Problem
Meet Ann ann worked at a family planning clinic regularly fielding telephone calls asking for information on abortion. overtime, she became impatient with the phone calls, the clients, and even the agency. She said that many of the questions she answered were "stupid" and wondered why the people were so poorly informed. She chafed at the bureaucratic procedures employed by the agency. Upon further exploration, it appeared that a values issue was at work. ann was firmly opposed to abortion for herself and had been open about that belief with her campus coordinator and the agency. However, she insisted that she believed with equal fervor that everyone should make their own choices and that she was not opposed to abortion in general. however, as the semester progressed, Ann grew more and more uncomfortable with the fact that abortions were performed at her internship site, as the weeks passed, signs of Ann's frustration and resentment became apparent to her supervisor and her coworkers.
