According to the Dallas Morning News, (Abortion rights activist resigns as clinic director; Taft cites differences with Routh Street owner, 2/2/1995 ), a Planned Parenthood of Dallas and Northeast Texas employee told the press they were not going to refer abortion patients to abortion clinic owner Charlotte Taft because she stated:
“We were hiding . . . some pieces of the truth about abortion that were threatening….Abortion “is a kind of killing, and most women seeking abortion know that.”
Planned Parenthood of Dallas and Northeast Texas, put off by Taft’s honesty, stopped referring patients to her.
Though the group’s president, Jim Roderick, acknowledged the leadership Ms. Taft had provided to abortion rights supporters in Dallas he added,
“I took great exception to statements about the pro-choice community not being completely honest with women. We did have great philosophical differences with her, not only in the statements she made . . . but with some of the changes in how they went about serving clients we were referring to them.”
On November 2, 2006, The Dallas Observer ran a story entitled, Charlotte’s Web, stated that on January 30, 1995
This prompted the paper to wonder:
“Did Taft resign voluntarily or was she forced out?”
The paper noted how Taft made some highly inflammatory remarks about the pro-choice movement in the local press, saying that the movement hadn’t been honest with women. She even called abortion “a kind of killing.”
The paper asked,
“Had Taft played right into the hands of anti-abortion zealots, adopting their very language as her own? Had she so betrayed the pro-choice community that she had to be sacrificed for the sake of themovement?”
