(NewsBusters<\/a>) A former abortion<\/a> 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: \u201cget out.\u201d Her story focuses on one of the most-underreported major crimes in years.<\/p>\n

\u00a0In Washington, D.C. for the March for Life<\/a>, former abortion worker Adrienne Moton spoke with MRC Culture during a Jan. 18 press conference with And Then There Were None<\/a> (ATTWN). Led by former Planned Parenthood director Abby Johnson, the nonprofit helps clinic workers leave the abortion industry. While Moton didn\u2019t work at Planned Parenthood, her place of employment is known by many in the pro-life movement as the \u201chouse of horrors,\u201d or, the clinic of Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For her part, Moton served<\/a> 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 \u201ctold the court Moton understood what she was doing at the clinic was wrong, unlike other clinic employees.\u201d<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Among other things, Gosnell was convicted May 2013 <\/a>of first-degree murder of three babies (while the Grand Jury report<\/a>, The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> has noted<\/a>, \u201calleges Gosnell killed hundreds of infants by sticking scissors into their necks\u201d). But the trial, in which witnesses like Moton described<\/a> baby abortion survivors \u201cswimming” in toilets \u201cto get out,\u201d attracted<\/a> a mere 12 \u2013 15 reporters. Only after 56 days, with pressure from both politicians and the public, did the all three broadcast networks report<\/a> on Gosnell.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Because of the lack of media coverage, filmmaker husband-and-wife team Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney created a movie<\/a> \u2013\u00a0and wrote a book<\/a> \u2013 of the case.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
At the Family Research Council\u2019s Jan. 19 ProLifeCon, Abby Johnson told<\/a> the audience that Moton was an answered prayer. When Johnson first heard of Gosnell\u2019s \u201cunspeakable crimes,\u201d she wrote \u201cevery person that had been on trial and was in prison for the crimes that they were involved with in Gosnell\u2019s clinic.\u201d<\/div>\n

That\u2019s because, Johnson said, she was \u201cappalled\u201d by some pro-lifers who wished that those involved would die or \u201cgo to hell.\u201d Instead, she prayed that, one day, she would \u201cbe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Three years later, her phone rang. It was Moton.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Moton shared her story with MRC Culture. When she first began at Gosnell\u2019s clinic, she intended to \u201cjust volunteer.\u201d She had recently left her husband and needed \u201cincome, to make a couple of dollars.\u201d Video below.<\/em><\/div>\n
