About this sermon
A newscaster in Nebraska says she was fired for circulating a pro-life petition. Melanie Standiford was anchor and news director at an NBC affiliate in North Platte, Nebraska. She was fired last month after participating in an initiative to make her home town a Sanctuary City for the Unborn. She says she was not on the clock at the time and was fired just hours after a local newspaper reported on her pro-life activity. Melanie Standiford joins to explain what happened and what the issue was as she has been very involved in her Church and has worked on pro-life issues before. She discusses whether having been in the business for many years, if she had ever had a complaint regarding her coverage, in particular when it comes to abortion issues. The station manager put out a statement about Standiford's firing, saying, "KNOP's news personnel are not permitted, at any time and regardless of beliefs, to actively engage in any political activity for any candidate, party, or ballot initiative." Standiford shares whether she agreed to these terms when she was hired and whether she signed anything. She tells us whether she has any regrets.
