Abby Johnson Unscripted

Introducing Abby Johnson Unscripted Aug 27, 2026

I've spent years telling pieces of my story: my time at Planned Parenthood, my decision to quit, the healing that came after.

But there's more I haven't said out loud — the doubts I still wrestle with, the faith that carries me through, and what life actually looks like on the other side of the abortion industry.

So, I'm starting something new. No script. No talking points. Just me, telling you the truth.

Introducing Unscripted. New episodes every Tuesday coming soon.

When ‘Women’s Healthcare’ Harms Women: A Nurse Exposes the Reality Inside Abortion Clinics Jan 08, 2026

In this sobering episode of Politely Rude, Abby is joined by Noemi Padilla, a registered nurse with over 30 years of experience — including four years working inside a high-volume abortion clinic in Tampa, Florida.

Noemi shares her firsthand testimony of how she entered the abortion industry believing she was helping women, only to witness systemic neglect, coercion, and abuse behind closed doors. She recounts the lack of medical standards, the profit-driven culture, and the ways women were treated when no one was watching — realities she says are not isolated incidents, but widespread and protected.

This conversation explores how the abortion industry recruits, silences, and shields itself from accountability, even when women are harmed. Noemi also reflects on the moment that shattered her justifications, the guilt of complicity, and why she ultimately chose to walk away and speak out.

This episode is difficult, necessary, and deeply revealing — a testimony that has become a call for truth, accountability, and genuine care for women.
