Planned Parenthood Removes Leana Wen as President

Planned Parenthood on Tuesday removed its president after less than a year in the job, seeking new leadership at a time when abortion rights have come under increasing attack from statehouses and Republicans in Washington.

The move came after hours of negotiations Tuesday between the board of directors and the president, Leana Wen, according to two people familiar with the decision.

Dr. Wen had been the first physician to lead the organization in decades. The people familiar with the move said there had been internal strife over her management, and that the group felt it needed a more aggressive political leader to fight the efforts to roll back access to abortions.

The board voted unanimously on Tuesday to appoint Alexis McGill Johnson, the co-founder of the Perception Institute, an anti-bias research group, to temporarily replace Dr. Wen, the people said. Ms. McGill will serve as acting president and chief executive of both Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the nonprofit that provides health care services, and Planned Parenthood Action Fund, its political arm.

Dr. Wen wrote on Twitter after the news broke: “I just learned that the @PPFA Board ended my employment at a secret meeting. We were engaged in good faith negotiations about my departure based on philosophical differences over the direction and future of Planned Parenthood.”

In a joint statement, Aimee Cunningham and Jennie Rosenthal, the chairwomen of the two Planned Parenthood boards, said, “We thank Dr. Leana Wen for her service to Planned Parenthood in such a pivotal time and extend our best wishes for her continued success.”

Ms. McGill Johnson has served on Planned Parenthood’s board for nearly a decade, including previously as its chairwoman.

“I am proud to step in to serve as acting president and facilitate a smooth leadership transition in this critical moment for Planned Parenthood and the patients and communities we serve,’’ Ms. McGill Johnson said in a statement. “I thank Dr. Wen for her service and her commitment to patients.”

Dr. Wen’s brief tenure — she was appointed last September — has coincided with a fraught moment for abortion rights advocates, as Republican-controlled statehouses in Ohio, Alabama, Indiana, Louisiana and Missouri have all advanced legislation to restrict abortion, and in some cases effectively ban the procedure altogether.

The legislative push gained momentum after Brett M. Kavanaugh replaced Anthony M. Kennedy on the Supreme Court, giving conservatives a possible fifth vote to uphold new limits on abortion. The efforts have alarmed abortion rights groups worried about a challenge to Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that established federal protections for abortions.

Dr. Wen, a 36-year-old former health commissioner in Baltimore, was among Time magazine’s 100 most influential people earlier this year. But inside Planned Parenthood, there had been significant turnover at the top of the organization since her arrival.

She replaced the group’s longtime leader, Cecile Richards, who had been a forceful voice on the national stage for women in general and abortion rights in particular.

No kidding. Holy God is right.

A certified MD vs certified nuts...and the lunatics win. Unreal.

The trans shit trumps years, decades of work by feminists who, whether I agree with their politics or not, have worked to improve the status of women.
Same with Title IX and athletics.
Shot to hell by the wokest of the woke.

What they don’t understand is that we don’t want to take their abortions. All we want is some reasonable, commonsense restrictions.
Has that been said before?

They are eating themselves. This is wonderful.

I don't give a flying f*&k about abortions

I just don't want my tax dollars being used to support the procedures

if you can't keep your legs together, then pay for the consequences yourself, but leave my money out of it

I'm for the government paying for abortions. Because as taxpayers, we only pay once. Instead of a lifetime of payments (welfare, food stamps, etc.)

I think it was James Woods who once asked:
How can your reproductive rights at the same time be:
A: None of my business
B: My financial responsibility

Then twaddle your ass down there to PP & cut a check so that they can all have abortions on your dime.

Of wait, you mean you want all the OTHER tax payers to pay for all abortions.

If you support abortions, pay for them yourself. Quit insisting that everyone has to pay them thru taxes taken at the point of a gun. Step up & finance all the abortions you want, yourself.

The "government" doesn't pay. Where does the money come from?

Hint: Do you work for yours, or did you inherit a farm full of money trees?

So if the Government pays for an abortion, the aborted won't ever need the government assistance they were probably going to take anyway.

Huh. Big Margaret Sanger fan eh?

Absolutely. Give them mics and 24/7 airtime.

It's like a pack of dogs eating one another.
