However, Johnson said, "so long as women's rights to make autonomous decisions are not interfered with, I have no problem with somebody helping them carry out their wishes." Mrs. Agee's ordeal in the spotlight began when William Agee, who became Bendix chairman and chief executive officer in 1977, hired the then-MCunningham and rapidly promoted her. Critics speculat- - available was not the abortion choice, but the birth choice," Mrs. said. "To me, that was a galvanizing piece of information that continues to be missed in this very heated discussion." "The Nurturing Network gave me hope when I despaired early on," wrote Kate, a woman helped by the organization last fall when she faced the prospect of having to quit her job because she $a$, pregnant.
