You won't believe why a Planned Parenthood spokeswoman knelt before an abortion clinic

On Good Friday, Julie Woodley, a Planned Parenthood volunteer spokeswoman and recipient of two abortions, donned a wedding dress and knelt outside an abortion clinic in Florida to deliver what she calls a "love revolution."

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Woodley's speaking skills led her to become a Planned Parenthood advocate on college campuses and she reported the training included how to "convince people to have abortions."
Though Woodley's past includes the murder of two of her children and a Planned Parenthood backing, she has since become a licensed therapist, filmmaker and speaker who founded Restoring the Heart Ministries.
The ministry helps people who struggle with different traumas in the United States and Uganda and serves as a way Woodley can follow God's plan for her life."I know it sounds crazy," Woodley admitted, "I feel like God is calling me to the heart of the battle. ... Its not aggression, or bullying that will win this battle. I am not demeaning what others are called to do. I have been on the other side. They [Planned Parenthood] are not the enemy - the devil is just using them."
To combat her past, and to encourage women who may not understand the forms of trauma abortions bring, Woodley spoke against the practice outside the Boca Raton Planned Parenthood building and sang "Give Me Jesus," by Fernando Ortega during this year's Good Friday.
She wore a white dress, carried an Easter basket full of pink and blue plastic eggs, knelt at a wooden altar and posed by a sign reading, "I regret my 2 abortions I love you both mom and baby."
Woodley was recorded asking that people pray for her and the girls they meet on Good Friday.She delivered a brief prayer "that God would save those babies and the girls will think twice about what they're doing, and the Grace from the Love of God will come through us as we love on these girls. Thank you, thank you."
After her performance, and joining in prayer with two other pro-life advocates, Woodley placed two roses and baby booties outside the clinic's door in hopes of dissuading women from following through with their abortions.
Woodley habitually reaches out to women outside Planned Parenthood buildings and is currently working on a 10-part video series to help counselors lead people "through the forgiveness journey after an abortion."
The series promo, titled "Into My Arms," can be found here.
