Mayra Rodriguez is the former director of 3 Planned Parenthood clinics, was Planned Parenthood’s 2016 ‘Employee of the Year’, and is a courageous whistle blower who won a 2019 wrongful termination lawsuit against Planned Parenthood, and an award of $3 M in damages.

During her 17 years with Planned Parenthood, Mayra witnessed critical safety and health-related violations including incomplete abortions, falsification of patient records, illegal conduct, unreported statutory rape, women severely injured by abortion, and high complication rates with a particular abortionist. Mayra’s reports of these incidents were met with harassment, hostility, and termination.

In a 2019 lawsuit against the abortion giant, Mayra proved that Planned Parenthood exploited her undocumented status, endangered women, paid women less than men, and hid narcotics in her desk to silence and intimidate her. After only 3 hours of deliberation, a predominantly pro-choice jury unanimously found Planned Parenthood guilty for terminating Mayra’s employment in retaliation for her whistle blowing activity.

Today, Mayra is a powerful advocate against abortion, a champion for women and the unborn, and is driven to expose the truth behind Planned Parenthood's dangerous practices. Mayra credits the faith of those praying on the sidewalk and the Divine Mercy of God for her reversion to the Catholic faith and for the strength it took to stand against the abortion Goliath - and win.
