So apparently, a director at a Planned Parenthood location has resigned after realizing that abortions, you know, kill babies and stuff. And personally, I think that’s wonderful news; however, according to the video, Planned Parenthood is now SUING her. Say whaaa?
I don’t get it. They’re suing her for not wanting to be involved with abortions anymore? I wish the newscast had more information, but alas, it’s only got a few scant details. If you all hear more scoop, post it in the comments!
Can you really enter into a contract that forces you to work some place when you don’t want to?
A contract is one thing, a conscience is altogether another. It is central to who we are, but the O Gang wants to remove any and all aspects of that core of our Being and replace it with total obedience to the state. Thus the administration’s move to force medical professionals to perform abortions despite any scruples they may hold against such things and in direct contravention of their oath to do no harm. And, of course, Planned Parenthood is right at the front of the movement to eradicate our sense of shame over such horrid practices, so they can move on to their next piece of work: Margaret Sanger’s government enforced eugenics. Which prompts the question: Why is an African-American president doing Sanger’s work, when the object of her eugenics program was the eradication of his race?
They can’t stand the thought of being disagreed with, can they?
I hope this is just the first step in a long series of revelations for her. What an amazing thought – that someone so deeply entrenched in that business can have a change of heart. And they say the age of miracles is over…
the law suit is asking the courts to prevent her from using any names or information of clients of planned parenthood in an effort to protect their right to privacy for making their choice to have an abortion or not.
the religious group down the street apparently got the better of her emotions and “converted” her.
personally,i believe it’s the woman’s choice, and no one else’s.
and, since i consider myself as a conservative (politically), i do not believe in government sticking their noses into other’s personal affairs. why would i be a hypocrite now and want the government to get involved? that just doesn’t make any sense to complain about “big government” one day, then demand they get involved the next day.
the decision to have an abortion is a tough one for any woman to make and it should be between her and her own conscience.
I would think Planned Parenthood would have a nice confidentiality agreement in place for any hires. A lawsuit seems a little excessive.
I don’t think it’s fair (unless you have a link that shows otherwise) to assume a religious group “got the better of her” – perhaps she just genuinely had a change of heart and sought out a group which reflected her beliefs.
I believe in limited government – but limited government still has a responsibility to protect the safety of its citizens. We just don’t happen to agree on whether unborn children count as citizens or not.
Glad to see someone have a change of heart over this. Mock, I’m with you on this. A child is a child. There are times when the mother’s life is at stake, or the poor baby just wouldn’t survive otherwise.
A religious group did not get the better of her-She saw an abortion performed on ultra sound, and in her words “saw the baby crumple”. THAT would (I hope) get the better of anyone.
I used to say that I was pro choice-which for me meant I personally would never have an abortion, but the government shouldn’t interfere. then I met my husband who is adopted. Thank goodness he was not killed before coming into this world!
I wonder what would happen to the planet if we applied abortion to all the various forms of life it holds? What would happen if we just starting snuffing out all the beginnings of new life?
I also find it a tad hypocritical that the leftists have more regard for other forms of life but none for their own species. That simply is defecating in one’s own bed then rolling in it.
“We just don’t happen to agree on whether unborn children count as citizens or not.”
well, playing the devil’s advocate here, our constitution recognizes its citizens as being “natural born”. i guess, technically, no one is actually a citizen until they are born.
I guess that eliminates all c-section kids too, then.
well, mock, after the c-section and the baby is pulled out, technically they’re born.
for the record: i’m not an advocate of abortions, altho i’ve met many people who should have considered it because they were too stupid to have sex. yea, i know…”it’s not the baby’s fault”.
but, we’re breeding generation(s) that thinks having kids is no big deal.
“for the record: i’m not an advocate of abortions, altho i’ve met many people who should have considered it because they were too stupid to have sex. yea, i know…”it’s not the baby’s fault”.”
sometimes two negatives make a positive…I have also known seemingly smart people have some really dumb kids so I don’t think we should be using that as a criteria. If you want your life to be respected, respect life.
i wasn’t blaming or calling the kids dumb….i was calling the supposed adults dumb for having sex without taking precautions, then whine about how expensive it is raising a kid or two.
i mean, c’mon…did they think having kids was like owning a doll?
mga: You have point there…perhaps they did think they were raising a doll.
With the mulitudes of various forms of birth control out there now there just isn’t any excuse for abortion.
“With the multitudes of various forms of birth control out there now there just isn’t any excuse for abortion.”
well, i have to agree with you there, and if money is a problem planned parenthood does assist in birth control.
other than ignorance, there’s no excuse to be pregnant, unless, of course, you plan it.
Well there are cases like a friend of mine who was in an abusive relationship, was on birth control steadily and got pregnant for some reason. Of course we know there is that minute chance of getting pregnant on the birth control pill, but she, like most women didn’t think it would happen. She ended up having an abortion because the idea of having to be tied to this mentally and physically abusive man for the rest of her life was frightening. It actually gave her the courage to get out of that relationship.
So of course, I would love for there to be no abortions ever. But, it isn’t always as simple as if you take birth control you will never get pregnant. My friend was in a situation that would have literally endangered her, and that child’s life. Hopefully we can just focus on educating people more and more, and realize that situations like these are rarely ever black and white.
Thanks mga for your comments, I appreciate you seeing both sides of it
Sarah I got pregnant on birth control…but that was twenty years ago when there were only three forms of birth control available, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Ahem…I hate to say it but perhaps your friend should of been more careful about her choices in men and her choices with men.
Oh btw…I had my baby, she is in college.
Good for you Laurel, I am glad that you were able to make it work for you. Unfortunately saying “maybe she should have been more careful about her choices in men” is victim blaming, and its not a good argument. Like I said, she realized and did get out of the relationship. But having grown up seeing my mother in an abusive relationship, I assure you its not as easy as you are making it sound. Just because you say it so cut and dry, doesn’t mean that it is. There is a heavy amount of mental manipulation that occurs that renders an otherwise smart person almost defenseless at times. These women often fear for their lives, and sometimes lose them to abusive men. Please don’t trivialize the pain that goes along with these relationships. Just because you were able to do well with your situation doesn’t mean that others have the same ability.
Here is the other side of the story. She actually is being sued for possibly haven stolen confidential information about the abortion provider. In case you forgot, one was killed very recently and this is a very large threat. I encourage you all to read the article for you to see the hypocrisy of this particular employee. I don’t care what side you are on, she is a hypocrite.

I’ve been trying to post a link to salon.com that has a VERY different version of what is going down with this employee. The lawsuit is because she is accused of stealing confidential information on the employees. And in the wake of an abortion provider’s murder, this could be very dangerous. Don’t know why it won’t let me post but I encourage you all to read up on it and see that this woman is really a hypocrite no matter what side you are on on this topic.
It was spamming you for some reason, Sarah! I unspammed your comment so it’d show up. Sometimes it gets freaky about links.
ANyway, thanks for the other side of the story – will check out the link!
ok, so I totally had a great idea for a onesie…
‘Even babies on the left like Chicks on the Right’
No?
Anyway… I JUST had my baby, that was unplanned and conceived out of wedlock (to a pro-choice Momma, no less).
But, I gotta say, I’m glad I kept her.
However, I hope this woman isn’t putting the medical providers in this clinic at risk… Two wrongs do not make a right. If you really want to put an end to abortion, more death is not the answer.
CONGRATS QC!!!! I love the onesie idea. Daisy – make it so.
I am going back to school to be a social worker. I know, a conservative social worker? Sounds like an oxymoron.
Anyway, I am curious, what is this woman’s education background? Even if she doesn’t have a social services degree of some type, she should know how crucial confidentiality is to patients and providers. According to the Salon article, she was violating many patient and provider privacy rights.
I seriously hope this is not the case, and is just a way that the left is spinning the story.
Sarah: If that is the case she deserves to be prosecuted. I have to agree you don’t compound a problem by making more bad decisions. thanks for the link.
QC: CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!
Sarah: Also I am not trivializing anyone’s pain. I know all about abuse and what goes with it. However it is bad decisions, one on top of the other, that lead one into getting into that situation to begin with. Everyone has a responsibility in about 99% of every given situation in life, including victims. It is not about blame, it is about accepting responsibility and learning from mistakes so they aren’t repeated. My heart goes out to the victim, but no one is totally truly innocent.
And as I said, you don’t fix a bad decision with another bad decision, and aborting a baby is aborting what is truly innocent. I also believe that if we had more respect for life at all levels you would see a lot less abuse in this world. We need to teach respect once again in this country.
