Megan Phelps-Roper is a former member of the Westboro Baptist Church. Formerly a prominent member of the church,[1] she left the church in November 2012.[2] Her mother is Shirley Phelps-Roper,[2] whose father was the church's founder Fred Phelps.[3] She has ascribed her disenchantment with the church's doctrines to interaction with other people on Twitter.[4][2]
