Former Planned Parenthood worker: They expected me to sell 40 abortions a day

In an article in “The American Feminist,” former abortion workers described what they saw in the abortion industry. One woman, identified as Annette, quit her work as a Planned Parenthood staffer when she became frustrated with Planned Parenthood’s insistence that she schedule 40 abortions per day.

Annette uses the term “emotional manipulation” to describe how Planned Parenthood counselors treated women coming in with unplanned pregnancies. According to the author of the article, Ellen J. Reich:

Annette’s reluctance to pressure vulnerable women into abortions brought her into conflict with her supervisors. She sent women home if they were unsure about having an abortion. But she got in trouble with the administrators of the abortion facility, who told her she was expected to schedule 40 abortions a day. Each facility worker was required to meet that number.

Annette became so frustrated that she decided to speak up at an April 2016 staff meeting. She asked the assembled Planned Parenthood officials:

Even though Planned Parenthood officials refused to use the word “quota,” it was clear to Annette that there was a quota for abortions. The requirement that 40 abortions be scheduled by each abortion “counselor” every day was clearly a quota, whether higher-ups at Planned Parenthood used the term or not.

Planned Parenthood’s Abortion Quotas

Annette quit right after the meeting and is now telling people the truth about Planned Parenthood. She says:
