"Gloria made her decision to step down after a long 30-year career, and she has not made any announcements about her next step," federation spokeswoman Elizabeth Toledo said Thursday.
A national search for a new president will begin immediately, Planned Parenthood chairwoman La Don Love said in a news release. Karen Pearl, chief executive of Planned Parenthood of Nassau County, New York, will serve as interim president.
"We honor Gloria Feldt's contributions to Planned Parenthood and to the global movement for reproductive justice," Love said. "Her leadership has resulted in significant achievements for the organization and for women and families worldwide."
The 90-year-old nonprofit is the country's largest provider of abortions, performing more than 200,000 annually. It has been a favorite target of abortion foes, whom Feldt once described as "guerrilla fighters" who resent changes that have given women more choices about sex and childbearing.
Abortion-rights activists have found an increasingly hostile reception in Washington and several state legislatures in recent years. Abortion opponents scored a major victory in 2003 with federal passage of a ban on certain types of late-term abortions, although two federal judges have found the law to be unconstitutional.
Planned Parenthood said that under Feldt, it helped protect medical privacy, introduce abortion pills and emergency contraception and win passage of laws in 22 states requiring insurance plans to cover prescription contraceptives. Feldt also was one of the lead organizers of the 2004 March for Women's Lives in Washington, D.C., which drew tens of thousands of abortion rights supporters.
During last year's presidential election, Planned Parenthood for the first time endorsed a candidate, Democrat Sen. John Kerry, in reaction to what Feldt called "the Bush administration's war on choice."
Planned Parenthood Federation of America Inc., based in New York, has been a polarizing organization since its precursor a clinic in Brooklyn was founded in 1916 by pioneering birth control advocate Margaret Sanger. Its clinics treat more than 2.5 million people a year, offering abortions, contraceptives, pregnancy and breast cancer tests, gynecological exams and other services.
Overseeing 200,000 abortions annually. Those are some big shoes to fill. I'm leaning towards Dracula Leatherface from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
They should offer it to Hillary...
She has visions of destruction to the fabric of American morality and body politic which far exceed the potentials of this post...
Dr. Josef Mengele
Chucky
Give it to the NARAL hag. She loves to kill.
"Dr. Josef Mengele"
The Nazi ties to Planned Parenthood are not well publicized but very disturbing:
"The founders of Planned Parenthood had more ties to Hitler than just a shared vision. Their board of directors included avowed Nazi supporters like Dr. Lothrop Stoddard (who authored The Rising Tide of Color Against White Supremacy and another praising the Nazi sterilization law). They used their official publication to spread Nazi propaganda. In April of 1933, Birth Control Review published an article by Dr. Ernst Rubin, who was Hitler's director of genetic sterilization and a founder of the Nazi Society for Racial Hygiene. In this article Dr. Rubin wrote: "The danger to the community of the unsegregated feeble-minded woman is more evident. Most dangerous are the middle and high grades living at large who, despite the fact that their defect is not easily recognizable, should nevertheless be prevented from procreation. . . In my view we should act without delay."

The Nazis monsters were at the forefront of using "hygenic" abortions to weed out what they deemed to be racially "inferior" genetic stock. Recently, Maxine Water, (D) CA stated "I have to march because my mother could not have an abortion."

The sad irony is that she does not see any of the irony, both explicit and implicit, in her statement
How can we nominate Hillary? And push it hard for next 3-4 years.
While Hillary is indeed the perfect candidate for "Jack Ketch"
(ice water for blood, no moral core and soulless), she is a Clinton. Meaning, that you have no core moral values and plastic morality. She has already determined which way the wind is blowing in the American body politic and is slowly moving from her far left abortion stand towards the center:
Clinton calls for 'common ground' on abortion

I am lol, but I wonder if you know how well-timed you are...

ps. They finally found his criminal corpse in Paraguay a few decades back and identified it with DNA. Apparently he died a pariah of some sort.
The mildly humorous irony is that many suitable candidates for the job were no doubt aborted by their pro-choice mothers.
Paris and Nicole could intern there for awile. They have to be a better judge of condoms than the current head.

200,000 annually. "MIT" is in your moniker. You ever wonder how many Salks, Einsteins, Hawkins,Platos, et al, that we have lost?
This will be my last Nazi/irony of the night, but do you realize that while the majority of the Left supports the activities of Planned Parenthood, they would object to punishing Mengele with the death penalty.
The article doesn't say the connection between the early "birth control clinics" with blacks.
Instead of "who" should replace her, how about "what" should replace her. A wrecking ball.
