Gloria S WalkerGloria Walker grew up in a very liberal family. In fact, when a friend was pregnant in the 1950's she picked her up after she had a safe abortion by Dr. Ruth Barnett and drove her to her mother's house for recovery. Dr Barnett was a Portland abortionst from the 1930's until 1956, when she was convicted and incarcerated for her 'illegal' practice. In the 1960's and 1970's as a professional counselor, Ms Walker had occasion to work with pregnant girls, within a school system which disallowed any mention of abortion as a choice. In retirement, Ms Walker supported and volunteered with a group called Pathfinders, which provided schooling for pregnant teenagers. She was also an active member of Planned Parenthood. She has an MA in Counseling from Portland State University. Read More Read Less
