Abortion giant Planned Parenthood terminated their president, Dr. Leana Wen, by a board vote announced today. Her term lasted fewer than nine months. During Wen’s tenure as president and CEO of Planned Parenthood, she oversaw an estimated 100,000 abortions.
In a statement posted on Twitter, Wen said “I am leaving because the new Board Chairs and I have philosophical differences over the direction and future of Planned Parenthood…”

However, her rosy public statement did not match the sentiment of her first reaction Tweet, posted five minutes earlier, which said “I just learned that @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.”

The exact meaning of “philosophical differences” in this case is unclear. Historically, Wen promoted the practice of slaughtering preborn children as “women’s health care,” while announcing plans to “super-size” their abortion business. However, Wen decried in her statement, “the new board leadership has determined that the priority of Planned Parenthood moving forward is to double down on abortion rights advocacy,” perhaps something the CEO became uncomfortable with despite previous statements.
First, our core mission is providing, protecting and expanding access to abortion and reproductive health care. We will never back down from that fight – it’s a fundamental human right and women’s lives are at stake.

Minutes after announcing Wen’s termination, Planned Parenthood announced Alexis McGil Johnson as acting president and CEO of PPFA and acting president of PPAct, saying “Alexis is a renowned social justice leader and tireless advocate for reproductive rights and access to quality, affordable health care.”

Johnson co-founded the Perception Institute, a left-leaning social justice organization, before joining the board of directors for Planned Parenthood for nearly a decade, acting as board chair from 2013-2015, and acting as PAC chair to PPAct.
Whatever differences the board of directors may have had with Wen, and whatever tone Johnson takes in her time at the helm, one thing is for certain: Planned Parenthood has always been, is now, and will continue to be an evil organization that stands for forcing doctors to murder preborn children for any reason, until birth, and funded by your tax dollars.
As for Wen’s future, we must pray for her conversion. May the Holy Spirit move her heart to finally recognize the humanity of preborn children.
Fight Planned Parenthood. Give now!
