Mandel Ngan/AFP/Getty Images: Leana Wen, the president of Planned Parenthood, was forced out of her position Tuesday due to internal disagreement about the future of the health care and abortion provider: Wen had wanted to focus on the wide-range of services Planned Parenthood provides, not just abortion; others on the board wanted her to more aggressively fight for abortion access.
Planned Parenthood said in a statement that the organization plans to have a new president by the end of the year. In a tweet, Wen said she learned that Planned Parenthood ended her employment in a “secret meeting” even though she was “engaged in good faith negotiations” about her departure. She went on to say in an official statement that she and the board have “philosophical differences” over the direction of Planned Parenthood.
“I came to Planned Parenthood to run a national health care organization and to advocate for a broad range of public health policies that affect our patients’ health … the new Board leadership has determined that the priority of Planned Parenthood moving forward is to double down on abortion rights advocacy,” Wen wrote in a letter to the organization's senior leadership team.
Planned Parenthood Board Chairs Aimee Cunningham and Jennie Rosenthal said in a statement, “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.”, citing sources familiar with the matter, several top political staff members left because of Wen's leadership.
