总部位于亚特兰大的计划生育协会分会被六名前员工起诉，这些员工称他们因反对新领导层放弃为堕胎权和LGBTQ议题发声而被解雇。
An Atlanta-based chapter of Planned Parenthood has been sued by six former employees who say they were fired for speaking out against new leadership that backed away from advocacy for abortion rights and LGBTQ issues.
周一向亚特兰大联邦法院提交的诉状称，计划生育协会东南分会（PPSE）于2024年安插了一个新的执行领导团队，该团队劝阻员工专注于堕胎问题，并寻求削减对跨性别群体的服务和外联工作。
The complaint filed Monday in Atlanta federal court claims that Planned Parenthood Southeast installed a new executive leadership team in 2024 that discouraged staff from focusing on abortion and sought to curtail services and outreach to the transgender community.
原告指控，这些变动发生在该组织本应因2022年美国最高法院推翻“罗诉韦德案”判决而加强倡导工作之际。该1973年判决曾使堕胎在全国范围内合法化。
The plaintiffs alleged the changes came at a time when the group should have been stepping up its advocacy in the wake of the 2022 US Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that legalized abortion nationwide.
诉讼称，PPSE时任首席执行官Mairo Akpose和前执行董事Karen Rene非法报复原告，因他们提出异议而将其解雇。
Instead, PPSE's then-CEO, Mairo Akpose, and former Executive Director Karen Rene illegally retaliated against the plaintiffs by terminating them for pushing back, the lawsuit claims.
诉状将计划生育协会美国联合会（全国总会）列为被告，称其对PPSE的人事事务（包括招聘和日常管理）行使重大控制权。
The complaint names Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the national organization, as a defendant, claiming it exercises significant control over PPSE's personnel affairs including hiring and day-to-day management.
原告之一、前组织者Kim Luong于上月首次提起诉讼。本周提交的修正诉状增加了五名原告，其中包括PPSE佐治亚州州长Kaylah Oates-Marable，以及在公共政策、教育和传播领域工作的员工。
One of the plaintiffs, former organizer Kim Luong, initially filed the lawsuit last month. The amended complaint filed this week adds five plaintiffs, including Kaylah Oates-Marable, who was PPSE's Georgia state director, and staffers who worked in public policy, education, and communications.
PPSE在一份声明中表示，该组织相信每个人都应有权自主做出医疗决定，包括是否继续妊娠，并持续为LGBTQ群体提供高质量护理。
PPSE in a statement said the group believes that every person deserves to make their own healthcare decisions, including whether to continue a pregnancy, and has continued to provide high-quality care to the LGBTQ community.
该组织表示：“我们致力于营造一个专业的工作环境，让团队每一位成员都感到受重视和受尊重。”计划生育协会美国联合会周三未立即回应置评请求。
"We strive to create a professional work environment where every member of our team feels valued and respected," the group said. Planned Parenthood Federation of America did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Wednesday.
Akpose 上周单独起诉 PPSE，指控她因是黑人且为虔诚的基督徒，受到与其他高管不同的待遇，最终于去年 12 月被迫离职。该组织尚未对其诉讼作出回应。Akpose 未立即回应置评请求。
Akpose separately sued PPSE last week alleging that she was treated differently from other executives and ultimately forced out last December as she is Black and a practicing Christian. The organization has not responded to her lawsuit. Akpose did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Akpose 于 2024 年出任 PPSE 首席执行官，此前曾担任该组织“首席人员与文化官”一年。根据新诉状，在唐纳德·特朗普总统赢得 2024 年大选后，Akpose 告诉高级员工，她的目标之一是重塑 PPSE 的使命，使其不再以堕胎权为核心。她据称曾对 Oates-Marable 等人表示：“我们谈论堕胎太多了”，尽管当时佐治亚州立法机构正在审议一项将无一例外禁止所有堕胎的法案。佐治亚州目前禁止怀孕六周后堕胎，仅有有限例外。
Akpose was named CEO of PPSE in 2024 after serving for a year as the organization's "chief people and culture officer." According to the new lawsuit, after President Donald Trump won the 2024 election, Akpose told senior staffers that one of her goals was to rebrand PPSE's mission as less centered on abortion rights. She allegedly told Oates-Marable and others that “we talk about abortion too much," even as the Georgia legislature was considering a bill that would have banned all abortions without exception. Georgia bans abortion after six weeks with limited exceptions.
特朗普政府通过削减拨款、寻求剥夺该组织关键的医疗补助资金等措施，将计划生育协会作为打击目标。政府还发起激进行动，限制跨性别者的法律保护和医疗服务。
The Trump administration has targeted Planned Parenthood by measures that include cutting grants, and seeking to deprive the group of crucial Medicaid funding. The administration has also waged an aggressive campaign to limit legal protections and healthcare services for transgender people.
原告称，Akpose 要求他们停止在针对州议员的“评分卡”中纳入 LGBTQ 政策议题，并不得参与骄傲月主题活动。
The plaintiffs said that Akpose ordered them to stop including LGBTQ policy issues on a "score card" for state legislators and not to participate in Pride-themed events.
五名原告表示，他们在 2025 年 7 月至 9 月间被裁员或解雇，此前曾向 Akpose 等人就优先事项的转变提出担忧。
Five of the plaintiffs say they were laid off or fired between July and September 2025 after raising concerns to Akpose and others about the shift in priorities.
该组织前传播与市场营销副总裁 Jaylen Black 称，她于去年 12 月被解雇，此前因在一场音乐会发生意外受伤，申请合理便利被拒。
Jaylen Black, who was the group's vice president of communications and marketing, said she was fired last December after being denied accommodations for injuries she sustained from an accident at a concert.
诉状称，原告的异议属于《1964 年民权法案》第七章保护的活动，指控 PPSE 和全国组织实施报复。Black 还指控因残疾遭受歧视。原告正在寻求未指明数额的补偿性赔偿和惩罚性赔偿。
The lawsuit claims the plaintiffs' objections amounted to protected activity under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and accuses PPSE and the national organization of retaliation. Black also alleges she was discriminated against because of a disability.
该案为 Black v. Planned Parenthood Southeast，审理法院为美国佐治亚州北区联邦地区法院，案号 1:26-cv-05458。
The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. The case is Black v. Planned Parenthood Southeast, US District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, No. 1:26-cv-05458.
