.PPFA's president has been removed as Trump administration continues to restrict abortion access
Planned Parenthood has removed its president, Leana Wen, as the Trump administration continues to ramp up its efforts to limit abortion access and other reproductive health care services throughout the U.S.
Alexis McGill Johnson, a former board member of Planned Parenthood, has been named acting president until a new leader and CEO is chosen. In a statement, Johnson said she was looking forward to a"smooth leadership transition in this critical moment" for the organization. It appeared as though Wen was not aware that she was going to be removed from her role as president on Tuesday. She wrote in a Twitter post that while she had conversations with leadership about her potential departure, her termination happened during a"secret meeting" between board members.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.
