I’m sure I will be pilloried for this here
I’ve had a number of Girl employees over the decades
A couple of decades ago I had a woman worked for me...an older woman who had nobody really
Anyhow she had a very brief sexual affair I think with another of my employees who was married....I don’t think she had much sex
She got pregnant. Unbeknownst to me....though later I did recall she was always drinking tonic water
She was in her 40s and worked fairly close to me since I was owner boss
She decided to have an abortion and of course didn’t tell me with all my kids and my rather open disclosure to anyone who listens that I’m pro gun pro God pro South and anti abortion...viscerally
Anyhow she got a ride to the clinic....only one in Nashville....about four or five hours later in the evening she called me squalling that she was abandoned at such and such place and she was humiliated and the staff wouldn’t help her and so on.and she hates calling me of all people but she had no one else and so on....apparently she had no money with her...she was hysterical basically
She was left outside alone bleeding with her vagina packed with gauze and sobbing out of her head and it was cold .
Anyone can imagine I had to go get her and carry her to her house...my wife who is anti abortion too insisted that this superseded our beliefs
Hell I would have anyhow
She cried the whole time driving home and lamented her salvation and incredibly despondent and so forth
I gave her a week off
We never discussed it....though she wrote my wife about it thanking us
Btw she was a good honest worker who never stole from me
God throws us curves sometimes...
My wife and I once had a full blown AIDS patient with dementia show up on our doorstep..
The most socially right wing people he knew....but he also knew we’d take him in even if he knew we abhorred his lifestyle
That driver should have the right to refuse before the fact...carrying someone to an abortion
At the point she called you were showing her compassion in her moment of regret and terror.
She is upset at him because she regrets the choices she made and is lashing out. I get uber no longer keeping him on as a driver but I feel he did the right thing here, he followed his conscience. He did not want to be a party to this act of killing.
These things do happen!
So sad that woman didn’t talk to anyone and get a different perspective on her pregnancy. Somehow in her forties she became pregnant and would have had a child. Now thanks bizarre ideation that stems from our hedonistic culture, she instead had her baby killed. Doubt she will ever experience the joy of being a mother and how different and better her life would have been. You did absolutely nothing wrong. I’ll bet your only regret is that you did not know she was pregnant. Otherwise you probably would have offered her assistance and would have given her that better, life affirming perspective.
