Bus driver fired over Planned Parenthood assignment reaches settlement

Advertisements [?]

A settlement has been reached in a case involving a bus driver who was fired for refusing to drive two women to a Planned Parenthood clinic.

Edwin Graning, 63, has been awarded $21,000 from the Capital Area Rural Transportation System, or CARTS. He was driving for the public bus service when he refused the Planned Parenthood assignment.

Graning says it was for religious reasons. He is an ordained Christian minister. Graning said he was concerned that he might be transporting a client to undergo an abortion.
