A former Planned Parenthood employee who was fired after she spoke against the abortion provider’s practices—and who also underwent a reversion to her Catholic faith—is the keynote speaker for this year’s Michigan March for Life on November 6.

An initial list of speakers includes Mayra Rodriguez, who worked at Planned Parenthood for nearly 20 years but was fired after she raised concerns over the practices at the abortion provider, a wrongful termination that was upheld by a jury, according to information provided on her website.

Rodriguez is now a pro-life advocate and “credits the faith of those praying on the sidewalk and the power of Divine Mercy for her return to her Catholic faith.”

Others listed on the Michigan March for Life website include Detroit Archbishop Edward Weisenburger, who is expected to give the opening prayer at the rally. Former television anchor Chuck Gaidica—who states on his website that he returned home to the Catholic Church—is also listed as a speaker, as are officials representing the Knights of Columbus, Right to Life of Michigan, and March for Life.
