The Stanton Revolution to take down Planned Parenthood
From the article: "We will not just COMPETE. We will not simply EXPOSE. We will not only DEFUND. It's time to REPLACE Planned Parenthood," reads one set of marketing materials that promotes what Swindell has called the "Stanton Revolution," while another has the simpler "Replace Planned Parenthood" as its motto.
Brandy, a patient at Stanton Healthcare in Boise, Idaho, gets an ultrasound.
I was flipping through brochures in the conference room at Stanton Healthcare in Boise, Idaho, when its founder, Brandi Swindell, cracked the door open. "Want to talk to a patient?" she asked, her blonde hair framing the joyful smile on her face. "She just found out she's having twins!"
I followed Swindell into the exam room, where the nurse practitioner was moving the ultrasound machine away from the table and back into the corner. Brandy (she asked her last name not be used), 26, was sitting up on the exam table, her glance moving constantly to me, to Swindell, to the nurse, and repeatedly back to the large monitor on the wall where her ultrasound image was being projected. There, the image of two small sacs — the very first visual clue of a baby growing —was clear and undeniable.
"I'm shocked. I kind of want to cry a little bit," Brandy told me, her eyes wide. "I just didn't really expect any … I expected one. You know, like a normal appointment. When I saw two, it was a shock. I'm still in shock."
