Planned Parenthood: The Pink Exposed
Sue Thayer
Tuesday, 04 Apr 2017 at 7:00 pm – 1148 Gerdin Business Building
Sue Thayer was an Iowa Planned Parenthood manager for 18 years before a transformative experience made her an abortion opponent. Objecting to a controversial teleconferencing system that allows doctors to dispense abortion pills to patients in rural clinics, Thayer's concerns eventually turned into a 2011 lawsuit against Planned Parenthood of the Heartland. She led Storm Lake’s first ever 40 Days for Life campaign at the clinic she supervised for many years and is currently in litigation. Thayer has been a foster and adoptive parent for 27 years, and is founder and Director of Cornerstone for Life Pregnancy Resource Center.Cosponsored By:
