Journalist Fired for Pro-Life Stance
A Nebraska NBC television station fired its news director, Melanie Standiford, after she collected signatures at church for a pro-life petition aimed at making her hometown of Curtis a sanctuary city for the unborn.
On the day she was fired, Standiford recounted that her boss told her she was being cut from the company for “practicing partisan politics.”
“I said in response, ‘partisan politics’? I don’t believe being pro-life is partisan,’” she recalled.
