Planned Parenthood’s firing of Dr. Leana Wen seemingly proves that the giant, tax-funded corporation continues to be about one thing: abortion.

I’m surprised that a China-born female doctor would support PP, given the one-child policy of the PRC that certainly offed more girls than boys at the time.
She probably said something like “well Gee ! maybe sometimes we shouldn’t kill the baby”
That was definitely the end of her
