That is not being "dismissed," she just refused his offer of a ride to somewhere she did not want to go.
Even if she specifically ordered him to leave, it would not matter. Since the cab might not arrive, he was CLEARLY morally obligated to wait until it did. He failed to do so.
Please provide me with the names and criminal records of the other people at that shop, the people you seem to trust to take good care of the mother. Oh, that's right, you have no idea who else was there, or whether the mother was actually safe. Neither did the driver, and neither did the mother.
He abandoned her. If you don't like that word, say "He left her somewhere that he did not know was safe, without confirming that she would find safe transportation to her chosen destination."
As for demonizing the driver, in fact I have sympathy for him. I can easily understand his disgust. I just think he chose the wrong things to do.
Twist the words however you want, it’s not going to make the facts go away.
The driver acted within his conscience and with honor towards some one with whom he disagreed.
All of your “WHAT IF’S, COULD HAVE’S, MIGHT HAVE’S” are nothing but BS.
The driver fulfilled his MORAL OBLIGATION to this woman by explaining to her the mistake she was making and the grief she would have to live with the rest of her life.
Your insinuation that all the people at the station and the shop where the driver dropped her off could be psychopathic serial killers shows more about your state of mind than anything else.
When I offer something to another person, whether a ride or a drink, and they tell me in no uncertain terms “NO THANKS”, I consider myself to have been refused or “DISMISSED”.
He did not “ABANDON” her, he let her off in what most people would consider a safe location and was even enough of a gentleman to wait while she completed her phone calls.
Just pull your head out of your ass, because it must be hard to breath up there.
What kind of snowflake liberal contrivance is this? Names and criminal records? Are you serious? The mother and her infant was actually safer there than an abortion clinic? Did she ask him to wait? No. Did she at all indicate she wanted him to wait no longer, versus the opposite by firmly saying "No" to his offer to return? No. Would his waiting cause her more discomfort? Evidently yes (she expressed that she felt unsafe with him). In other words, get lost.
Do drivers usually leave people at places that they do not know the names and criminal records of the people there, or whether for the passenger for sure would be safe? Yes. Did the women want a ride to a very dangerous place? Yes! Did the driver attempt to prevent that and bring her to her safe home (though you never know. He did not know the names and criminal records of the people there either).
Did she have access to obtain help including the police? Yes. Was she even a mother in the sense of giving birth? No. Was she instead an anti-mother planning to commit murderer? Yes. So here you are making it look like the driver endangered her by doing what people do all the time, leaving passengers at places they they do not know or have names and criminal records of. Yet she actually wanted to go to a very dangerous place, at least as concerns her own "passenger" in her "vehicle," who she had forcibly removed.
So just who is the criminal here who was neglectful of human life and who was the one who acted heroically by trying to persuade the murderer not to go thru with her plans, and then finally refusing to be complicit in the murder, risking at least his job in so doing, but leaving her at a place of business and phone service, yet still waiting 15 minutes till effectively being told to leave?
As for demonizing the driver, in fact I have sympathy for him. I can easily understand his disgust. So you can easily "understand" his disgust yet all you can do is find fault with the driver who compassionately sought to prevent murder and her from doing what she would regret. Do you really believe the women was the criminal in planning to commit murder, with herself being the dangerous person going to a dangerous place at least as regards her baby?
I just think he chose the wrong things to do.
"Wrong things?" What else who you want to indict him for besides not waiting for this dangerous criminal to get a ride to a place of murder? Do you even believe abortion is murder, and thus that this women was intent on committing it, despite the attempts by the driver to prevent it, and to get her safely home?
Its time for you to answer some questions Mr. Prosecutor of good deeds.
