Johnson related that many abortionists who practice today are the same ones who committed back alley abortions when it was illegal. &#8220;We didn&#8217;t trust them then, in the back allies, but we trust them now?&#8221; Johnson questioned.<\/p>\n<p>She also explained, &#8220;It&#8217;s what I didn&#8217;t know that led me in the doors of Planned Parenthood.&#8221; The abortion giant continually tells women that they need Planned Parenthood, and even that it is practically the only place they can go, but Planned Parenthood clinics are <a href=\"\/news\/if-planned-parenthood-loses-funding-heres-a-map-of-health-clinics-that-could-take-its-place\/\">outnumbered over 20 to 1<\/a> by federally qualified health centers. And, as Johnson mentions, this doesn&#8217;t even include hospitals and county health offices that provide <a href=\"\/news\/will-poor-women-go-health-care-defund-planned-parenthood-everywhere\/\">free or low-cost care<\/a> to low-income women and their families (all without committing abortions).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_75020\" style=\"width: 463px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/getyourcare.org\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-75020\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-75020\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-75020\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveactionnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/MAP-453x700.jpg\" alt=\"A photo of the clinics that outnumber Planned Parenthood 20 to 1.\" width=\"453\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/MAP-453x700.jpg 453w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/MAP-194x300.jpg 194w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/MAP.jpg 663w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-75020\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A photo of the clinics that outnumber Planned Parenthood 20 to 1.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Johnson also discussed how abortion is absolutely not only &#8220;3%&#8221; of Planned Parenthood&#8217;s services.
