Dr. Leana Wen, a former Baltimore City Commissioner of Health, is the new president of Planned Parenthood. The abortion provider announced Wen’s appointment on Sept. 12. She replaces Dr. Cecile Richards, who was appointed to the role in 2006.
In a three-minute video posted by Planned Parenthood announcing her hiring, Wen described her immigrant background–she moved to the United States from China at the age of eight–and her past work as an emergency room doctor and as the health commissioner of Baltimore.
“Reproductive health care is health care. Women’s health care is health care, and health care has to be understood as a fundamental human right,” said Wen in the video.
While in her post in Baltimore, Wen sued the Trump administration over funding cuts to a grant for teen pregnancy prevention programs. The funding was eventually restored.
Americans United for Life President and CEO Catherine Glenn Foster was critical of Wen’s attack on conscience rights, saying “[Wen] refers to the principled decisions of doctors and nurses to refrain from the destruction of innocent human lives as ‘refusals,’ and teamed up with NARAL in the attempt to force pro-life pregnancy centers to refer for abortions.”

PP is the most unchristian organization on the earth.
They placed a minority as president because its harder to criticize a minority.
Exactly, but they are fooling no one except those who want to be fooled.
Fronting for the largest abortion organization in America, she should be prepared for lots of bad press from the good people. And no Dr. Wen, it won’t be because you’re an immigrant woman of color, it will be because you kill babies and think it’s OK. Disgusting and horrific!
I take back some of what I said because some are young and naive and being told the wrong things by “doctors” such these who know deep down it is a child they are killing. Instead of training physicians to save both the mother and child and teaching the couple to control their passions and/or take responsibility for what they did, they just get rid of the child. What goes around, comes around, and sooner or later they will suffer the consequences of what they are doing, no matter how much they scream it is “their right”. Planned Parenthood seduces youth into evil life styles, hooks them on drugs (pills), then as much as pimps them out and destroys the child. Pro life doctors have better ways. Need more of them.
