My brother in law gave up his job of driving a shuttle car to take people to appointments (some local, some a good distance away) because some of his clients were going to a city four hours away to get abortions. One time, he wasn’t told where the client was going, they just gave him an address. He thought it was a regular doctor’s office until he saw the sign outside. He apologized to the young woman (she was with an older woman, either her mother or aunt) but told her he could not, in conscience, drop her off there. He told her he would take her to another location (regular doctor’s office) nearby, but he would not drop her off at the clinic. She agreed to the offer, though it meant walking a few blocks. He called his boss and ripped into him for not telling him where he was going, though they had a previous agreement to NOT give my BIL such assignments. There happened to be another driver in the city who was going to “dead head” back, so he was told to pick up the client and drive her back. My BIL ended up forfeiting an entire day’s wages and ended up quitting not long afterward. He could not see himself as a disinterested party in these types of assignments. He prayed for that young woman the whole way home and I think he still wonders if she went through with it.
