All About Assembly Speaker Series June 2026

Exploring the Role of Assembly in the Abortion Debate

The All About Assembly Speaker Series continues our tradition of hosting engaging and relevant gatherings. This year, our speaker programs will focus on our right to peaceably assemble.

Abortion is one of the most pivotal and divisive topics of our time.  The debate over abortion often frames our political divide and it shapes our social discourse.

The National Liberty Museum will bring together leading voices in the Pro-Life and Pro-Choice for a one-hour, moderated discussion.

Abby Johnson

Abby Johnson: Abby Johnson went to work for Planned Parenthood believing she would be helping women. After working her way up from volunteer to director of one of their facilities and even winning Planned Parenthood’s employee of the year award, Abby had a surprising change of heart after witnessing a live ultrasound guided abortion procedure. It became clear in that moment that abortion did not provide the freedom she had promised so many women in those counseling rooms. Abortion only causes harm, destruction, and devastation. Upon that realization, Abby left her job in the abortion industry and has been sharing her experiences ever since. Abby’s greatest blessing is her vocation of wife and mother. She lives in Texas with her husband and 8 beautiful children. Read Abby’s full bio here.
