Former Abortion Clinic Worker Explains Why She’s Now Pro-Life, Fights Pro-Abortion Law

In the 1980s, Kathy Sparks Lesnoff found a job working at an abortion clinic in Illinois. The clinic usually only performed first-trimester abortions, but one day, it made an exception for a woman who came in for an abortion at 23 weeks of gestation.

The procedure “was the first time I had seen a 23-week abortion,” Lesnoff says.

After the nearly hourlong procedure, she realized she could no longer support abortion.

“God revealed to me in that one abortion that whether these women are six weeks, eight weeks, 10 weeks, or 23 weeks, they were all babies, and I was killing babies,” Lesnoff says.

Lesnoff is now the president and CEO of Mosaic Pregnancy & Health Centers in Illinois, an organization that provides support and resources to women facing unplanned or crisis pregnancies.

She joins “Problematic Women” to share her pro-life story and why she is standing up against Illinois legislation that would require all pregnancy centers to refer for abortions.
