From Darkness to Redemption: The Inspiring Journey of a Former Abortionist turned Life Advocate

October 11, 2023

Hear the transforming story of the gospel in the life of Dr. Robinson as God moved him from doing abortions to now a strong proponent and advocate of life.


Dr. Haywood Robinson has always been driven by helping people live in the healthiest way possible. But when he didn’t have a personal relationship with Jesus, he thought that serving others involved performing abortions. His story shows how a relationship with Jesus and knowledge about the medical world can fundamentally change how one views abortion. During his residency, Dr. Robinson received abortion training while on the obstetrics and gynecology service. Discussion regarding the ethics of these procedures or instruction regarding alternatives was not part of the training. Performing abortion requires so little effort, everyone was doing it, and they didn’t seem to have a problem with it, so why should he? His experience provided the opportunity for him to meet Noreen Johnson, who later would become his wife. As their relationship progressed, “moonlighting” together in abortion clinics was commonplace. Money became a mutual motivator, especially since the pay was substantial and it was quite evident how abortion training could be profitable.
