Haunted by the Remains of Aborted Babies, She Quit Planned Parenthood. Now She Saves Babies

Nallely Perez, a former Planned Parenthood worker haunted by the remains of aborted babies she once handled, quit her job at the nation’s largest abortion company after her husband’s faith transformation opened the door to healing and a calling to help women choose life instead.

Perez began her career at Planned Parenthood as a receptionist before advancing to the “POC” lab, where she strained and rinsed remains of little babies, and later assisted inside the abortion room.

She was promoted for her skills, drawn by good pay and bonuses that seemed to promise a better life.

Initially unmoved by the work, Perez recalled thinking of distressed patients: “What are they crying about? They’re the ones who made the appointment, aren’t they?”

The clinic rotated abortion procedure days to evade pro-life prayer groups outside, as managers were “spooked by the power in those prayers,” Perez said.

Her indifference shattered during an abortion on a 16-week pregnant woman, far beyond the clinic’s usual 12-week limit.

When the fully formed boy — with eyes, nose, mouth, ears, hands and fingers — emerged in a clear jar, Perez was stricken. The image haunted her dreams, his face lingering in her mind.

At about the same time, Perez’s troubled marriage turned around after her husband attended a church men’s retreat and recommitted to their family of four children. Seeking stability, Perez left Planned Parenthood to join his church and rebuild their home life, which had been marked by fights and instability.

At a women’s retreat, Perez confessed her past but felt no absolution, convinced she remained unforgiven despite knowing Christ’s mercy. Her breakthrough came at a conference screening clips from the movie “Unplanned,” depicting how abortion workers hid ultrasounds to keep women from seeing their babies and choosing life.

Perez broke down, realizing she had been “one of the workers keeping women from the truth” and had been “one of the Planned Parenthood faithfuls who encouraged girls to get abortions, making it sound like it was their only choice.”

Desperate for healing, Perez watched videos of former Planned Parenthood director Abby Johnson online and repeatedly emailed And Then There Were None, a ministry helping abortion workers leave the industry. She connected with the group in 2018 and attended her first healing retreat in 2019.

There, surrounded by former abortion workers offering non-judgmental love, Perez confronted her guilt.

In an exercise, she named the boy from the jar “Miguel” and addressed him: “Hello, Miguel,” she said to that lovely little boy that she couldn’t forget. “Can you ever forgive me?”

In a letter, she wrote: “Dear Miguel, I am very sorry for what I have done. I know you are in heaven right now, sitting on God’s lap. I hope to meet you one day. I am so sorry that I never spoke up for you and likely coerced your mother to do what she did. I love you. Please pray for me and your mom. Because of you, I promise to be a voice for the unborn.”

“At that retreat, everything I had swept under the carpet came out. It was extremely difficult to face what we did,” Perez said. “I don’t know how I participated in that. Thank God that I’m out.”

Perez pursued therapy through And Then There Were None counselors, managing flashbacks — including one while volunteering at a pregnancy center’s ultrasound room.

Her family flourished, with her husband fostering a peaceful home after ending his drinking.

Today, Perez serves as intake manager for LoveLine, a 24/7 crisis hotline under ProLove Ministries, founded by Johnson in 2019 to support women post-Roe v. Wade.

Bilingual in English and Spanish, Perez triages calls, counters Planned Parenthood’s tactics she once knew, and connects women to life-affirming resources. She networks with organizations, speaks at pro-life events, marches, and panels, and shares her story in the documentary “She Was Stronger.”

Her own pregnancies inform her work: Pregnant at 14, she chose life with her husband’s support, though she considered abortions for her third and fourth children, even scheduling one at Planned Parenthood before canceling.

Perez’s daughter, once influenced by pro-choice views, now recognizes abortion’s harm and has helped a friend choose life. Perez writes postcards urging clinic workers to quit and credits her husband’s faith leadership: “My husband loves what I do. Sometimes the work is heavy, and he always prays for me. I tell him, ‘You lead, I will happily follow you.’”

Perez’s journey, from handling the remains of the unborn to advocating for them, underscores a profound redemption through faith, as she now helps dismantle the lies she once perpetuated.

I’m sure every one of them is haunted by it, whether they admit it or not. But at least she is now doing something positive.

Yes, praise God..

There’s not enough soap and water in the world to wash such a stain from you.. but God can do it!

There is hope for every soul....

Worked at a packing plant that butchered 800-1,000 head a shift. They had two people per shift knocking them out & they rotated them every couple of weeks.

Sounds very similar to Abby Johnson’s testimony.

What a great story! Many more need to take her initiative & leave that industry. Imagine how many lives will possibly be saved & what some of those babies could have grown up to have been.
