,956 --> 00:51:18,890
- One where, like, I can't be
- seen from the street?
- 1051
- 00:51:18,890 --> 00:51:20,090
- No, I'm sorry, we don't.
- 1052
- 00:51:20,090 --> 00:51:21,721
- All of our parking
- is out front.
- 1053
- 00:51:21,721 --> 00:51:23,155
- Is there a problem?
- 1054
- 00:51:23,155 --> 00:51:25,089
- No. It's not
- that big of a deal.
- 1055
- 00:51:25,089 --> 00:51:28,055
- It's just that my family's
- outside the clinic praying.
- 1056
- 00:51:28,055 --> 00:51:29,721
- They know that
- I'm coming in today,
- 1057
- 00:51:29,721 --> 00:51:31,055
- and they're trying
- to talk me out of it.
- 1058
- 00:51:31,055 --> 00:51:32,923
- Okay. Um, how about this?
- 1059
- 00:51:32,923 --> 00:51:35,154
- Park as close as you can
- to the door,
- 1060
- 00:51:35,154 --> 00:51:37,121
- and I will come out
- and escort you in.
- 1061
- 00:51:40,887 --> 00:51:45,488
- Rhonda. Rhonda, baby,
- please don't do this.
- 1062
- 00:51:45,488 --> 00:51:47,654
- (crying):
- Pl-Please.
- 1063
- 00:51:47,654 --> 00:51:49,987
- Please don't do this.
- 1064
- 00:51:49,987 --> 00:51:52,588
- W-Whatever you need,
- you can come live with us.
- 1065
- 00:51:52,588 --> 00:51:54,953
- Hey, Lily. Hi.
- 1066
- 00:51:54,953 --> 00:51:57,654
- Hey, baby.
- (sobs softly)
- 1067
- 00:51:57,654 --> 00:52:01,085
- LILY:
- Why are you crying, Grammy?
- 1068
- 00:52:01,085 --> 00:52:04,020
- Grammy's just
- a little upset, okay?
- 1069
- 00:52:04,020 --> 00:52:05,854
- - Hey, baby, let's go inside.
- - Love you.
- 1070
- 00:52:05,854 --> 00:52:08,286
- Let's go inside
- with Mommy, okay?
- 1071
- 00:52:08,286 --> 00:52:09,986
- Mommy's coming, too.
- Let's go.
- 1072
- 00:52:09,986 --> 00:52:11,920
- That baby you're carrying...
- 1073
- 00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:15,485
- it's gonna be
- just as beautiful as Lily.
- 1074
- 00:52:15,485 --> 00:52:19,817
- Rhonda, think about the joy
- that she's brought us!
- 1075
- 00:52:19,817 --> 00:52:21,984
- Now think about
- a world without her!
- 1076
- 00:52:21,984 --> 00:52:25,152
- Rhonda, don't do this!
- 1077
- 00:52:25,152 --> 00:52:26,617
- - Rhonda!
- - Are you okay?
- 1078
- 00:52:26,617 --> 00:52:27,984
- Because if you need
- to talk about it,
- 1079
- 00:52:27,984 --> 00:52:30,018
- you know, it seems like
- you have a lot of support
- 1080
- 00:52:30,018 --> 00:52:32,219
- from your family if you decided
- to keep the baby.
- 1081
- 00:52:32,219 --> 00:52:33,783
- It's okay.
- That's just my mom.
- 1082
- 00:52:33,783 --> 00:52:34,951
- It's how she is.
- 1083
- 00:52:34,951 --> 00:52:36,951
- Trust me, I'm fine.
- 1084
- 00:52:36,951 --> 00:52:39,082
- RHONDA'S MOM: Please, I can't
- go through this!
- 1085

- (door buzzes)
- 1086
- 00:52:40,850 --> 00:52:43,584
- - Rhonda!
- - ABBY: Fine?
- 1087
- 00:52:43,584 --> 00:52:45,949
- - How could she be fine?
- - (crying): God, help me.
- 1088
- 00:52:45,949 --> 00:52:49,583
- I was deeply shaken
- by what I'd just seen.
- 1089
- 00:52:49,583 --> 00:52:51,951
- (crying):
- Help me. Help me, God.
- 1090
- 00:52:51,951 --> 00:52:55,116
- ABBY: The family stayed
- and prayed for an hour.
- 1091
- 00:52:55,116 --> 00:52:57,783
- Then another hour.
- 1092
- 00:52:57,783 --> 00:52:59,482
- Then finally they went home.

- ABBY:
- For a while, life settled into
- 1126
- 00:55:33,739 --> 00:55:35,540
- a predictable routine.
- 1127
- 00:55:35,540 --> 00:55:38,172
- Looking back, it was like
- a calm before the storm,
- 1128
- 00:55:38,172 --> 00:55:40,730
- a really big storm.
- 1129
- 00:55:42,670 --> 00:55:45,838
- Mention "Houston" and
- "hurricane" in the same breath,
- 1130
- 00:55:45,838 --> 00:55:47,938
- and people immediately
- think of Harvey.
- 1131
- 00:55:47,938 --> 00:55:49,670
- Not many folks remember
- Hurricane Ike,
- 1132
- 00:55:49,670 --> 00:55:52,737
- which is really weird
- given that, when it landed,
- 1133
- 00:55:52,737 --> 00:55:54,171
- it was the third
- most destructive hurricane
- 1134
- 00:55:54,171 --> 00:55:55,502
- in U.S. History.
- 1135
- 00:55:55,502 --> 00:55:57,737
- And what made Ike even scarier
- 1136
- 00:55:57,737 --> 00:56:00,171
- was that it was headed
- straight for us.
- 1137
- 00:56:00,171 --> 00:56:02,836
- ...where it will make landfall,
- but by Saturday, somewhere...
- 1138
- 00:56:02,836 --> 00:56:04,802
- CHERYL:
- Are you watching this?
- 1139
- 00:56:04,802 --> 00:56:06,537
- ...dealing with
- a Category 4 monster.
- 1140
- 00:56:06,537 --> 00:56:08,835
- You need to contact
- all of your scheduled clients
- 1141
- 00:56:08,835 --> 00:56:10,569
- and tell them to stay home.
- 1142
- 00:56:10,569 --> 00:56:13,270
- But we have 40 women
- depending on us.
- 1143
- 00:56:13,270 --> 00:56:15,268
- Some of them can't wait
- another two weeks.
- 1144
- 00:56:15,268 --> 00:56:17,068
- It'll be past the cutoff.
- 1145
- 00:56:17,068 --> 00:56:19,469
- Can't we wait a little longer
- before canceling?
- 1146
- 00:56:19,469 --> 00:56:22,234
- Mm, no. If anything were
- to happen, we could be sued.
- 1147
- 00:56:22,234 --> 00:56:23,868
- We cannot afford the liability.
- 1148
- 00:56:23,868 --> 00:56:25,568
- I mean, at this point,
- 1149
- 00:56:25,568 --> 00:56:27,502
- half of Houston's already
- packing up to leave.
- 1150
- 00:56:27,502 --> 00:56:29,834
- What if I bring in
- everyone early,
- 1151
- 00:56:29,834 --> 00:56:31,868
- I rebook the doctor for Friday
- instead of Saturday?
- 1152
- 00:56:31,868 --> 00:56:34,469
- I'll have everyone
- in and out by 3:00 p.m.
- 1153
- 00:56:34,469 --> 00:56:36,500
- Mm, I don't know
- if that's a good idea.
- 1154
- 00:56:36,500 --> 00:56:38,501
- We have to call
- all the clients anyway.
- 1155
- 00:56:38,501 --> 00:56:40,201
- And we'll give them the choice:
- 1156
- 00:56:40,201 --> 00:56:43,900
- Rebook two weeks from now
- or come in tomorrow.
- 1157
- 00:56:43,900 --> 00:56:46,001
- Do it.
- 1158
- 00:56:46,001 --> 00:56:49,032

- The building's solid,
- and we have a backup generator.
- 1163
- 00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,265
- But traveling is
- going to be impossible,
- 1164

- not to mention the flooding.
- 1166
- 00:57:05,132 --> 00:57:06,132
- Plus, it's probably gonna be

- illegal to drive
- by tomorrow night.
- 1168
- 00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:09,231
- We need to call
- every woman on this list.
- 1169
- 00:57:09,231 --> 00:57:10,732
- They can't come on Saturday.
- 1170
- 00:57:10,732 --> 00:57:12,499
- I'm hoping to rebook them
- for tomorrow.
- 1171
- 00:57:12,499 --> 00:57:14,664
- Tomorrow?
- 1172
- 00:57:14,664 --> 00:57:16,597
- I'm bringing in two surgeons.
- 1173
- 00:57:16,597 --> 00:57:18,832
- We're running procedures
- in both rooms simultaneously.

- We don't have time
- to make mistakes.
- 1176
- 00:57:23,230 --> 00:57:25,931
- Once the last patient is
- through recovery, we're gone.
- 1177
- 00:57:25,931 --> 00:57:27,463
- No paperwork, no cleanup.
- 1178
- 00:57:27,463 --> 00:57:30,230
- We bolt the door, race home,
- and hunker down.
- 1179
- 00:57:30,230 --> 00:57:32,797
- But to make this work, we're
- gonna need everyone's help.
- 1180
- 00:57:32,797 --> 00:57:34,229
- So are you guys in?
- 1181

- to 24 weeks.
- 1241

- But we're facing
- some challenges as well.
- 1242
- 01:00:37,550 --> 01:00:40,017
- Three hurricanes in four years
- have emptied our cash reserves,
- 1243
- 01:00:40,017 --> 01:00:41,551
- so take note.
- 1244
- 01:00:41,551 --> 01:00:43,749
- We are expanding
- chemically induced abortions
- 1245
- 01:00:43,749 --> 01:00:45,450
- to every day of the week.
- 1246
- 01:00:45,450 --> 01:00:47,550
- Now take a look
- at the learning packets
- 1247
- 01:00:47,550 --> 01:00:48,717
- in front of you, if you would.
- 1248
- 01:00:48,717 --> 01:00:51,449
- And there you will find
- that each of your clinics
- 1249
- 01:00:51,449 --> 01:00:52,782
- are being assigned
- growth targets
- 1250
- 01:00:52,782 --> 01:00:56,848
- to double last year's totals
- on elective terminations.
- 1251
- 01:00:56,848 --> 01:00:58,983
- - Has she lost her mind?
- - Because our margin is better
- 1252
- 01:00:58,983 --> 01:01:00,682
- on chemicals than surgicals,
- with no doctors
- 1253
- 01:01:00,682 --> 01:01:04,615
- cutting into our fees,
- we are going to...
- 1254
- 01:01:04,615 --> 01:01:06,013
- Abby?
- 1255
- 01:01:09,150 --> 01:01:10,648
- Well, it's just that
- 1256
- 01:01:10,648 --> 01:01:13,915
- abortion has never been
- my main priority.
- 1257
- 01:01:13,915 --> 01:01:16,614
- Just look at our mission
- statement on page three.
- 1258
- 01:01:16,614 --> 01:01:18,615
- "To provide
- a comprehensive range
- 1259
- 01:01:18,615 --> 01:01:21,581
- "of reproductive health care
- and sexual health information

- 01:01:21,581 --> 01:01:25,547
- through patient services,
- education and advocacy."
- 1261
- 01:01:25,547 --> 01:01:27,581
- That's what
- I'm committed to doing.
- 1262
- 01:01:27,581 --> 01:01:29,579
- So, if our stated goal is
- 1263
- 01:01:29,579 --> 01:01:31,247
- to decrease the number
- of abortions
- 1264
- 01:01:31,247 --> 01:01:34,114
- by reducing the number
- of unwanted pregnancies,
- 1265
- 01:01:34,114 --> 01:01:37,203
- then why are we being asked
- to double our abortion count?
- 1266
- 01:01:41,213 --> 01:01:44,112
- Why don't we turn to page four.
- 1267
- 01:01:44,112 --> 01:01:45,408
- Thank you.
- 1268
- 01:01:47,180 --> 01:01:48,703
- (clears throat softly)
- 1269
- 01:01:52,079 --> 01:01:53,978
- CHERYL:
- Abby.
- 1270
- 01:01:57,712 --> 01:02:00,845
- Frankly, I am shocked at the
- way you sabotaged me in there.
- 1271
- 01:02:00,845 --> 01:02:04,478
- Is this how you thank me for
- all that I have done for you?
- 1272
- 01:02:04,478 --> 01:02:05,678
- - Cheryl, I wasn't trying...
- - No, Abby,
- 1273
- 01:02:05,678 --> 01:02:06,845
- let me explain
- something to you.
- 1274
- 01:02:06,845 --> 01:02:08,479
- Fast food outlets
- 1275
- 01:02:08,479 --> 01:02:11,044
- look to break even
- on the hamburgers they sell.
- 1276
- 01:02:11,044 --> 01:02:13,478
- That's all they do
- is break even.
- 1277
- 01:02:13,478 --> 01:02:15,776
- Do you know
- how they make their money?
- 1278
- 01:02:15,776 --> 01:02:17,977
- - No. - On the french fries
- and the soda,
- 1279
- 01:02:17,977 --> 01:02:20,011
- the low-cost high-margin items.
- 1280
- 01:02:20,011 --> 01:02:21,876
- Cheryl, I'm sorry,
- but I don't understand...
- 1281
- 01:02:21,876 --> 01:02:26,644
- Abortion is our fries and soda,
- but somehow you've just decided
- 1282
- 01:02:26,644 --> 01:02:28,509
- that it's no longer
- your priority.
- 1283
- 01:02:28,509 --> 01:02:33,210
- Abortion is
- what pays your salary.
- 1284
- 01:02:33,210 --> 01:02:35,675
- It pays for
- your matching 401 (k),
- 1285
- 01:02:35,675 --> 01:02:38,510
- your four weeks vacation,
- your ample sick time.
- 1286
- 01:02:38,510 --> 01:02:42,475
- Abortion... abortion is
- what pays for all of it,
- 1287
- 01:02:42,475 --> 01:02:45,208
- for you and your family.
- 1288
- 01:02:45,208 --> 01:02:49,641
- Now, I didn't say anything when
- you decided to get married,
- 1289
- 01:02:49,641 --> 01:02:53,675
- and I said very little when
- you chose to become a mother,
- 1290
- 01:02:53,675 --> 01:02:55,608
- although I knew
- it would impact your work.
- 1291
- 01:02:55,608 --> 01:02:58,008
- But as clinic director,
- we are paying you
- 1292
- 01:02:58,008 --> 01:03:01,006
- to be a perfect instrument
- of corporate policy.
- 1293
- 01:03:01,006 --> 01:03:03,840
- And corporate policy is simple.
- 1294
- 01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:07,506
- We are an abortion provider.
- 1295
- 01:03:07,506 --> 01:03:10,073
- But we're
- a nonprofit organization.
- 1296
- 01:03:10,073 --> 01:03:13,734
- Nonprofit is a tax status,
- not a business model.
- 1297
- 01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:19,540
- ABBY:
- Can you believe that she
- 1298
- 01:03:19,540 --> 01:03:21,038
- humiliated me like that?
- 1299
- 01:03:21,038 --> 01:03:23,939
- I mean, I'm just
- standing there with my award,
- 1300
- 01:03:23,939 --> 01:03:25,607
- looking like an idiot.
- 1301
- 01:03:25,607 --> 01:03:29,672
- And how am I supposed to double
- the number of abortions?
- 1302
- 01:03:29,672 --> 01:03:31,672
- Am I supposed to go driving
- around the neighborhood,
- 1303
- 01:03:31,672 --> 01:03:33,073
- telling everybody
- to get pregnant?
- 1304
- 01:03:33,073 --> 01:03:35,805
- I don't think that would work.
- 1305
- 01:03:35,805 --> 01:03:37,105
- You're so funny.
- 1306
- 01:03:37,105 --> 01:03:38,472
- - Do you want a glass?
- - Yes, please.
- 1307
- 01:03:38,472 --> 01:03:39,472
- You're gonna need one,
- 1308
- 01:03:39,472 --> 01:03:40,670
- because you know
- what really pisses me off?
- 1309
- 01:03:40,670 --> 01:03:42,671
- What really pisses me off
- is that they are
- 1310
- 01:03:42,671 --> 01:03:46,072
- building the largest and most
- advanced clinic in the country
- 1311
- 01:03:46,072 --> 01:03:49,171
- so that we can perform
- abortions up to 24 weeks.
- 1312
- 01:03:49,171 --> 01:03:52,538
- That is a line
- I said I would never cross.
- 1313
- 01:03:52,538 --> 01:03:57,037
- Okay, pretend for a second
- that you're someone like me
- 1314
- 01:03:57,037 --> 01:03:59,104
- who believes
- all abortions are bad.
- 1315
- 01:03:59,104 --> 01:04:01,103
- What's the difference?
- 1316
- 01:04:01,103 --> 01:04:04,137
- Okay. First of all,
- 1317
- 01:04:04,137 --> 01:04:06,104
- if we do them really late,
- third trimester,
- 1318
- 01:04:06,104 --> 01:04:07,669
- it becomes a three-day ordeal.
- 1319
- 01:04:07,669 --> 01:04:09,169
- It's no longer
- a surgical procedure.
- 1320
- 01:04:09,169 --> 01:04:10,636
- It's labor and delivery.
- 1321
- 01:04:10,636 --> 01:04:12,604
- On the first day,
- they introduce a demise.
- 1322
- 01:04:12,604 --> 01:04:14,835
- - Wait. A demise?
- - Euthanize the fetus.
- 1323
- 01:04:14,835 --> 01:04:17,202
- They stop the heart
- by injecting digoxin
- 1324
- 01:04:17,202 --> 01:04:19,701
- through the uterine wall
- directly into the baby's heart.
- 1325
- 01:04:19,701 --> 01:04:21,001
- Day two,
- they induce contractions.
- 1326
- 01:04:21,001 --> 01:04:23,102
- Day three, it's the delivery,
- 1327
- 01:04:23,102 --> 01:04:24,603
- an artificially induced
- childbirth
- 1328
- 01:04:24,603 --> 01:04:26,601
- of a terminated fetus.
- 1329
- 01:04:26,601 --> 01:04:29,001
- Abby...
- 1330
- 01:04:29,001 --> 01:04:30,668
- you're killing me.
- 1331
- 01:04:30,668 --> 01:04:33,167
- Doug, you were the one
- who asked the question.
- 1332
- 01:04:33,167 --> 01:04:34,434
- Yeah, I know, I know, but...
- 1333
- 01:04:34,434 --> 01:04:35,534
- Well, who am I supposed
- to talk to about this?
- 1334
- 01:04:35,534 --> 01:04:36,701
- I don't know.
- 1335
- 01:04:36,701 --> 01:04:37,934
- All right? I don't know.
- 1336
- 01:04:37,934 --> 01:04:40,000
- All I know is that here we are,
- eight years later,
- 1337
- 01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:42,567
- and you're still thinking
- that you can change them
- 1338
- 01:04:42,567 --> 01:04:45,235
- when the only thing
- that's changed is you, Abby.
- 1339
- 01:04:45,235 --> 01:04:46,466
- Can you even hear yourself
- 1340
- 01:04:46,466 --> 01:04:47,766
- talk right now
- about these procedures?
- 1341
- 01:04:47,766 --> 01:04:50,701
- These are little babies,
- with a little brain
- 1342
- 01:04:50,701 --> 01:04:52,866
- - and little hearts, little
- fingers, little toes. - Doug.
- 1343
- 01:04:52,866 --> 01:04:56,466
- - Doug...
- - I just love you so much,
- 1344
- 01:04:56,466 --> 01:04:58,433
- I can hardly bear to watch it.
- 1345
- 01:05:01,832 --> 01:05:03,696
- (sighs)
- 1346
- 01:05:10,565 --> 01:05:12,826
- (quiet knocking on glass)
- 1347
- 01:05:18,864 --> 01:05:20,631
- Hey, you.
- 1348
- 01:05:20,631 --> 01:05:22,431
- You need a break.
- 1349
- 01:05:22,431 --> 01:05:24,830
- We... we need a break.
- 1350
- 01:05:25,897 --> 01:05:28,131
- I would love to,
- but I have a lot of work to do.
- 1351
- 01:05:28,131 --> 01:05:30,098
- You only get
- one day off a week,
- 1352
- 01:05:30,098 --> 01:05:31,996
- and I'm not gonna
- let you sit here slaving
- 1353
- 01:05:31,996 --> 01:05:34,030
- for Planned Parenthood.
- 1354
- 01:05:34,030 --> 01:05:35,730
- So, grab your things.
- 1355
- 01:05:35,730 --> 01:05:37,431
- We're heading for
- the most thoroughly awesome
- 1356
- 01:05:37,431 --> 01:05:39,029
- Mexican food on the planet.
- 1357
- 01:05:39,029 --> 01:05:40,796
- And if you play
- your cards right...
- 1358
- 01:05:40,796 --> 01:05:43,530
- I might get lucky?
- 1359
- 01:05:43,530 --> 01:05:46,062
- Actually, I was thinking
- I might throw in nachos,
- 1360
- 01:05:46,062 --> 01:05:47,496
- but, hey, I'm okay
- with your suggestion.
- 1361
- 01:05:47,496 --> 01:05:50,430
- - I bet you are.
- I'll be right back. - (chuckles)
- 1362
- 01:05:50,430 --> 01:05:53,462
- (mariachi music playing,
- quiet chatter)
- 1363
- 01:05:53,462 --> 01:05:55,229
- One pumpkin ale for you
- 1364
- 01:05:55,229 --> 01:05:56,996
- - and a margarita for you.
- - Thank you.
- 1365
- 01:05:56,996 --> 01:05:59,586
- Guys, I'll be back in a second
- to take your order.
- 1366
- 01:06:01,995 --> 01:06:03,996
- Ah. Here's your menu.
- 1367
- 01:06:03,996 --> 01:06:05,660
- Pick you out something
- real nice,
- 1368
- 01:06:05,660 --> 01:06:06,994
- 'cause I know
- what I'm going with.
- 1369
- 01:06:06,994 --> 01:06:09,695
- All right, so then
- what are you having?
- 1370
- 01:06:09,695 --> 01:06:13,827
- Only the biggest, wettest,
- nastiest carnitas chimichanga
- 1371
- 01:06:13,827 --> 01:06:15,528
- ever to come out
- of that kitchen,
- 1372
- 01:06:15,528 --> 01:06:17,893
- - if I have anything
- to say about it. - (laughs)
- 1373
- 01:06:17,893 --> 01:06:20,060
- So, how about you?
- 1374
- 01:06:20,060 --> 01:06:22,760
- Mm, well, step aside, muchacho,
- 1375
- 01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:26,460
- because I am having...
- you ready for it?
- 1376
- 01:06:26,460 --> 01:06:31,092
- The chocolate caramel
- dulce de leche dessert nachos.
- 1377
- 01:06:31,092 --> 01:06:33,659
- What? Toast to that.
- 1378
- 01:06:33,659 --> 01:06:35,427
- (chuckles)
- 1379
- 01:06:35,427 --> 01:06:37,152
- This is good.
- 1380
- 01:06:39,226 --> 01:06:41,993
- - Thank you.
- - You're welcome.
- 1381
- 01:06:41,993 --> 01:06:44,492
- Pace yourself, though.
- We're just getting started.
- 1382
- 01:06:44,492 --> 01:06:46,625
- - Oh, is that right? (chuckles)
- - Mm-hmm.
- 1383
- 01:06:46,625 --> 01:06:49,226
- Okay, so what is next?
- 1384
- 01:06:49,226 --> 01:06:52,425
- I'm thinking a film festival
- at our place.
- 1385
- 01:06:52,425 --> 01:06:54,525
- - Heads, you get Gone with
- the Wind. - (chuckles)
- 1386
- 01:06:54,525 --> 01:06:55,658
- Tails, I get The Goonies.
- 1387
- 01:06:55,658 --> 01:06:57,157
- No! I knew you were gonna say
- The Goonies.
- 1388
- 01:06:57,157 --> 01:06:58,557
- I am not watching those kids
- 1389
- 01:06:58,557 --> 01:06:59,858
- - go through puberty again.
- - It's a cult classic.
- 1390
- 01:06:59,858 --> 01:07:01,492
- (chuckles):
- No.
- 1391
- 01:07:01,492 --> 01:07:03,223
- - Give it a chance.
- - No. Okay, all right.
- 1392
- 01:07:03,223 --> 01:07:05,690
- We will compromise
- and watch 300.
- 1393
- 01:07:06,757 --> 01:07:09,158
- Is it any wonder why I love you?
- 1394
- 01:07:09,158 --> 01:07:11,122
- - 300 it is.
- - (chuckles)
- 1395
- 01:07:12,656 --> 01:07:15,657
- To us.
- 1396
- 01:07:15,657 --> 01:07:18,556
- Gracie at the parents',
- a night alone.
- 1397
- 01:07:18,556 --> 01:07:20,090
- How good is this?
- 1398
- 01:07:20,090 --> 01:07:22,424
- REPORTER (over TV):
- ...Dr. George Tiller has died
- 1399
- 01:07:22,424 --> 01:07:25,589
- after being gunned down
- inside his own church.
- 1400
- 01:07:25,589 --> 01:07:28,156
- One of the few such providers
- in the country, Dr. Tiller was
- 1401
- 01:07:28,156 --> 01:07:31,155
- shot in the head this morning
- during worship services.
- 1402
- 01:07:31,155 --> 01:07:33,522
- Police say they are
- searching for a suspect
- 1403
- 01:07:33,522 --> 01:07:35,756
- - to offer protection to other
- appropriate people -Let's go.
- 1404
- 01:07:35,756 --> 01:07:38,855
- And facilities
- around the nation.
- 1405
- 01:07:38,855 --> 01:07:40,555
- - Now. Come on.
- - The 67-year-old Tiller
- 1406
- 01:07:40,555 --> 01:07:42,720
- had offered abortions
- for more than three decades,
- 1407
- 01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:46,855
- performing by his own estimate
- roughly 60,000 procedures.
- 1408
- 01:07:46,855 --> 01:07:48,922
- Dr. Tiller was
- the medical director
- 1409
- 01:07:48,922 --> 01:07:50,715
- of Women's Health Services...
- 1410
- 01:07:55,819 --> 01:08:00,651
- What kind of person would shoot
- someone in the head in church?
- 1411
- 01:08:02,185 --> 01:08:04,653
- Doug, I knew him.
- He had a family.
- 1412
- 01:08:04,653 --> 01:08:05,954
- I know, Ab.
- 1413
- 01:08:05,954 --> 01:08:08,087
- Right now, all I care about
- is picking up Grace
- 1414
- 01:08:08,087 --> 01:08:09,819
- and getting the two of you
- home safely.
- 1415
- 01:08:09,819 --> 01:08:11,886
- You think I'm in danger?
- 1416
- 01:08:11,886 --> 01:08:15,373
- I don't know, but I'm not
- taking any chances.
- 1417
- 01:08:23,051 --> 01:08:24,751
- Are you okay, sweetheart?
- 1418
- 01:08:24,751 --> 01:08:26,081
- I'm fine, Mom.
- 1419
- 01:08:28,484 --> 01:08:30,718
- - Ready?
- - Yeah.
- 1420
- 01:08:30,718 --> 01:08:32,184
- Wait, don't you think
- it makes more sense
- 1421
- 01:08:32,184 --> 01:08:34,944
- - for you to spend the
- night here? - Come on.
- 1422
- 01:08:44,784 --> 01:08:47,017
- It's false sympathy.
- 1423
- 01:08:47,017 --> 01:08:48,549

- 01:24:41,518 --> 01:24:43,485
- sometimes, in the midst of
- all the hours on the fence,
- 1677

- we just prayed and prayed,

- - Why do you say that?
- 1681
- 01:24:52,083 --> 01:24:53,917
- Shawn, I was
- the clinic director,
- 1682
- 01:24:53,917 --> 01:24:57,849
- and any time that you were out
- there, my no-show rate climbed,
- 1683
- 01:24:57,849 --> 01:24:59,916

- just us, though.
- 1686
- 01:25:04,015 --> 01:25:06,582
- Planned Parenthood's
- own statistics show that,
- 1687
- 01:25:06,582 --> 01:25:08,583
- if someone's praying
- outside the clinic,
- 1688
- 01:25:08,583 --> 01:25:11,115
- it can go as high as 75%.
- 1689
- 01:25:11,115 --> 01:25:13,816
- - Are you serious?
- - I'm serious.
- 1690
- 01:25:13,816 --> 01:25:15,549
- It's like this
- dirty little secret
- 1691
- 01:25:15,549 --> 01:25:17,148
- they don't want anyone to know.
- 1692
- 01:25:17,148 --> 01:25:18,782
- When women see you praying,
- 1693
- 01:25:18,782 --> 01:25:22,816
- they just suddenly decide
- not to show up.
- 1694
- 01:25:22,816 --> 01:25:25,814
- They circle the parking lot
- and never come in.
- 1695
- 01:25:25,814 --> 01:25:27,715
- Meaning most of the lives
- that you save,
- 1696
- 01:25:27,715 --> 01:25:30,305
- you never even know about.
- 1697
- 01:25:32,414 --> 01:25:35,715
- Which is why I need
- to go to the fence.
- 1698
- 01:25:35,715 --> 01:25:37,047
- Abby, I really don't think
- 1699
- 01:25:37,047 --> 01:25:38,913
- this is something
- you should be doing yet.
- 1700
- 01:25:38,913 --> 01:25:41,573
- But it's something
- I need to do.
- 1701

- Hi. My name is Abby Johnson.
- 1702
- 01:25:47,414 --> 01:25:49,412
- I used to be the director
- of this clinic.
- 1703
- 01:25:49,412 --> 01:25:52,675
- I quit because my conscience
- wouldn't let me stay.
- 1704
- 01:25:54,746 --> 01:25:58,678

- 1706

- I guess.
- (exhales sharply)
- 1707
- 01:26:04,912 --> 01:26:08,646
- It's always possible you're
- just here for a pregnancy test,
- 1708
- 01:26:08,646 --> 01:26:10,974
- but I'm guessing you've already
- seen the results of yours.
- 1709
- 01:26:12,645 --> 01:26:14,012
- Two of them.
- 1710
- 01:26:14,012 --> 01:26:18,077
- And you feel like your whole
- world is caving in around you,
- 1711
- 01:26:18,077 --> 01:26:20,811
- and you've never been
- so scared and alone.
- 1712
- 01:26:20,811 --> 01:26:22,673
- - (quietly): Yeah.
- - Yeah.
- 1713
- 01:26:24,676 --> 01:26:26,477
- Let me tell you
- what's gonna happen
- 1714
- 01:26:26,477 --> 01:26:28,478
- if you go in that door.
- 1715
- 01:26:28,478 --> 01:26:30,543
- The first thing they're gonna
- do is give you an ultrasound,
- 1716
- 01:26:30,543 --> 01:26:32,110
- but they're not gonna
- let you see it.
- 1717
- 01:26:32,110 --> 01:26:33,677
- Why not?
- 1718
- 01:26:33,677 --> 01:26:36,809
- Because they don't want you
- to see your baby.
- 1719
- 01:26:36,809 --> 01:26:39,343
- Then why do they do
- the ultrasound?
- 1720
- 01:26:39,343 --> 01:26:41,344
- Because the ultrasound
- determines
- 1721
- 01:26:41,344 --> 01:26:42,876
- the size of the fetus.
- 1722
- 01:26:42,876 --> 01:26:45,143
- And the size of the fetus,
- the skull in particular,
- 1723
- 01:26:45,143 --> 01:26:48,741
- is what determines the price
- they're going to charge you.
- 1724
- 01:26:48,741 --> 01:26:51,942
- (crying softly)
- 1725
- 01:26:51,942 --> 01:26:55,007
- Why are you telling me this?
- 1726
- 01:26:55,007 --> 01:26:58,409
- Because I understand
- better than anyone
- 1727
- 01:26:58,409 --> 01:27:00,909
- that, inside that building,
- they don't offer solutions.
- 1728
- 01:27:00,909 --> 01:27:02,141
- They only offer abortions.
- 1729
- 01:27:02,141 --> 01:27:03,741
- And if you go
- through that door,
- 1730
- 01:27:03,741 --> 01:27:07,509
- you will not come out the
- same person, because you can't.
- 1731
- 01:27:07,509 --> 01:27:10,507
- And everybody wants to pretend
- like you can, but you can't.
- 1732
- 01:27:10,507 --> 01:27:13,741
- Because the truth is you can
- let them get rid of your baby,
- 1733
- 01:27:13,741 --> 01:27:16,740
- but they can't get rid of
- the memory of your baby.
- 1734
- 01:27:16,740 --> 01:27:21,706
- And neither can you,
- no matter how hard you try.
- 1735
- 01:27:21,706 --> 01:27:23,539
- (crying softly)
- 1736

- Hannah.

- of experience.

- Arr, milady.

- (normal voice):
- Okay.
- 1808

- - All right.
- - Daddy, let's go!
- 1809

- Can you take this one
- so I can call Shawn?
- 1810
- 01:30:41,826 --> 01:30:42,960
- - Sure.
- - Okay.

- messages about Cheryl's threat?
- 1815
- 01:30:51,724 --> 01:30:54,026
- Yeah. We're being sued.
- We're both gonna need lawyers.
- 1816
- 01:30:54,026 --> 01:30:57,758
- Sued? Do you realize
- how serious this is?
- 1817
- 01:30:57,758 --> 01:31:00,558
- Yeah. And I just realized
- you're 100 feet away from me.

- Abby!

- while I talk to Abby. - Okay.
- 1820

- (whispers):
- Bye, pumpkin.
- 1821
- 01:31:07,624 --> 01:31:09,091
- Are you sure about this?
- 1822
- 01:31:09,091 --> 01:31:12,656
- Yes. We got served
- right before I left work.
- 1823
- 01:31:12,656 --> 01:31:14,457
- There's a lawsuit from
- Planned Parenthood,
- 1824
- 01:31:14,457 --> 01:31:15,457
- plus a restraining order
- 1825
- 01:31:15,457 --> 01:31:16,956
- to keep us from saying
- anything public.
- 1826
- 01:31:16,956 --> 01:31:18,690
- Yours will probably arrive
- on Monday.
- 1827
- 01:31:18,690 --> 01:31:20,357
- When were you planning on
- telling me about this?
- 1828
- 01:31:20,357 --> 01:31:22,357
- Figured I'd let you enjoy
- trick-or-treating
- 1829
- 01:31:22,357 --> 01:31:23,956
- and then give you a call.
- 1830

- (scoffs)
- 1831
- 01:31:25,623 --> 01:31:27,056
- What are we gonna do?
- 1832
- 01:31:27,056 --> 01:31:29,057
- I've already talked with
- Jeff Paradowski.
- 1833
- 01:31:29,057 --> 01:31:31,322
- I believe his response was,
- "I'm in, baby!"
- 1834
- 01:31:31,322 --> 01:31:32,322
- Wait, wait, wait.
- 1835
- 01:31:32,322 --> 01:31:33,622
- The one that's
- on the billboards,
- 1836
- 01:31:33,622 --> 01:31:34,823
- pointing his finger, saying...
- 1837
- 01:31:34,823 --> 01:31:36,321
- "Get what you deserve!"
- 1838
- 01:31:36,321 --> 01:31:39,455
- Yeah. He's an old friend.
- 1839
- 01:31:39,455 --> 01:31:42,757
- Okay, um, you realize
- that attorneys cost money
- 1840
- 01:31:42,757 --> 01:31:46,022
- - and I just left my job? - Jeff
- isn't in this for the money.
- 1841
- 01:31:46,022 --> 01:31:47,522
- He's in this
- to help fight abortion.
- 1842
- 01:31:47,522 --> 01:31:49,520
- He's willing to
- cut into his Saturday
- 1843
- 01:31:49,520 --> 01:31:51,544
- and meet with us
- tomorrow morning.
- 1844
- 01:31:52,654 --> 01:31:55,455
- Abby, meet Jeff.
- 1845
- 01:31:55,455 --> 01:31:57,385
- Jeff, meet Abby.
- 1846
- 01:32:06,553 --> 01:32:08,985
- So, they're claiming
- that Planned Parenthood
- 1847
- 01:32:08,985 --> 01:32:12,020
- and its patients face
- imminent, irreparable harm
- 1848
- 01:32:12,020 --> 01:32:14,021
- from confidential information
- 1849
- 01:32:14,021 --> 01:32:16,719
- you've improperly disclosed
- or are about to disclose.
- 1850
- 01:32:16,719 --> 01:32:18,686
- That's nonsense.
- 1851
- 01:32:18,686 --> 01:32:20,786
- Well, they managed
- to convince a judge otherwise.
- 1852
- 01:32:20,786 --> 01:32:24,085
- Our preliminary hearing
- is in ten days.
- 1853
- 01:32:24,085 --> 01:32:28,453
- The attorneys for the plaintiff
- are a big firm out of Houston.
- 1854
- 01:32:28,453 --> 01:32:32,985
- But I'm betting we'll see
- some faces from D.C. As well.
- 1855
- 01:32:32,985 --> 01:32:36,484
- You're a big fish, and
- the sharks are smelling blood.
- 1856
- 01:32:36,484 --> 01:32:39,585
- Oh, also, you should
- prepare yourself
- 1857
- 01:32:39,585 --> 01:32:41,750
- that, uh, Megan and Taylor
- 1858
- 01:32:41,750 --> 01:32:43,751
- will be testifying
- to a completely different
- 1859
- 01:32:43,751 --> 01:32:45,951
- set of facts than the ones
- you've described to me.
- 1860
- 01:32:45,951 --> 01:32:49,609
- - They were my friends.
- - Emphasis on "were."
- 1861
- 01:32:53,318 --> 01:32:56,583
- Okay, Abby, I'm going to
- ask you a series of questions.
- 1862
- 01:32:56,583 --> 01:32:59,517
- Um, I want you to take
- all the time you need
- 1863
- 01:32:59,517 --> 01:33:02,749
- to answer honestly and
- think about them all you want.
- 1864
- 01:33:02,749 --> 01:33:04,449
- - Okay.
- - Okay.
- 1865
- 01:33:04,449 --> 01:33:06,616
- Have you ever revealed
- the identities of the doctors
- 1866
- 01:33:06,616 --> 01:33:08,715
- performing abortions
- at the facility
- 1867
- 01:33:08,715 --> 01:33:10,416
- either to Shawn or anyone else?
- 1868
- 01:33:10,416 --> 01:33:11,915
- - No.
- - No.
- 1869
- 01:33:11,915 --> 01:33:13,883
- You ever removed confidential
- patient information
- 1870
- 01:33:13,883 --> 01:33:16,949
- from the building, either
- physically or in digital form?
- 1871
- 01:33:16,949 --> 01:33:19,583
- No.
- 1872
- 01:33:19,583 --> 01:33:22,547
- Have you ever taken or removed
- anything from the building?
- 1873
- 01:33:22,547 --> 01:33:25,048
- Just an old vacuum cleaner.
- 1874
- 01:33:25,048 --> 01:33:27,049
- Uh, but the one
- at the clinic broke,
- 1875
- 01:33:27,049 --> 01:33:28,947
- and we had a tight budget
- for equipment,
- 1876
- 01:33:28,947 --> 01:33:30,881
- so I brought mine from home.
- 1877
- 01:33:30,881 --> 01:33:33,782
- But when I quit,
- I wasn't gonna leave it there.
- 1878
- 01:33:33,782 --> 01:33:37,114
- That and a plant,
- but my mom gave me the plant.
- 1879
- 01:33:37,114 --> 01:33:38,848
- Okay. (laughs)
- 1880
- 01:33:38,848 --> 01:33:42,113
- Uh, did you threaten
- Megan or Taylor
- 1881
- 01:33:42,113 --> 01:33:44,913
- if they didn't look to resign
- from Planned Parenthood?
- 1882
- 01:33:44,913 --> 01:33:47,469
- No. How could I? I wasn't even
- their boss anymore.
- 1883
- 01:33:48,712 --> 01:33:50,513
- Which brings me to my last
- 1884
- 01:33:50,513 --> 01:33:53,314
- and most important question
- for you.
- 1885
- 01:33:53,314 --> 01:33:55,479
- What aren't you telling me?
- 1886
- 01:33:55,479 --> 01:33:58,113
- - Nothing.
- - You sure?
- 1887
- 01:33:58,113 --> 01:34:00,711
- Because if there's something
- that you're hiding,
- 1888
- 01:34:00,711 --> 01:34:03,078
- I can guarantee
- it will come out in court.
- 1889
- 01:34:03,078 --> 01:34:06,780
- So, if there's anything
- that I need to know,
- 1890
- 01:34:06,780 --> 01:34:09,478
- now is the time to tell me
- while we still have the time
- 1891
- 01:34:09,478 --> 01:34:10,967
- to figure out
- how to deal with it.
- 1892
- 01:34:15,644 --> 01:34:19,679
- (sighs) A while back,
- curiosity got the best of me,
- 1893
- 01:34:19,679 --> 01:34:21,877
- and I pulled
- my own patient file.
- 1894
- 01:34:21,877 --> 01:34:24,344
- I couldn't resist.
- 1895
- 01:34:24,344 --> 01:34:25,878
- How come?
- 1896
- 01:34:25,878 --> 01:34:28,502
- I needed to see my baby.
- 1897
- 01:34:29,744 --> 01:34:31,644
- Is that a problem?
- 1898
- 01:34:31,644 --> 01:34:33,476
- Sure.
- 1899
- 01:34:33,476 --> 01:34:35,876
- For Planned Parenthood if they
- try to make an issue out of it.
- 1900
- 01:34:35,876 --> 01:34:37,744
- I mean, trying to paint her
