Planned Parenthood
In 1989 at age 21, Miller began working for a Twin Cities Planned Parenthood clinic as a receptionist. At this job, Miller stated that she found the work fulfilling:[1]
- "I was especially interested in the identity questions (that) women examine when they have an unplanned pregnancy," she says. "It's the big stuff, -- religion, family, life and death -- and the decision about what to do forces the woman to think about what she wants from her life. I wanted to help these women with their ethical conundrums and use the conversations to help decrease the stigma about abortion."

Of her abortion business Miller states,[2]
- "Whole Woman's Health offers unparalleled patient-centered care where the focus is on the whole woman—her body, heart, and mind... As an abortion care provider I believe that abortion is not simply a medical procedure. Whole Woman's Health clinics provide impeccable medical care, generate political activism in our communities, and foster an environment where philosophical and ethical issues are discussed openly. Our commitment to these three arenas-- medicine, politics, and ethics-- forms the foundation for everything we do."
And,[1]
- "The first generation of clinic owners saw themselves as outside the medical mainstream. For me, and for Whole Woman, abortion is just one part of women's reproductive lives. I'm not on the frontlines. I simply want to see abortion normalized as a routine part of women's lives."
