Marva Sadler, a longtime Whole Woman’s Health senior clinical director who became a key figure in the abortion provider’s expansion from Texas into New Mexico, says she has lost her job after 18 years and does not intend to return to the same line of work.
Marva Sadler relocated to Albuquerque after Whole Woman’s Health closed its Texas abortion facilities and helped establish the organization’s New Mexico operation.
In a recent public Facebook post, Sadler described losing her job as a “bad breakup,” writing:
losing my job after 18 years really was harder than I wanted to admit.”
Days later, while describing cleaning out her closet and getting rid of her medical scrubs, Sadler wrote:
I absolutely do not intend to return to work in that capacity again.”
Sadler did not identify her employer in the posts or explain the circumstances surrounding her job loss. However, an extensive public record documents her nearly two-decade career with Whole Woman’s Health and her senior role within the organization.
WHO IS MARVA SADLER? FROM TEXAS TO NEW MEXICO
Marva Sadler held significant clinical and operational responsibilities within Whole Woman’s Health for years.
In federal litigation challenging Texas Senate Bill 8, Sadler was identified as Senior Director of Clinical Services for Whole Woman’s Health and Whole Woman’s Health Alliance. Court filings stated that she oversaw clinical operations at the organizations’ Texas clinics and was personally involved in aspects of patient care.
Sadler was also present during a pivotal period for Whole Woman’s Health in Texas. In August 2021, as the state’s heartbeat law was about to take effect, Whole Woman’s Health publicly identified Sadler as its Senior Director of Clinical Services and reported that she was working at its Fort Worth facility as staff continued seeing patients ahead of the law’s midnight effective time.
Following the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs decision, Whole Woman’s Health closed its Texas abortion facilities and expanded into New Mexico. The organization subsequently documented equipment and supplies from its closed Texas facilities being moved into Albuquerque and identified Sadler as its Senior Director of Clinical Services and a new Albuquerque resident.
When Whole Woman’s Health of New Mexico opened on March 23, 2023, Sadler was prominently involved in announcing the new facility. Whole Woman’s Health again identified her as Senior Director of Clinical Services and quoted her describing the Albuquerque location as the organization’s “next chapter.” The organization said more than $300,000 had been raised to establish the facility.
Independent reporting further documented Sadler’s lengthy tenure. In 2024, The Wall Street Journal reported that she had worked at Whole Woman’s Health clinics in Texas for 17 years before moving to Albuquerque and photographed her preparing a procedure room at the New Mexico facility.
Taken together, the public record shows that Sadler was not simply an employee at the Albuquerque facility. She held senior clinical responsibilities, oversaw operations in Texas, represented Whole Woman’s Health publicly and relocated to Albuquerque as the organization established its New Mexico operation.
ANNOUNCEMENT COMES ONE YEAR AFTER AFNM’S WATER REPORT
Sadler’s announcement comes approximately one year after Abortion Free New Mexico documented Whole Woman’s Health of New Mexico remaining open to arriving patients while the Albuquerque abortion facility lacked running water.
On August 16, 2025, AFNM’s team was outside the facility as part of its ongoing presence at the Albuquerque location when Water Authority personnel arrived at the property. AFNM reported that abortion patients continued entering the facility during that period. Photographs taken at the scene show Sadler and her husband working at the property while efforts were underway to get the water back on.
The incident raised questions about compliance with New Mexico facility requirements concerning safe and sanitary water and hot and cold running water.
Sadler has not publicly stated why she lost her job or whether her departure is related to conditions at the Albuquerque facility.
For nearly two decades, Marva Sadler was deeply involved in Whole Woman’s Health’s clinical operations and became a key figure in bringing its abortion operation from Texas to New Mexico. Now, after 18 years, Sadler says she has lost her job and does not intend to return to this work. Her departure marks a significant change for an organization she helped lead for nearly two decades,” stated Tara Shaver of Abortion Free New Mexico.
Since Whole Woman’s Health opened in Albuquerque, our team has consistently prayed for Marva, reached out to her with the love of Christ, and encouraged her to leave the abortion industry. We sincerely hope this unexpected change becomes an opportunity for a new beginning—one where she can walk away from the abortion industry for good.
— Tara Shaver, Leader, Abortion Free New Mexico
Sadler’s public statements do not say whether she was fired, laid off, whether her position was eliminated, or whether her departure will affect Whole Woman’s Health’s Albuquerque operations.
What is clear from the public record is that after approximately 18 years with Whole Woman’s Health—including years in senior clinical leadership and a central role in the organization’s move into New Mexico—Sadler says that chapter of her career is over.

Yes, I am.
That’s the truth.
And just to be perfectly clear - the other verse you reference - Ezekiel 2:1 - it’s ‘ben adam’ there - exactly the same as in Psalm 146. So, again, *NOT* the ‘bar enas’ figure of Daniel 7.
Which is an important point. How is what she did any worse than what Paul did? I *do not* think Paul cowered before God when he went to meet Him. Because Paul was covered in the Blood of Christ. *IF* this woman fully and honestly seeks the same, she will have no need to cower.
If she doesn’t fully and honestly seek Christ, and she did NONE of what we’re looking at here, she’d *still* need to cower - and absolutely no less.
Let’s get this straight.
The Book of Daniel was written in two languages - Hebrew and Aramaic.
Chapters 1 to 2:4 are in Hebrew; 2:4 to chapter 7 is in Aramaic; and chapters 8 to 12 are in Hebrew. Both languages are closely related in the Semitic family of languages. They are close enough to be considered sister languages.
The Hebrew word, ‘ben,’ and the Aramaic word, ‘bar,’ both mean ‘son.’ When a 13-year-old Jewish boy becomes a man he goes through his ‘bar mitzvah,’ which is a rite of passage in order to become an adult in the Jewish community.
‘Bar mitzvah’ means ‘son of a commandment.” To be more exact it means a Jewish son who is now legally considered a man and is subject to the Torah rules, and can be considered part of a minyan (prayer quorum), and ever lead prayer services. Before this age Jewish parents are considered responsible for their son’s actions.
You could easily call a ‘bar mitzvah’ a ‘ben mitzvah’ and it would mean exactly the same thing. Traditionally, the Aramaic word, ‘bar,’ has been used instead of the Hebrew, ‘ben.’
I don’t know where you get this “enabled son(bar)” context versus ‘plain old son. (ben).’
Enabled to do what exactly?
“No - it says *kebar* in Daniel 7.”
In the Aramaic it says, כְּבַ֥ר אֱנָ֖שׁ or transliterated “k’bar anash” which means ‘like a man.’
If it was Hebrew it would say, כְּבַ֥ן אָדָם ‘k’ben adam.’ and means exactly the same thing.
Maybe I am mis-understanding you.
I think there is clear textual argument for the difference you’re saying doesn’t exist, but again that *ISN’T* my main point. You point to Tovia Singer. Singer *EXPLICITLY* states that the figure in Daniel 7 *IS* in his words “King Messiah” - a literal human Jewish Messiah yet to come. You and I and Singer can disagree all day on whether or not that is the correct interpretation of the figure in Daniel 7 - but what’s clear in the extreme is that when ‘ben adam’ is used in Pslam 146 and when ‘ben adam’ is used in Ezekiel 2 it is explicitly *NOT* referring to King Messiah, if I let you define the Daniel 7 character that way for argument’s sake (though I agree that’s a correct title for Jesus, which you obviously don’t).
No matter *how* you slice it - everyone agrees that ‘Son of Man’ capitalized that way refers to the figure in Daniel 7 - and that is *NOT* who Psalm 146 nor Ezekiel 2 is referring to - so using it that way is misleading.
Yes, but he makes sure to tell his viewers that this Messiah of the Redemption is going to be a mortal man with an earthly father who will be a teacher and a judge. He will not be God nor will be worshiped as such. It will, also, be his first time here - not his second.
Christianity, OTOH, says the opposite.
Son of Man can also mean ‘son of a man’ which means either way, that this man or messiah figure is mortal with a mortal father, which Christianity does not ascribe to for your messiah god, Jesus.

“My question got pulled when the other thread on the church in Taybeh got pulled - so I’ll ask it here: why do you misquote scripture in your tagline?”
Some around here are okay with Jews killing Catholics, bombing their churches. Jews can do no wrong even though every time a Jew sneezes he breaks the Ten Commandments.
Oh and since we are on one of my abortion threads...
The inventor of the birth control pill was a Jew
The inventor of RU486. Was a Jew
The founders of NARAL
NARAL originally stood for the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws. It later changed its name to the National Abortion Rights Action League and subsequently NARAL Pro-Choice America before rebranding as Reproductive Freedom for All in 2023.
Lawrence Lader, Ernesta Drinker Ballard, Bernard Nathanson, and Betty Friedan were their original founders in 1969. Oh yes this is what God’s chosen were doing, promoting BABY KILLING.
For the record Bernard Nathanson repented, became prolife and a Catholic.
Do you all hear me now or do I need to post more examples? I can do it all day you know.
