Willie Parker and the #MeToo Case That Split the Abortion-Rights Movement - The Atlantic
On March 25, 2019, the activist Candice Russell posted a 3,300-word essay on the website Medium... In prose that was by turns confusing and moving, Russell wrote that after a year and a half of casual texting and a handful of face-to-face meetups, she and Parker had met for dinner in Dallas in October 2016. She got drunk, while he, she discovered partway through the evening, stuck to tonic water and lime. Then they went back to his hotel room, where she continued to drink, and they had sex.
Russell did not write that she’d told Parker she didn’t want to sleep with him, but she strongly implied that, having downed “four martinis and an entire bottle of wine,” she was inebriated beyond any practical ability to consent. And, in a sweeping accusation that extended far beyond what had happened between the two of them in that hotel room, she called him a “predator.” She’d gradually learned, she wrote, that the way he’d treated her was part of a pattern. Rumors about his behavior swirled in “whispers [that] had become so loud they were more like shouts”—and unnamed movement leaders were refusing to expose him.
The leftwing media has presented the image that abortion workers and abortion doctors are just nice normal people championing a cause they believe in. But the reality, the abortion business is a nasty, vile, filthy business, and it's practitioners are nasty and vile too. Nice normal average people don't get into the killing business. So this story is no surprise. An abortion doctor who has zero respect for human life, by definition, will have zero qualms about treating a woman volunteer like a piece of disposable trash. It's also no great surprise an abortion activist who, by definition, has personal issues, would allow herself to get stinking drunk and consort with a doctor who kills babies. I suspect stories like this are FAR more common than the Soros-paid media lets on.
