[Marc and Claire, doing what they do best]
Marc and Claire Headley have been great favorites of ours ever since they knocked us out with their stories of escaping Scientology, which Marc told so well in his 2009 book Blown for Good.
The two are still thriving as great activists criticizing the abuses of Scientology, running the Michael J. Rinder Aftermath Foundation, and operating their YouTube channel.
But we were taken by surprise when we heard from them after a recent story that we posted about how families at Scientology’s Flag Land Base were being rallied to produce publicity photos for David Miscavige’s new initiative aimed at children, the “Golden Age for a New Generation.”
Here’s what Marc sent us…
I saw an article you posted recently about Scientology encouraging children to do their watered-down Scientology courses. At the top of the page, there were a bunch of mothers pictured with their OT levels and the number of kids they had. I was surprised to see my younger sister, Stephanie Lanteigne, pictured.
After Claire and I escaped in 2005, Stephanie was kicked off the Sea Org Int Base in California and sent off to the Sea Org in Canada, because she was deemed a “security risk.” She met a fellow Sea Org member in Canada; they married, and later, she became pregnant. She was routed out of the Sea Org in 2014 and had her son in 2015.
The irony is that before Claire and I spoke out about Scientology coercing women to get abortions, most Sea Org members would not be able to route out of the Sea Org based on a pregnancy. In most cases, the women were encouraged to get an abortion and stay in the Sea Org. And if they were allowed to leave, they would be sent to small, failing Scientology organizations. Since 2006, we have seen countless Sea Org couples who were allowed to leave once pregnant and work wherever they could, and not have to work directly for Scientology in the Sea Org or otherwise.
