The lawsuit was filed Monday in federal court in Atlanta. It is the third job-discrimination case brought against Planned Parenthood Southeast in that court in the past six weeks. The plaintiffs say they were dismissed in late September last year, about two weeks after submitting internal complaints.

Among the plaintiffs are Kaylah Oates-Marable, the organization’s former Georgia state director; Hannah Davis, a former public policy and organizing manager; and Jessica Swanson, a former director of education. The lawsuit alleges violations of the federal Civil Rights Act.

The former employees say conservative leaders opposed abortion-related work and programs supporting transgender people, and that staff who raised concerns about treatment and policy changes faced retaliation. Those claims have not been established in court.

Planned Parenthood Southeast said it is committed to providing compassionate, affordable and accessible reproductive health care and to creating a workplace where employees feel valued and respected. As of Wednesday, the organization had not formally responded to the lawsuit. Planned Parenthood Federation of America was also named as a defendant.

The case follows other complaints from former staff about workplace conditions and leadership at the regional affiliate. For employees and patients across Georgia and the Southeast, the lawsuits put scrutiny on both how a major reproductive-health provider treats its workers and how it maintains services amid internal disputes.
