Why Planned Parenthood was ordered to pay $3 million to a whistleblower

An Arizona jury unanimously awarded a Planned Parenthood whistleblower $3 million in damages two years after she sued the abortion provider for wrongful termination.

Mayra Rodriguez had worked for Planned Parenthood as a health center administrator and despite receiving the Employee of the Year Award, Rodriguez was fired for reporting on illegal activities and negligent conduct that endangered the lives of patients. The Arizona jury’s ruling in favor of Rodriguez should provide hope that the stories of other former Planned Parenthood workers can at last be heard, and that the truth surrounding the unethical conduct of the notorious abortion provider can at last be exposed.
