Go here for Monica Migliorino Miller's extensive pro-life resume. This article from Crisis online magazine is about the best we have seen on PP and the firing of their MD president, who mistakenly thought PP was about healthcare and not just abortion. We've posted two other articles on the firing, here Here's why Planned Parenthood fired their President and here Just out - Planned Parenthood fires their President.
And this is Monica's article - we have only put very limited excerpts below the link - you really need to read the whole article and then send it around -
What the Wen Firing Says about Planned Parenthood
Indeed, Wen’s latest explanation appearing last Friday in The New York Times puts an end to all doubts about it. The op-ed headline reads: “Leana Wen: Why I Left Planned Parenthood—I believe abortion is about health care, not politics. Many of my colleagues disagreed.” She openly discusses the “daily internal opposition” she endured. Wen states: “Indeed, there was immediate criticism that I did not prioritize abortion enough.” She sought “to counter those who associate the organization with only abortion and use this misconception to attack its mission, I wanted to tell the story of all of its services—and in so doing, to normalize abortion care as the health care it is.”

What is pathetically sad about Wen’s dismissal is that soon after her miscarriage she wrote an op-ed which appeared in the July 6 Washington Post in which she used the loss of her unborn baby to politically advocate against restrictions on abortion. By then she undoubtedly knew that her job at Planned Parenthood was on the line. In the op-ed she mourns the death of the much-wanted baby and admits that she even “felt the guilt” over the miscarriage, saying she “couldn’t stop the self-blame: Was it all the travel? Was it the late nights? What if I had less stress?” With this it seems Wen questions whether it was her new job as head of Planned Parenthood that caused the miscarriage.
In the op-ed, Wen lambasts state initiatives that restrict abortion, citing in particular legislation in Alabama, and even declares that laws banning abortion—such as Heartbeat Bills—will “allow the investigation of women who have had miscarriages to determine whether they, in fact, had an abortion.” This allegation is absolutely false as the legislation itself specifically indicates women will not be prosecuted for obtaining abortions.
