Ex-Gosnell Employee Tells Nightmare Story of Exiting Abortion Industry

“I had to learn how to sleep in the dark again,” she admitted. 
“It takes a toll on you mentally."

A former abortion worker is sharing her testimony, from storing aborted babies in milk jugs to learning to sleep in the dark again, in order to tell others like her: “get out.” Her story focuses on one of the most-underreported major crimes in years.

In Washington, D.C. for the March for Life, former abortion worker Adrienne Moton spoke with MRC Culture during a Jan. 18 press conference with And Then There Were None (ATTWN). Led by former Planned Parenthood director Abby Johnson, the nonprofit helps clinic workers leave the abortion industry. While Moton didn’t work at Planned Parenthood, her place of employment is known by many in the pro-life movement as the “house of horrors,” or, the clinic of Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell.

For her part, Moton served two-and-a-half years in prison and three years probation after working under Gosnell. According to a local NBC affiliate, Assistant District Attorney Joanne Pescatore “told the court Moton understood what she was doing at the clinic was wrong, unlike other clinic employees.”

Among other things, Gosnell was convicted May 2013 of first-degree murder of three babies (while the Grand Jury report, The Hollywood Reporter has noted, “alleges Gosnell killed hundreds of infants by sticking scissors into their necks”). 

But the trial, in which witnesses like Moton described baby abortion survivors “swimming" in toilets “to get out,” attracted a mere 12 – 15 reporters. Only after 56 days, with pressure from both politicians and the public, did the all three broadcast networks report on Gosnell.

Because of the lack of media coverage, filmmaker husband-and-wife team Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney created a movie – and wrote a book – of the case.

At the Family Research Council’s Jan. 19 ProLifeCon, Abby Johnson told the audience that Moton was an answered prayer. When Johnson first heard of Gosnell’s “unspeakable crimes,” she wrote “every person that had been on trial and was in prison for the crimes that they were involved with in Gosnell’s clinic.”

That’s because, Johnson said, she was “appalled” by some pro-lifers who wished that those involved would die or “go to hell.” Instead, she prayed that, one day, she would “be able to speak to one of them, to let them know that what was being said of them was not indicative of the entire pro-life movement.”

Three years later, her phone rang. It was Moton.

Moton shared her story with MRC Culture. When she first began at Gosnell’s clinic, she intended to “just volunteer.” She had recently left her husband and needed “income, to make a couple of dollars.” Video below.
