Texas judge rejects Planned Parenthood bid to gag former clinic director
November 12, 2009
A Texas court has rejected an effort by Planned Parenthood to impose a restraining order on a woman who formerly directed an abortion clinic there, but has now become a pro-life activist. The court found no reason to believe that Abby Johnson had taken confidential files from the Planned Parenthood clinic that she directed, or that she was likely to divulge patients' records. Johnson has said that her superiors at Planned Parenthood were encouraging her to promote abortions in order to bring more revenue for the organization. A restraining order would have compromised Johnson's ability to continue telling that story.
