"They actually had an opportunity to do something, to help the people they say they're there to serve. They failed to do that." -Abby Johnson

...Abby Johnson, founder of the pro-life advocacy organization And Then There Were None, traveled Saturday to the Catholic Charities Respite Center in McAllen, Texas, where, in partnership with the secular, pro-life group New Wave Feminists, she and about a dozen volunteers unloaded an 18-wheeler filled with more than $120,000 worth of supplies for migrant mothers and their children...

...Perhaps most upsetting about the experience, Johnson recalled, was the fact there were a number of Democratic lawmakers at the respite center Saturday for a press appearance, and none of them stopped by to help, despite a personal invitation from the pro-life activist whose personal journey away from her career as a Planned Parenthood executive and into pro-life ministry was recently chronicled in the Pure Flix movie "Unplanned"...

...Johnson singled out Gonzalez in particular, describing the lawmaker's behavior as "smug." She said he waved at the volunteers, telling them he'd "send someone" to help. No one, according to Johnson, ever came.

"He's from Texas; these are his people, and he couldn't be bothered to help," she said.
