DescriptionAbby Johnson told the KBTX television station: "I just thought I can't do this anymore, and it was just like a flash that hit me, and I thought that's it.

She now supports the Coalition For Life, an anti-abortion group down the road from her old pro-choice group.

Volunteers from Coalition For Life regularly pray outside the offices of Planned Parenthood.

Miss Johnson and the Coalition For Life have been issued with a temporary restraining order following her defection.

A spokesman for Planned Parenthood said: "We regret being forced to turn to the courts to protect the safety and confidentiality of our clients and staff. However, in this instance it is absolutely necessary."

A court hearing about the order takes place on Nov 10.
