Yeah. Do check out the pro-abortion stances of your employer. As I suppose Ms. Stanek makes sure her column doesn't appear in any publication that supports abortion rights?
It's easier said than done. If we expect health care professionals to refuse to work with pro-abortion hospitals, then the same rules should apply to all of us. Does your employer support abortion rights, cover abortion with insurance, contribute to Planned Parenthood? If so, should you quit your job?
There is also something to be said for being "in the world but not of the world". Can we make a bigger contribution by quietly converting those around us who are pro-abortion by mingling with them and helping them see the light, or by rejecting them and staying away? I honestly don't know but I think the policy advocated by Ms. Stanek ought to apply both to the goose and the gander.
I still belong to the AMA and the American Academy of Family Physicians, despite their postitions on post-coital or morning after pills. I rejoined the AMA after a couple of years out, as a matter of fact.
I sure wasn't making a difference on the outside and the AMA continued to present themselves as my voice in politics, the media, and medical policy.
However, within the organization, I hope to be "salt and light." I may not have made much of a dent, yet, but I will continue to read the literature, speak up and propose new policies at both education and business meetings. Turn a mind here, convince a heart, there. That's all any of us can do.
