Johnson recounts what it means to live after assault and navigate once-safe spaces now haunted by pain. The speaker talks to old friends, wakes from troubling dreams, has physically intimate moments, even watches television. Yet none of these moments are free from the haunting presence of trauma. With shifting yet repetitive form, sharp imagery, and mesmerizing vulnerability, Opportunity Cost seeks not to be healed, but to be heard.

Abby Johnson thought she knew what mercy was when she ushered desperate women toward abortion as the director of a Planned Parenthood facility. She was wrong. It wasn't until she understood the blood on her hands that she personally experienced the power of God's fierce yet tender mercy to transform her life. But she never imagined what could happen once she allowed that very mercy to infiltrate her life and spill out into a hurting world.In Fierce Mercy, Abby calls you to experience a transformation of your own. Against the backdrop of her first decade involved in the pro-life movement, Abby helps you discover God's unrestrained mercy at work in your own life and take steps toward becoming a channel of that life-changing mercy in the world around you. She shows you how to model God's mercy, freely offer mercy to those who seem undeserving, respond with mercy when others err or offend, and bear witness to God's unrestrained compassion so that others may know him.This is Abby's challenge to you: dare to do what is hard, what is right, and what is good. And do all of it in love.

Abby Johnson sa upp sig från sitt jobb i oktober 2009. Den vardagliga handlingen blev snabbt en nationell nyhet i USA. Abby var chef för en abortklinik i Texas, men efter att hon assisterat vid en abort för första gången bytte hon sida och förenade sig med Pro Life-rörelsen. Vad var det som hände i kliniken som fick denna Planned Parenthood-föreståndare och ”Årets medarbetare” att ta ett sådant drastiskt steg? Och hur reagerade hennes tidigare arbetsgivare på hennes tvära avsked? På ett utlämnande sätt berättar Abby sin historia i Oplanerat, och som läsare får vi hänga med på ett drama med möten på liv och död, en rättslig tvist och andlig förvandling. I den här uppdaterade utgåvan sprider Abbys unika perspektiv från båda sidor av abortklinikens staket ljus och medkänsla till en personligt och politiskt känslig fråga. För alla som bryr sig om debatten – vare sig du är abortförespråkare eller abortmotståndare – och för alla som vill hjälpa gravida kvinnor i kris är Oplanerat en måste-bok. Tidigare utgiven med namnet "Drabbad av verkligheten". Utökad med nytt kapitel.

This book narrates the harrowing and life-changing experiences of former abortion clinic workers, including those of the author, who once directed abortion services at a large Planned Parenthood clinic in Texas. These individuals, whose names have been changed to protect their identities, left their jobs in the abortion industry after experiencing a change of heart. They have come forward with their stories, not for fame or notoriety, but to shed light on the reality of abortion. They want their stories to change the lives of others for the better.These stories are difficult to read, because an abortion is an act of violence, harming not only the obvious victim--the unborn child-- but also the mother, the father, the doctor, and everyone else involved. But these stories also offer hope, for they show that anyone, no matter what part the person has played in an abortion, can start anew, can make amends for past mistakes. They demonstrate that the first step on that journey is telling the truth, as these courageous individuals do in these pages."Those of us that have worked in the abortion industry all live with a constant burden. We can't let our burden slide off of our shoulders; it is what keeps us on fire. It reminds us of why we fight so hard. We have seen death and evil in a way that most haven't--and we participated. But we are forgiven. He who has been forgiven much, loves much. And we love a lot. I am eagerly awaiting the day when we can call all abortionists and clinic workers former and repentant abortion providers." -- Abby Johnson, author
