Danger in the Heartland
Planned Parenthood of Greater Iowa (PPGI) opened a clinic in Storm Lake, Iowa in 1985. It was popular with young women, mainly due to the fact that it was staffed with female nurse practitioners plus it operated on a sliding fee scale which made it affordable for low income families. In April 1991, I applied to work at the clinic as a Family Planning Assistant and was thrilled to get an interview. The interviewer asked me if any of my friends would think less of me for working there. At the time, I had no idea what she was talking about. I got the job, started work and loved it. Within a couple of weeks, the Manager’s position opened. I again applied and was interviewed. This time I was asked what I thought about abortion and I told her I believed it was murder. She disagreed with me, saying that “the fetus wasn’t viable” so it really wasn’t ending a life. Surprisingly, I was offered the position of center manager.
