PHOENIX — Planned Parenthood Arizona will have to pay a Phoenix woman $3 million as part of a wrongful termination lawsuit.

The former director claimed she was fired in 2017 for voicing concerns about unsafe and illegal practices happening in some of the organization's health centers.

Mayra Rodriguez worked as a director for health centers in Phoenix, Glendale, and Flagstaff. She says she voiced her concerns and eventually filed a lawsuit to protect the women who rely on Planned Parenthood for care.

So, this woman was the director for Phoenix (located near 15th Street and Camelback), Glendale, and Glendale?! There is no way she could have provided proper oversight for 3 centers that far apart, especially the one in Flag! Yet she still managed to find unsafe and illegal stuff. I suspect she was supposed to be some sort of PR token, but didn't go along with that program.

Not to sound callous, 3 Mill is a drop in the bucket to these baby killers.
Now what I really want to know is what action has been taken against those centers? Are they still open, if so what are the conditions?

She should be careful as the company she is suing is renowned for dismembering people into pieces and selling the parts.
