Former Planned Parenthood worker shares journey back to choosing life

Ramona Trevino, the outreach director for 40 Days for Life, spoke to parishioners at Saint Peter Parish on Oct. 14 regarding her past employment at Planned Parenthood. Trevino addressed an audience of 40 people, including Bishop Joseph Williams, about her transition from managing an abortion referral facility in Sherman, Texas, to her current work in the pro-life movement.

Trevino described working at the facility for four years starting in 2007. She stated that she initially believed the organization provided necessary healthcare to women in poverty and adopted the view that women have a right to choose. She noted that while she was a baptized Catholic, she prioritized the job to support her husband and two children.

Trevino said her perspective changed after seeing young girls seek contraception and abortion referrals. She explained that she eventually struggled with the reality of the procedures and the life in the womb, describing a period where she suppressed her beliefs to maintain her employment.
