Abby Johnson has always been fiercely determined to help women in need. This desire is what led her to a career with Planned Parenthood, our nation’s largest abortion provider, and caused her to flee the organization becoming an outspoken advocate for the pro-life movement. The media was and continues to be intensely interested in Abby’s story as well as her continued efforts to advocate for women, the unborn and clinic workers leaving the abortion industry. She is a frequently requested guest on Fox News, Victory Channel, and a variety of other shows. She is a best-selling author of Unplanned (also a major motion picture), The Walls Are Still Talking, and her most recent book, Fierce Mercy.

Today, Abby travels across the globe sharing her story, educating the public on pro-life issues, advocating for the unborn, testifying for new prolife legislation and reaching out to abortion clinic staff who still work in the clinics. She is the founder of And Then There Were None and ProLove Ministries. Abby lives in Texas with her husband and eight precious children.

Karen Herzog

Friends and Family Panel

After multiple encounters with hurting, broken women at her college campus who struggled with their abortion choices and recognizing the humanity of their unborn children, Karen thought there must be a way to lovingly reach out to women with life-affirming options without condemnation.  To her surprise, there were already people in the community doing just that, and she joined the first nationally coordinated 40 Days for Life campaign in prayer on the sidewalk where it all started in Bryan, Texas.

After graduating from Texas A&M University in 2009, Karen began working as the Business Manager for the Brazos Valley Coalition for Life.  A few months later, Planned Parenthood director Abby Johnson walked through the back door of the Coalition office with her declaration that she couldn’t work for Planned Parenthood any longer.  

Karen began working for Abby’s ministry And Then There Were None in 2013 as a Client Manager, helping to transition over 50 abortion workers out of the abortion industry.  Karen earned her MBA from Sul Ross State University and a certificate in Grant Writing from Austin Community College.  She also serves as the ministry’s Grant Writer, Content Writer, and Editor, and assists with Grant Writing and Consulting for ProLove Ministries and its affiliates.  She lives north of San Antonio with her husband Keith and four precious children, whom she teaches at home and enjoys adventures with.

Pam Whitehead is the Executive Director of Prolove Ministries, founded by Abby Johnson. Pam has an intense desire to see women collide with their destiny. She calls herself a “hope dealer”. She decided long ago that instead of focusing on what someone didn’t do for her, she would offer what she didn’t have to other women to see them empowered to prosper. 

Her life is a miracle. From conception, she was targeted for abortion. Her mother was just 15-years-old when she became pregnant by a man her father brought home after their release from prison in 1973. This was only the beginning of the darkness that seemed to follow her throughout childhood and into adult life. 

After years of abandonment, abuse and addiction, she found herself facing a crisis pregnancy with only one option: abortion. The details and devastation following this decision are horrific.

There was no relief and facing down her darkest hour while wondering what purpose she served, she began seeking truth. She found the truth in Jesus Christ. Her conversion is radical and so is her love for other women facing crisis like she did. 

Pam’s story can be found in the devotional “Planned from the Start” by Lorraine Vela that accompanies the major motion picture, Unplanned.
