Wen was removed from her post on Tuesday after less than a year on the job.
Dr. Leana Wen, the former president and chief executive of Planned Parenthood, claimed this week that her ouster from the women's reproductive health non-profit came about because of her desire to depoliticize abortion access.that she faced"daily internal opposition" for her desire to recast Planned Parenthood in the popular consciousness as a mainstream healthcare organization rather than a singularly focused, pro-abortion advocacy group.
In the weeks leading up to Tuesday's announcement, the board and Wen had reportedly been engaged in a conversation about her future at the organization due to disagreements about her management style and philosophical differences over the group's direction in an increasingly politicized abortion landscape.
In her column, Wen acknowledged that she understood pushing the group to change its typically hardline political positions"would be challenging," and she said that she was criticized over perceptions that she"did not prioritize abortion enough."
