Planned Parenthood President: Aborting Babies “Right Thing”

Over 20 years ago, pop singer Alanis Morissette had a song that hit the charts worldwide listing a number of things she thought were ironic. Here’s another one that could be added to the list.

In a new opinion column, Leanna Wen, the new president of the Planned Parenthood abortion business, says she has seen too many “preventable deaths” in her role as a doctor. Never mind that Planned Parenthood could easily prevent the deaths of over 320,000 people a year that it terminates in abortions.

Naturally, Wen did not mention the deaths of those babies as something she could prevent. Instead, just like her predecessor Cecile Richards, when wrapped up abortion in false and misleading euphemisms of healthcare and reproductive health.

Meanwhile, Wen, who calls Planned Parenthood’s primary business of abortion “health care” says it’s the “right thing to do.” When is killing a baby ever the right thing to do?

In my life as an immigrant living in low-income communities, as an emergency physician and as a public health advocate, I have seen more preventable deaths than I can count or recall.

Everything I’ve learned as a public health leader has led me to this conclusion: the threat to women’s health is the greatest public health catastrophe of our time. Planned Parenthood’s work — bringing affordable and accessible health care to as many women (and men and all people) as possible — isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s the urgent thing to do.

Already, one in five women in this country have been to Planned Parenthood for care. I am proud to include myself among them. Like a lot of young people, I knew I could rely on them for reproductive health care provided with compassion, respect and genuine concern. As president, I plan to continue that legacy.
