Work Won’t Love You Back: How Devotion to Our Jobs Keeps Us Exploited, Exhausted, and Alone
by Sarah Jaffe, Bold Type Books, January 26, 2021
Page 166
But it wasn’t [Cecile] Richards the burgeoning union had to negotiate with – it was the leadership at the regional affiliate. And that leadership hired a law firm, Fisher Phillips, that on its website trumpets its services in “union avoidance.”
[Ashley] Brink was surprised at the intensity of the anti-union campaign from her bosses. They held captive audience meetings – a common anti-union tactic, where part of the workday is carved out for all staff to attend a lecture on the potential downsides of a union. At PPRM [Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains], Brink noted, that meant holding time where patients wouldn’t be scheduled in order to have the meetings. “They were claiming that there would be pay freezes because it takes so long to bargain to get pay changes, that it was going to negatively impact our relationships with our managers, that it was going to negatively affect patient care,” she said. But Brink felt the union would improve patient care, because the workers would no longer be burned out, exhausted and worried about how to pay the bills.

Court Documents:
Smith – Original Complaint (filed February 6, 2013)
Smith – Amended Complaint and Jury Demand (filed June 20, 2014)
Settled.
Excerpt from Amended Complaint:
SUMMARY OF THE CASE
- This case seeks economic and non-economic damages arising from the Defendants’ multiple failures to inquire about how a thirteen-year-old girl became pregnant, or what her relationship was to the adult man who brought her to Defendants for an abortion, despite numerous opportunities to speak to the girl alone; their failures to report known or suspected sexual abuse despite numerous indications that the man had sexually abused the girl; and administration of a long-term and undetectable form of birth control to the girl despite her fear of needles, all of which enabled the man to continue his years of sexual abuse of the girl without discovery or consequence.
Note:
In July of 2012, the adult man was charged with two counts of felony sexual abuse and, in January of 2013, he was sentenced to 28 years in prison.

Article from The Colorado Springs Gazette:
Planned Parenthood doctor accused of forcing abortion
by Kassondra Cloos, February 27, 2013
Court document:
CO Colorado Springs Byer 2013 Malpractice Complaint
Excerpt:
- Upon Plaintiff’s condition that she would receive anesthesia for pain through an I.V. for which Plaintiff would pay an additional fee, Plaintiff agreed to the surgical abortion. . . .
- However, before the I.V. was inserted and before the Plaintiff received any anesthesia, the Planned Parenthood Doctor [name unknown] began the procedure . . .
- At this time, Plaintiff immediately told the Planned Parenthood Doctor to stop and that she did not want to go through with the abortion procedure because she had not received any anesthetic. Plaintiff also informed . . . that she believed this to be a sign she should not go through with the abortion. The Planned Parenthood Doctor did not stop, despite Plaintiff’s request . . .
- The Planned Parenthood Doctor then proceeded to use the vacuum machines while Plaintiff was fully awake and had not received any anesthetic despite their agreement. Plaintiff was forced to feel the full pain of the procedure against her will. . . .
- Upon Plaintiff’s return home, it was evident the pain medication did not work . . . After approximately two (2) days Plaintiff just barely had enough strength to make it to the Emergency Room at Penrose Hospital . . .
- The medical staff at Penrose informed Plaintiff she needed an emergency D&C . . .
- Plaintiff remained in the hospital for approximately two (2) to four (4) days due to her weakness from fever and loss of blood. Most D&C patients leave the same day, which is evidence of Plaintiff’s severe injury from Planned Parenthood’s negligent procedure.

Excerpt:
9. On or about August 4th, 2016, [Plaintiff’s mother] entered into a Planned Parenthood facility to seek out personal care.
10. Accompanying her on this visit was her 18-month-old daughter . . . While [Plaintiff’s mother] was asked to answer intake questions by a staff member of Planned Parenthood, her daughter picked up and quickly started to ingest liquid material that was negligently left out near an exam table, easily accessible and within the reach of a small child.
11. The ingested substance, later identified as Potassium Hydroxide, is toxic, potentially lethal, and is an extremely basic substance that is used, amongst other purposes, to conduct abortions.
12. Prior to August 4th, 2016, Plaintiff was a healthy toddler with no physical, mental or social problems.
13. As a direct and proximate cause of Defendants negligence in handling and story a lethal chemical . . . Plaintiff suffered severe burns to her mouth, esophagus and stomach lining amongst other burn related injuries, causing her to have surgical intervention and a prolonged stay in the intensive care unit. In addition, Plaintiff is now forced to participate in extensive ongoing medical care, which will continue into the future.
14. Because of her injuries, Plaintiff receives sustenance through a feeding tube and has significant psychological damage.
