Based on my research, Paula Wendt is Clinic Director at the Meadowbrook Women’s Clinic in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Author has also fought in many lawsuits against Minnesota law that required from parents consent for minor’s abortion; she believes this invaded the privacy and jeopardized the health of pregnant minors.
