This week, Dr. Leana Wen began her tenure as the new president of Planned Parenthood.

Wen is a trained emergency room physician and the former health commissioner for the city of Baltimore. She will be the first physician to run the organization in over 50 years, and she is replacing former President Cecile Richards. The surprising appointment of Wen is meant to signal that the organization, currently the largest abortion provider in the United States, is moving away from politics and abortion and will instead focus on healthcare.
