Ousted Planned Parenthood President admits more interested in politics than women's health

She took the job hoping to find common ground and put the emphasis on women's health. The board said different that's it's a political war that is the higher priority so they fired her.

OK now is the time to cut all federal dollars flowing into this political group whose primary goal is abortion not "women's health". There are exponentially more other women's health clinics. PP is an abortion clinic and PAC.

"The president of Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the U.S., was removed from her position Tuesday after just eight months.

Dr. Leana Wen tweeted that Planned Parenthood's board had "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." She later posted a copy of a letter to Planned Parenthood officials in which she said that she was "leaving the organization sooner than I'd hoped ..."

"I came to Planned Parenthood to run a national health care organization and to advocate for the broad range of public health policies that affect our patients' health," Wen added. "... The new Board leadership has determined that the priority of Planned Parenthood moving forward is to double down on abortion rights advocacy ... With the landscape changing dramatically in the last several months and the right to safe, legal abortion care under attack like never before, I understand the shift in the Board's prioritization.""

Actually, the truth is the opposite of the headline. Wen was fired because she was not political enough.

 

"""""The new Board leadership has determined that the priority of Planned Parenthood moving forward is to double down on abortion rights advocacy ... With the landscape changing dramatically in the last several months and the right to safe, legal abortion care under attack like never before, I understand the shift in the Board's prioritization.""



GOOD FOR THEM for fighting back at the righty politicians who are trying to destroy women's right to their own bodies.

It IS political.

 

So another reason to stop federal funding that is more interested in political issues than women's health.

It IS political.

But it hasn't

AND it is NOT more "" interested in political issues than women's health""

In this country there is a NEED, UNFORTUNATELY, to PROTECT women's access to health....

PP would NOT have to BE political if demented politicians would quit trying to take away women's right to their own bodies and their access to ALL health care.

 

I disagree with Planned Parenthood on abortion. However, given that the health care industry has plenty of lobbyists in Washington, one can hardly be outraged by the organization's emphasis on politics.

 

Not yet and it should so the money can be given to organizations whose first priority is women's health not the politics of abortion. And I'm am sure you would be OK with the federal government funding pro-life political activity.......not.

 

Oh, gosh, you accidently forgot the whole post

Oh gosh you forgot to read the OP. No more federal dollars give the money to the many many many many more women's health clinics who care more about women's health than politics.

 

IF THOSE women's health clinics were constantly harassed and threatened with shut down or cutting services then THEY would "get political" in a BIG hurry.


Oh, gosh, you accidently forgot the whole post And those Big Blue letters show you to be WRONG...

Stating the obvious here, but is it okay to claim abortions are being prioritized over women's health?

 

That's not obvious....it doesn't even make sense...

 

The OP headline states the opposite of what happened.

The board fired the president because the board wanted to concentrate on the politics of abortion and women's rights.

 

When being attacked, playing Nice-Nice is seldom effective. The religious right are waging war so having Mother Theresa as your defense is rather silly.

 

Wrong analogy. Mother Theresa condemned abortion and raked the Clintons over the coals for supporting it. And because it was Mother Theresa, they sat there and took it.

 

It should read (and I'm guessing there wasn't enough room), "Ousted Planned Parenthood President admits (the organization is) more interested in politics than women's health."

Some wiseacre cleverly pointed out that Wen lasted longer at PP than most of their patients do.

 

Uhh, how long do patients stay at Planned Parenthood...not months or years, usually less than a day....I don't think your "wiseacre" was clever...

Right, none of them last nine months, that's for sure.

Uh, don't you understand what you post?

You said, ""Some wiseacre cleverly pointed out that Wen lasted longer at PP than most of their patients do.""

Wen had a job there, jobs are supposed to last longer than a day. Patients at PP don't go there for jobs , they go as patients.....why are you confused about having a job versus being a patient????

 

Don't you understand what I post? 50% of Planned Parenthood's patients are killed the day they go there. Meanwhile, at actual women's clinics, the clients typically go there for nine months before being released as mother and child.

 

Let's understand something there are expontionally more Women's health providers than PP. The claims they are the largest single provider is only because they are under one banner when the vast majority are not. There are only three PP locations in my entire state, one just recently opened, and all in the middle of large cities NOT in these rural areas but where there are LOTS of other provider options.

So spare us the women seeking healthcare will suffer if PP loses funding because they also kill unborn babies.

 

We have plenty of evidence.



What we don't have is the moral fibre to put an end to this atrocity.

I didn't say they stayed in the clinic, I said they go there for 9 months.

"For a healthy pregnancy, your doctor will probably want to see you on the following recommended schedule of prenatal visits:

• Weeks 4 to 28: 1 prenatal visit a month
• Weeks 28 to 36: 1 prenatal visit every 2 weeks
• Weeks 36 to 40: 1 prenatal visit every week"

All lies. 90% of what Planned Parenthood does is snuff out the lives of unborn children. You can't take anything PP says at face value because they're talking about cutting off its funding, so they will say anything to make sure that doesn't happen.

"In recent years, the annual abortion total at Planned Parenthood has remained fairly stable (ranging from about 320,000 to 334,000) even as overall abortions in the country have dropped significantly. Most of Planned Parenthood’s other services, by contrast, have consistently declined. Contraceptive services have dropped 30 percent since 2009. Cancer screenings (mostly manual breast exams and pap tests) have dropped 64 percent. “Prenatal services” (which were always very rare) have plummeted 81 percent. “Total services” provided by Planned Parenthood are down 15 percent.

Among the three pregnancy-related services Planned Parenthood provides women who are already pregnant (abortion, adoption referral, prenatal services), abortion accounts for 97 percent. For every one adoption referral, Planned Parenthood performs 83 abortions. The group is 41 times more likely to perform an abortion than to provide any prenatal care."

"Planned Parenthood took in a record $1.46 billion in revenue during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017. That’s an increase of more than $100 million over the previous year and a 39 percent rise since 2009**—even as the organization has provided fewer services to fewer clients. During just the last five years, Planned Parenthood’s revenue has exceeded its expenses by $420 million.

In the year ending June 2017, Planned Parenthood received $544 million in government reimbursements and grants. Although federal dollars are not supposed to directly fund abortion (except in rare cases), the money Planned Parenthood receives is fungible and serves to support its abortion activities. Moreover, many states, including Minnesota, directly reimburse Planned Parenthood and other abortion centers for elective abortions through their Medicaid programs."

That's not a patient, that isn't even a person.

Yup, and receive pre-natal CARE from PP....which YOU want to end.

You have never proven that.

Oh, a statement from LIEnews ! An Anti-Choice site....


PP has been audited many times and never have been found to cheat

 

I guess you'd rather believe your self-delusion than your own eyes.

I already showed they don't do that.

I did just below.

Which of course is talking about Planned Parenthood and not themselves. But let's believe the bullshit put out by PP instead of an independent group.

We're not talking about cheating, we're talking about lying. This is an "audit" of their services and it shows that they do indeed lie. When they talk about "services for minority populations", what they mean is 75% of the women getting abortions are black. You know and I know that if abortions were outlawed tomorrow, Planned Parenthood would go out of business because abortion is how they make their money, not pre-natal care, not women's health care. I suspect that if we cut off the government spigot, they'd go out of business. Looking at the numbers, the government provided 1/3rd of all of PP's revenue, and that's just federal dollars, never mind state dollars. Wen was fired because she wanted to actually direct more of PP's attention to women's health and less to abortion, but that wasn't what the organization wanted. They're an evil, evil bunch, the modern equivalent to the slave traders of yesterday, and they should be shut down permanently.

 

It's amazing what an imagination can do when there is no proof of anything....
