Douglas L. Healy is the proprietor of Healy Law Offices LLC, which has locations in Springfield and Jefferson City, Missouri, and Little Rock, Arkansas. The Healy firm specializes in work with utility companies and regulatory agencies, including the Missouri Public Service Commission. Doug Healy is a member of the Missouri Public Utility Alliance (MPUA) and is active with the Greene County Republicans, especially with the county's Young Republicans.
Healy reportedly has political ambitions, and his story surfaces as Missouri recently passed one of the strictest anti-choice abortion laws in the country. His biography suggests he is conservative and strongly "pro life"; his twin brother, David Healy (also a lawyer) serves on the board of directors of the Springfield Pregnancy Care Center (PCC), even though he has been a paying subscriber to the Ashley Madison extramarital-affairs Web site.
Which of the Healy brothers is the biggest hypocrite? That appears to be a close call, but we might have to give the "honor" to Doug Healy. He seems to be "pro life" only as long as an unplanned pregnancy doesn't hit close to home for him personally. According to public records, Doug Healy, 42, has never been married.
DeAnna Kelley, 41, of Butler County, Missouri, is the mother of Healy's child. She said he repeatedly encouraged her to have an abortion -- or to give the child up for adoption. This is from an email that Healy wrote on August 18, 2014: (The full email is embedded at the end of this post.)
At this point, you have to make a decision; I will help you out with a termination or the adoption process. I know you are against termination, but I wish you would educate yourself on this option and make a reasoned decision. At this point, there is no brain activity; it is simply a part of you. At five weeks, it is barely the size of the end of a ball-point pen. I don't understand how you can consider that a person. The process would be taking a pill and having a period, simple as that, and this would be over. I honestly don't understand why you don't do this and let us both move on with our lives.
Healy said he was in a serious relationship with another woman and asked Kelley to take that into consideration. From the email:
There simply isn't a scenario where we are parents together and your refusal to accept this has ruined our friendship. In consideration of my future wife, I blocked your number; she's getting obsessed with you, and that isn't good for either of us. If you don't want to consider a termination or an adoption, then please do not contact me again, or even mention my name in relation to this. Just tell people it was an accident, and let it go. You're a smart person, but seem to make rash, emotional decisions rather than thoughtful or considerate ones. I would really urge you to make a very well-reasoned decision, rather than one based on emotions. I'll check this account in a couple of weeks to see if you have re-considered your options, but if you haven't, please do not reply or ever contact me again.
