According to the article, the driver not only kicked her out of the car, but took her out of their way to a remote location not on the direct route to the destination, and told her that she wouldn’t be able to get another Uber from that spot.

Yes but the driver offered to drive her home. Just not to the abortion clinic.

The article does not say he "kicked her out of the car," nor that he "took her out of their way to a remote location not on the direct route to the destination." You seem to be confabulating.

It does say -- in the other iteration of this story which was on Free Republic --- that he took her to a place where she could make phone calls, a location where there was an antique shop and a gas station with a pay phone. They were beyond cell phone range.

After he waited around another 10-15 minutes, and she TWICE refused his offer to take her back home, the other article says her cab arrived 15 minutes later. So he didn't kick her out, as you say: he took her to a place where she could make phone calls, repeatedly offered her a ride back home, and then left when she refused help.

Anything beyond that, and she probably would have brought charges against him for stalking. The article does say she got him fired and now she's trying to search around and find something she can charge him with.

So she's not only not grateful for his attempt to spare her and her child from the violence of abortion; she's vindictive.

I read in another article that he dropped her off at some type of retail business, and had to wait for a short while for another ride. I thought uber drivers were basically self employed. They can refuse a rare if they want, but their destination is agreed to up front.

He did NOT *kick her out*.

He stopped at a gas station and antique store and waited while she called for help.

He offered to take her back home and she REFUSED.

I'm not buying much of the new story.

Reminds me of the Uber driver who dumped a rider in the middle of nowhere because he had on a MAGA hat and was a Trump voter.

That is not true at all. He was driving her to her destination, and decided he couldn’t. He told her he would either drive her back to the city, or leave her off where they were. He WARNED her that there probably no Uber that would pick her up at the location he had stopped.

STill a dick move — he should have immediately refused her, not taken her half way. Once you pick up the person, and start driving them, I feel like you have obligations — just like once a woman allows sperm to impregnate her eggs, and allows the embryo to hitch a ride in her uterus, she has accepted a certain obligation (like you can drive past a person bleeding on the side of the road, but if you pick them up, you can’t drive them 10 minutes and then throw them out of the car again).
