Advisor on Abortion Facility Operations

Mayra Rodriguez is a former Planned Parenthood Clinic Manager in Arizona who blew the whistle on egregious deficiencies and mismanagement at her affiliate. She worked for Planned Parenthood in Arizona for 17 years, rising to the position of managing several affiliates, and  even received Planned Parenthood’s Employee of the Year award in 2016. When she was abruptly fired in October 2017, she filed a wrongful termination lawsuit, claiming her employer unjustly fired her because she was reporting instances of critical safety and health-related violations including incomplete abortions, falsification of patient records, illegal conduct, unreported statutory rape, severe injuries by abortion and high complication rates with a specific abortionist. In August of 2019, a jury of her peers unanimously awarded her $3 million in damages done by Planned Parenthood.
