Dr. Haywood Robinson and his now-deceased spouse Dr. Noreen Johnson began their relationship as a married couple performing abortions. Collectively, they went by way of a conversion and have become pro-life advocates.
Johnson died in August 2021 as a consequence of problems from the coronavirus. And now, Robinson has revealed a e-book they co-authored telling their story: “The Scalpel and the Soul: Our Radical Transformation as Husband and Spouse Abortion Medical doctors.”
“We began out as girlfriend-boyfriend who had been doing abortions moonlighting as residents,” he stated in an interview with The Every day Sign. She was a resident and an OB-GYN, and he was a resident at Martin Luther King Jr. Outpatient Middle, previously often called Martin Luther King Jr./Drew Medical Middle in Los Angeles, Robinson stated.
“We used to work after hours and weekends in varied abortion services,” he stated. “It’s simple cash. It’s actually not enjoyable to do. I feel, in your coronary heart, you realize it’s unsuitable. However the love of cash is the foundation of all evil.”
From California, he stated, they moved to Texas. They weren’t performing many abortions, however they nonetheless “believed in it” and nonetheless referred girls for abortions, “which is rather like you might be doing it your self.”
In March 1986, Robinson turned “a believer” in God by way of a dramatic non secular reawakening. That conversion instilled in each Robinson and Johnson a agency need to guard the unborn and to battle the pro-abortion motion.
“One of many first issues that the Lord did for us was to make us conscious of our previous and abortion,” he stated. “As a result of what He wished to do was to take us from darkness to mild, from abortion suppliers to warriors within the pro-life motion.”

Requested what he would say if given the chance to talk to an present abortionist, Robinson emphasised: “I’m not God. I’m not the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the one one that can convict a person, a sin, be it abortion, prostitution, human trafficking.”
Robinson suggested chatting with an abortionist “like they’re an everyday particular person” to like, relatively than somebody committing horrific sins: “Now we have to talk the reality in love, if you’re given the chance.”
Abortionists are used to assaults that painting them as monsters or “not as human beings,” he stated. So, as a substitute, he would attempt to get them to open up by sitting down and asking them, “How are you doing? How lengthy have you ever been doing this?”
These form of questions will trigger the abortionist to guage his or her life, Robinson urged, “to find how empty and horrible and evil that their life is,” including:
As a result of for those who actually begin to study your self as an abortionist, it’s actually not a reasonably image.
That’s one of many issues he has found writing “The Scalpel and the Soul” with Johnson.
“As we compile these things, the notes and experiences, it’s form of a sweeping up a grimy room. You don’t know that there’s that a lot grime in there till you begin sweeping it up. And also you begin seeing, ‘Properly, I did that, and I did that … .’”
Robinson referenced pro-life activist Abby Johnson, who previously labored in a Deliberate Parenthood clinic and helped with abortions.
“She was actually overcome by the love,” he stated, including, “The Bible says love covers a mess of sin. It disarms sin many instances. We’re not God. We’re not passing out punishment. There’s methods to share the reality. However you’ve acquired to share the reality in love.”
